Well,I have a new one up,it's in a little secret place you'll never know...

P.S This isn't April Fool

See ya on the other blogside,

Doppleganger: Nightmares and Dreamscapes

2010-03-15T21:17:00.000+10:00

Short rant before a story...

Mum:Once more, she comes with the don't-argue-with-me personality. What she doesn't want to admit is that my "namesake" is born on 13/10/1996,has a ranking of 1773 and lives in South Australia,not me. Oh come,on....I don't play under 12s or 14s...SO OBVIOUS....makes me wonder if you're the one enjoying,because YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO.If you want ,just pick up a racket and hit a ball and DON'T USE ME.....*bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

Whatever,long story short. More info on messenger.

Now,I just had a creepy dream.Won't name anyone,let's just say there's the characters below...

Protagonist,boys in Numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 as well as girls a,b and c

And then there's the setting:Good ol' CHMS, complete with minor modifications,the stairs near the canteen was somehow cacat....

Now,protagonist started by walking with girl A up the stairs of the section between kindy and secondary block.They reached the 1st floor(a.k.a Form 3 section) and jabbered away as they were walking.As they approached the secondary staircase(they were walking along the corridor), protagonist and girl A were suddenly in front of boy 2 and boy 3.And then.........THE INEVITABLE.THEY PRACTICALLY K*SSED(AND IT'S D*MN FRENCH TOO).Girl A was horrified and disgusted and stormed down the stairs, protagonist followed, then realised he couldn't catch up and then sat down on the stairs. Boy 2( yes, by now you should be concluding he's h*m*s*x*a*) said he doesn't get the fuss about being a you-know-what...

Flash forward,protagonist finds girl A at a primary 1 classroom (orange?I know it's directly opposite the scout room,the mini-stairs on the right) and then boy 4 suddenly called out protagonist to play a "different game" of jala (tag in english XD).The rule was ridiculous:you could only tag another person if he's on the same floor (I counted the primary as 1st and 2nd due to the minor elevation),and the 2nd floor is omitted. Just like boys, the game was played. Around sunset, boy realised that boy 5 came down from 2nd floor to tag, and remembered where girl A was. To protagonists's surprise, she vanished. And somehow,there was food on the table.Hot dogs,cakes,sandwiches. Girls B and C were at the door,and other boys helped themselves....

And I found myself waking up 30 mins later than usual....

Rating: 4.5/5 stars(Ask me for full plot.Summary below)

Ordinary schoolgirl(maybe not,considering she has two "hairwings") falls for "weird" boy (very silent type),however,she is unable to confess to him.Meanwhile, there's a delinquent who falls in love with her. Hilarity ensues.....(A way of making a long plot short)

Memorable opening song lines:gurugu mamaru!!gurugu mamaru!!gurugu mamaru!!gurugu mamaru!!
Memorable moment in anime(plenty,but I know one really well)(translated)
Tenma:"karasuma-kun, nikujaga to kare,dochika suki?(She's saying which one does he prefer,nikujaga or curry)
Karasuma:"Kare.."
Tenma:"Ano-ne,www......watashi to kare...dochika suki?" (Her or the curry)
Karasuma:"Kare..."
You know the reaction XD
Memorable ending song lines:la-la la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la,la-la-la la la-LA!!

In case you don't know what the opening song lines mean...it means "spinning round and round" in Japanese. Boy,I'd wish I was like that.

Why?Tests =.= Assignments =.= moooouuuuuuuuu!!!!

Last legs

2010-02-28T22:51:00.000+10:00

Very odd,no?

I lost my semis match.Was pretty glad I even made it out in one piece.And guess who isn't....

Seriously feel like breaking someone's leg and tell them to get out to play.It's better to let wings grow rather than clip them.I'm not saying I'm independent,it's the more caged up I get,the less I develop.So yeahh,degrade me all you want,you're just a person wearing a shell of a mother...

As for dad:Yeah,keep on thinking about wins.No wonder you can't go out to play anymore:the moment your knees were screwed,you gave up.What a wuss,and now you're driving your ambitions into me.Am I a vessel?HAH,NO.You're a "living dead" in tennis,I walk wounded,battle scars accumulated.You?Tiny setback made you have a phobia.PATHETIC

Back from QCS,more short posting.Hopefully you guys won't get turned away by it XD (of course,I'm always online so I could tell the whole story)

-Met a cute young kid who said to me:"Do you shave?Then you have cancer right?" Awwwwww......
and then when wearing the Red Lions shirt (hey,pride :D) "I thought the national animal is the koala".Gee,What does a koala symbolise on court?Adorable?Still,I kind of liked the kid's energy.

-Finished maths draft in 1 hour.Not much work.

-Finished 4 books and counting

Lovely Bones-4.5/5

One Whole Perfect Day-3.5/5

Nightmares and Dreamscapes-3/5

The Push-4/5

Next up:not telling title,but here are the clues

1)18th and 19th century
2)Author had used a pen name with the surname "Bell"
3)2 characters whose names start with "cat"

-Does reading romance novels means I'm g*y?Well,I don't think so,after all,does reading Eragon means you're childish?XD and just to let readers know,Paolini replaced the "D" with the "E".How creative....

-Bio asignment=CLONING!!!Now to do some splicing XD...

Finally chess,where a grade 8 or 9 person challenged me to a chess match.I simply said "Don't know how to play".Challenged anyway.Played 2 matches today,he lost both.1st one by surrendering and 2nd one by attempting to claim stalemate(which he tried to escape).I wasn't so serious,but still..

Him:"I beat you :D...Not in the game,but mentally"
Me:"Well,I was reading a book when we were playing,and I didn't really need to think much..."
"Shut up...."

~ More than just diamond ~

Her best friend they may be,
But never will they worth more than he,
For beneath the glitter and transparency,
Lies thunderstorms full of ferocity,
She doesn't know blood was shed for her,
Blood that came from unknown souls,
So much sacrifice,
No wonder the crystals are cold,
But never will the skin of he,
For it is warm and it always shall be,

Girl,
Heed the call of the jewels,
Beckoning to the fingers,
And rush towards the side of the one you desire,
For he does not shed blood for lost causes,
But he gives you his heart and soul
Never hold the strings that control him,
For his life is his own,
You're precious to him as he is to you,
He's not like a diamond,that's true
You may immerse yourselves in a bed of Swarovsky,
But never will they love you back like he,
They exists as accessories,
He's here for you,
Only he is necessary,
They will make you feel blue,
Forget the money and share your feelings,
And you'll find love in ths world you live in.

Honor the Fallen

2010-02-08T18:23:00.000+10:00

Well,another long hiatus.This time,I'll try to write as much as I can

For the past week,I have

-concluded that I don't enjoy grade 12 so far
-played Bioshock
-finished Macbeth
-watched "An Inconvenient Truth" starring the oh-so-super-eco-warrior Al Gore
-Watched a Macbeth modern retelling
-did experiments
-been annoyed with a certain mega-egoed bastard.
-found out GCE results are out(and I wasn't there,duhhhh XD)
-been on the receiving end of "stereotypings" (you know what I mean.If you don't,clue: car _ _ _ _,take out the "e" and replace it with "ist")

Now,in no particular order,let me begin....

Maths,one I loathe,yet I score,and now I'm like a frog in a well.Well,just the "trying to get out" part.Sine and cosine rule have returned to haunt me again,and as a result I have decided to attempt to practice as often as I can.And as you can see,I have so far been unsuccessful due to a certain word called "procrastination".

Bio,Bird's beginning to creep me out.Didn't expect to do a dissection on a rat.A RAT!!Poor thing.we haven't done it yet,but I'll try and opt out of it.

Chem,already a report needs to be done.Due date?25/3....Involves batteries.Talked to WJ about the elements.Need suggestions for the best and most stable combination without imploding (unless you hate me dearly :D).So far I'm leaning on barium and flouride or lithium and silver.

Eng,like I said,is all about Macbeth.Finished book,ain't too bad,probably 3.5 stars.Movie's a bit weird.I mean,WHAT'S WITH THE "PIGS WILL FLY" SINGING??!!Still,3 stars....no,not Michelin stars,I mean rating out of 5....

Geo,still ok,enough said......XD

There's a swimming carnival on wednesday,and I CAN'T SWIM.Yes,I know,disgraceful,but hey,I'm not a Baywatch hunk saving a damsel in distress who's all trapped in the ocean and there's sharks around.Still,did you know playing dead actually is better than swimming when there's sharks around?Mhmm XD.

Tennis,still looking solid.My doubles partner Yuki came back from a long layoff.I didn't expect too much of him and wasn't surprised when he lost the 1st set 1-6.He didn't play too bad for a person who's been on hiatus for like a month or so.Still,although he showed some frustration which I've rarely seen before,he slowly picked up where he left off and took the 2nd set 6-3(no 3rd set under this weird format),making the opponent swear at every point he lost.Then we teamed up in doubles and won 6-2.However,it wasn't without controversy.I hit an easy smash(seriously,so easy a girl with no experience in holding a racket could do it) which would have been wayy out had it not smack right at the kidney area of the player,which made me feel a little guilty.My point,but my loss.Yuki served a wild one on match point with nearly got the player at the net(same player I accidentally smashed the ball) which resulted in a barely audible "^&*ing *s*ans did it twice" and didn't shook hands.Now,I don't like being stereotyped,but that's not the end of the day(won my singles 6-1 6-0).On the way home couple of NC rugby goons were cramped on a little silver Echo and shouted out "#$%^ing *S*AN!!".So yeahh,clearly this nation has issues,but what could be done?The Indian murders,to which the Victorian Police replied without hestitation"We are not a **c*st country".Yes,I understand that the country isn't,but some people do take things a little too far,no?I'm not calling anyone **c*sts,I prefer stereotyping as it is a "cleaner" word,but still,I'm sitting on the fence.No one wants Humpty Dumpty to have a great fall.Well,for your information,I know that some are from a certain region,yet speak english with no traces from that certain region of the world,and are very fortunate to have skin tones that enable them to avoid being targets.Too bad I ain't one of them.My accent suggests that I ain't no ordinary Chinaman with some funky hairstyle with a brown dye complete with glasses and a tendency to sleep(FYI,I have no idea what accent I have......),but to those who don't know me,they still classify me as one of the "invading foreigners" (as some may call it).I guess here's one of the places where books are sometimes judged by their covers....

Finally,the last part,and I suppose I haven't talked a bout a certain mega-egoed bastard.Now,he's a tennis player as well,better than me without a doubt.But what irks me is that he's got a trashmouth to go with his "I'm like Muhammad Ali,float like a butterfly,sting like a bee" look(even has an earring.If you're paying a homage to Tsonga,I suggest you stop.Disgraceful....I mean,you're nothing like Jo).First of all,he dances around me,mocking my loss against an ex-Nudgee who went to S'pore (and I was favored to win) continously.Hey,my loss,I've gotta learn from that.Mock me all you want,it's a lesson I've learnt.

We traded our scores,and found out that he scored a draw against his opponent (6-1 4-6)which,after discussing with some fellow peers,should have been an easy win for him if it weren't for him toying around.And he was like "look,I gave him a 1-5 lead".Mmmm yeah sure..Too bad then,unlike my loss,which I took my foot off,which costed me,the other guy didn't.So it is logical that the other guy definitely deserves the set and even the whole match.

guess what he replied when he knew my score "Your opponent's retarded".SAY WHAT??!!I PRACTICALLY PLAYED IN THE SAME DIVISION YOU WERE IN.First of all,although my oponent was somehow deflated,HE'S NOT RETARDED.WHAT'S THE POINT OF SHAKING HANDS AT THE END THEN??!!In my opinion,there's a part of tennis called honor.Respect should be shown towards your opponents on the other side of the court.Like it or not,one should be beaten by another at full strength(unless there's certain crcumstances....).Now that's honor.Come August,if that honor is absent,I have no idea what you are going to do.You may beat me as bad or play as crappy as you like in doing so,but you're not going to get support from me as much as the others.

well,one more thing.If one loses to a girl in a match,it may mean two things : You seriously like her,or you just had a bad day.... That's what happened to another person I know who lost to a girl I know (and also is in the same group in Friday training).I'll say the latter....

Sound like witchcraft,I know,but that's reserved for Macbeth,written by Shakespeare and is the play I'm reading for English...

Anyways,I've beem MIA for some time due to Oz Open.Yes,fed won,Serena won and I lost REALLLY BAD in predictions......Expect more MIA for now until end of year(sry,really busy)

Anyways,Maths has returned to the topic I loathed 2 years ago (and still do):THE SINE AND COSINE RULE.ARRGGHHHH!!

Now,the reason I came up with the title was due to bio class.Yes,I had the Bird as my teacher (great :D),but I DID NOT EXPECT REPRODUCTION IN DAY ONE OF REAL SCHOOL.I mean,hey,I'm 15 here,try not to stress my mind with s*xual facts and no,I don't think about it EVER....Not like some who does once in like what,3 minutes?

Just My Luck...

Once again,I went out for another tourney,found my friend hyping up...

No surprise he crashed and burned.That's two outta two.don't expect the third time lucky.....

never liked being a seeded player (FYI I'm No.2 in the draw) but still,guess i gotta get used to it sometimes.No more "who's this?" and need to be more aware

Practically won with just one hand on the racket while hitting the ball today.Seriously not playing well.Mum's poor analysing is taking me closer to giving her a full criticism of her undertsanding of the game.Physical,physical,physical?You're better off being a stone.really,no encouragement....epic faill....

Honestly,I heard her say asparagus,and she mentioned it 5 times,even asked for half a bunch.Also mentioned bananas......

went to market,got em,no half a bunch of asparagus though......

Came back and she was like "No,no,noooo,not asparagus"

*Goes to check spaghetti sauce mix* "Celery"

And she rants about the bananas not being what she wanted...

I wish I could play at Rod Laver Arena but no,I'm not.....

Ah well,enough "no"s,no?

Anyways,just to tell you guys that I might be trying to find another blogging site (or whatever it's called) due to the fact that I'm simply not smart enough to figure the setings....

And yes,I'm not leaving Twitter out of the equation....

Stop and stare

2010-01-08T18:20:00.000+10:00

In one year my life took a turn for the worst and the next I feel like going 6 feet under.

Checked the draw for the next tourney and I thought it was kinda favourable at first.Then they had a redraw,and now I'm against the same person who booted me out of the 1st round on Monday.Same went for doubles,only this time I've got two people who I've met before on the other side of the court whereas my mum can't resist blasting me for getting a random pick and ending up with a dud as a doubles player.

P.S mum:I've seen the results and I'm convinced that he's no dud.In fact, you're getting really annoying cuz you're not really having a good understanding.Agreement?WHAT AGREEMENT??!!You broke it as soon as it started.Call that an agreement?I call that breaching....If you haven't noticed, you've been wanting to desert me for ages.You can't wait to see me fail life and mock my choices.You prefer a person live free rather than die trying, and run away from the wounded.Call yourself a mum?It's more like I didn't exist and a robot in my place.

Head's so screwed up right now I just feel I wanna go

2010-01-04T21:39:00.000+10:00

Not so bad turned very bad day...

Lost in 3 tight sets 4-6 7-5 4-6 in the 1st round.Knew my mistakes and positives, just can't achieve state of harmony...

1st of all,what's with dad laughing over the phone? My answer: He wants me off the court
Mum glaring at me like a serial killer? Hey, the need to win drains a person of power, and that's what I got wrong.I think about winning, and I'm not even close to finishing the match.

Guess both never got the true meaning of sports.I mean, they're all thinking about physical stuff, and yet, they're missing on something else...

The brain,people,the brain...

Look,take for example,Federer (I know some of you may not like him, but bear with me).He doesn't look as physically imposing as,say, Nadal.In my opinion, Rafa would have rolled him up and throw him without a problem. But why couldn't Rafa beat Fed all the time?The answer lies within the mind. People say the game is 50% physical,50% mental. I might agree, but I reckon it's the mental that comes first.What's the point of being so buff when you don't feel so well?You may be muscular, but when your mind isn't up to it,you're just as limp as a huffing 100kg man doing a marathon,right?

Now back to Fed and Rafa.Put Rafa's physical at a full 50%,whereas Fed's probably around 35-40.Now,take the mentality into play.Fed's not perfect nowadays,so I'll give a 40-45 and Rafa probably just the same.Result: Fed 75-85 Rafa 90-95 no?So it means Rafa beats Fed right? That's if only the mental holds up. When Fed has a better mentality than Rafa,the game changes.get what I mean?

Sure, probably doesn't make much sense, but that's how I think...

Oh and just one note: Mum's trying to reach an agreement and breached it without even knowing it.Hey, you want me to share ideas?I will, but what's the meaning of it when you actually want your own ideas?
P-thetic.......Guess she looks satisfied that she gets what she wants, but she doesn't know what I really think....Hey,I may be an a**hole or an idiot like what you said, but I'm no pushover.Learn to respect?More like earn the respect.....Harsh,but that's what you get when my different personality takes over.

Road to UQ

2009-12-29T19:38:00.001+10:00

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

2009-12-28T10:26:00.000+10:00

"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

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....

2009-12-23T09:20:00.000+10:00

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

2009-12-23T08:53:00.000+10:00

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

2009-12-20T19:41:00.000+10:00

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

2009-12-19T14:03:00.001+10:00

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

2009-12-17T20:24:00.000+10:00

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....

2009-12-16T10:21:00.001+10:00

*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

2009-12-14T17:20:00.000+10:00

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....

2009-12-10T18:45:00.000+10:00

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.........

Hehe, I've won the battle for now XD

After Dark

2009-12-08T19:15:00.000+10:00

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

2009-12-05T21:35:00.000+10:00

With approval,I can now see em live :D

Nothing much,still Bleach-ing XD

Home alone

2009-12-03T12:39:00.000+10:00

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.....=.=

Georgie

Me 1 , Sick Bastard 0

2009-11-30T16:27:00.001+10:00

Very very very bad mood today, would be willing to shout at someone for a change...and yes, I swore =.= Like so badly, just for the price of winning this battle

As you can see, so far the morning is not of my liking, with the ever pushy idiot bossing around like Hitler. Good thing is I can't get any yet, and screw him

"If I drop dead,who would support both of you?"
RATHER SEE YOU DO THAT AND LEAVE ME TO STARVE, MONEYEYES

And he told me to smile, blah blah blah when going for a job
TWO WORDS FOR THAT AND A WHOLE LOTTA MORE: SO FAKE!!YOU CAN SEE BY MY FACE THAT I'M NOT IN THE MOOD AND YET SMILE??!!WHAT AM I, YOUR TV WITH YOU HAVING A REMOTE?!!

Later at the McCafe "I know you're a Gen Y"
BLAH BLAH, STOP COMPARING GENERATIONS,FOOL!THE TIME WHERE YOU CAN JUST RUSH TO THE COUNTER AND GET A JOB IS ALMOST PRACTICALLY OVER!!

Yes, and he did bought some food and drinks, but not easy to calm me. Didn't took the burger and threw the orange juice (a waste I know, but it's carbonated. Still,it's a waste....)

And now "I give you one year for tennis.It's not for casual"
EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU DOUBTING ME??!!

The whole day has been nothing but $,$ and more crappy $.*sigh* Oh well, newspapers say that students actually handle better.TAKE THAT!!

Mad Georgie

Extra,extra

Fine, I did apply, so happy now??

Guess he wasn't

"Why casual? What about the money?"

Here he goes again....

Legitimate?

2009-11-29T20:15:00.002+10:00

Extra,extra..

*sigh* Pushing me around is bad enough, but puh-lease, are you really my father? If so, explain what sort of crap you put in, because the dates aren't right and some are overexaggerated. I hope your plan fails tomorrow, because

1)I don't really enjoy fast food
2)Can't stand smell of oil
3)Not my decision
4)I didn't take the step, hence it looks odd enough to the point I might tell my opinion about your intentions
5)I'm gonna raise the count of packets of your cigs I plan to throw away to 2

Very,very bad mood right now(sorta)

Georgie

Overload....

2009-11-29T17:29:00.003+10:00

As you know,dad's back , and I'm overloaded again....

Anyways, not much to report, besides his "nefarious" schemes relating to money (when will he ever stop...) as well as the ever mouthful you-know-who (same rule applies). Very dysfunctional indeed....

Anyways, I've just had a really depressing day that started because of some silly dream (probably the worst ever) that I recalled I had last night in the middle of my shower...

Geez, it just got weirder...

You just can't get her out of your head, can't you loverboy?And just when you thought you did....She came back...

Georgie

Stressed

2009-11-26T23:08:00.002+10:00

Holiday,holiday, we are holiday!!

*Steps on nail..

*begins to cry

Lol....That's so 2002....

Busy studying ( weird huh :D)

Nothing much,just looking for tournaments to join

Korean James has moved up my "people to avoid" seriously,it's obvious how phoney he is....

Dad's thinking about me working at Mac,Mac and Mac.....C'mon,you a fast food eater now?I'll burn your cigs first before you could do that XP

Borrowed bio book from head of bio (uh-0oh..)

Gotta go..

Officially gone paranoid.Have begun searching for cause of my flaws

Among the searches:

Teen memory lapse
Parental overeaction
Effects of smoking during pregnancy

I still have to do my Eng though...

She started it again,making all those b*tchy comments as if she's that d*mn perfect.URGH....

Disturbia

2009-11-22T02:32:00.003+10:00

Bad night again.....mum had nothing to pick on, and practically lashed out at me for chatting and blogging this late. For her info, I don't think anyone talked to me, and I don't blog for 12 hours straight. Oh well, she erupted again and was like:

"Since when have you admitted you're wrong?"

Like OMG.....have you?

And yes, having the tantrum of a toddler, she threatened to leave me alone for boot me out and call the cops.

*sigh* Overreaction...I'll guess I'll leave the house very,very early tomorrow and come home very,very late or possibly not at all.

Ciao,

Escaped detention again :D...At the cost of likely not so good grades (and it's bad enough that the chem teacher's a tough marker...). Bio went ok, stumbled a bit, eng I will do tomorrow the presentation, submit speech as well.Oh well, you guys are lucky...

Going Under

2009-11-19T19:33:00.005+10:00

Guys, I'm gonna need your help

1)I've got an assignment due tomorrow and I need anyone to talk to me to keep me company as well as distract me from Mapling and BleachXD.

2)Had an ok year till these 2 weeks.HORRIBLE,urgh.....

3)also need to submit english speech tomorrow.Powerpoint presentation on Monday.Can't believe I got a C for my article.I mean,WTH.....if you want,read it and give me some tips (ask me for file)

4)Also have Bio C'level test tomorrow.Myers,looks like I have to get your help

5)Next poll:Evanescence vs Paramore. My opinion:Evanescence hand down.Goth rock is awesome XD LOL.Paramore is just a wannabe.Went back to old times with 'Going Under' from Evanescense and "All About Us" bu t.A.t.U(Something like that).Just realised that the song was originally written by the Veronicas.Figures,considering the vocals sound similar.

Reason why I picked those two songs from my memory?They were sooo epic whenh I was around P4.Used to think of those songs.Dunno why,obsessed with heartbreak I guess XD

Ciao.

P.S Here goes dodging detention again..

Dirty Politics...

2009-11-17T23:32:00.001+10:00

Forgot to add: Kevin Rudd's Lost Generation speech or whatever it is is SOOOO FAMILIAR.Why?Almost the same thing over and over again,just like the one to the native people.Nit that I have anything against it,but I sense plagarism.wow,and I though only students do that....

Some idiot tied my bag to another bad to another bag and no one know who done it. I'm getting the impression of Nudgee students (except me and a fair few) as :

-Retards
-Idiots
-Stoners
-Playboys
-Rich
-B*tchy

And a whole lotta more degaratory words for em.Good thing they're getting some expelled though.Problem is,they're not doing crackdowns properly.As for culture,I don't see any Malays around.Hmm,maybe they really are ....... after all.....

Lose yourself

2009-11-11T21:21:00.001+10:00

Mr.PokeNose has just ruined it again...By that I mean my mood,my schedule and my post (believe me,I had to close without saving this post for like almost 10 times now because everytime he walks near my "HQ",he can't resist moving his eyes to take a peek.IT IS FINAL.I WILL THROW ONE PACKET OF HIS CIGARETTES INTO THE BIN.Honestly,I'm not in the mood to get ahold of my senses,so I'm really gonna do it.Out go the morals,in come the instincts..

And how did I get into this rage?Not steroids,mind you...But chinese class.Once more,it has resumed the "roulette" method of picking when it should happen,and this week it's tomorrow,which so happens to be clashing with my tennis lessons again....C'mon,give all of us a break.You've switched dates like what?15 times?THAT'S PATHETIC!!Look,mum told me to put subjects first,and I don't like to do so,but I obliged and LOOK WHAT I GET.My schedule IS SO MESSED UP RIGHT NOW.Seriously,don't try to abuse power of being a teacher and set class dates whenever you like.The teacher's strike going on now is annoying me a lot,and for you to add extra burden to my severely limited patience makes me blow up pretty easily?

And guess what?In comes PokeNose...I got back and here's the scenario(in my room)

"Where's your name on the booklet?"
"what booklet?"
*points to awards night booklet
"Oh that,you don't need to have a name,it's just a program?
"Come one,do you best in what you are doing.Why isn't your name there?why didn't you get any awards?Even tennis?"
*walks out of the room
As I closed the door to have some privacy,it slapped me hard:HE ACTUALLY EXPECTS ME TO HAVE ONE

here's a salvo for you: YOU'RE AN OBSESSIVE FREAK WHO CARES OF NOTHING BUT ACCOLADES AND MONEY.FURTHERMORE,YOU CAN'T RESIST INVADING MY PRIVACY WHENEVER YOU WANT.YOU'RE MORE LIKE A STALKER.IF I WERE A GIRL,IMAGINE WHAT YOU MAY HAVE DONE.YOU'RE JUST SOME IDIOT WHO CRAVES FOR UNNECESSARY THINGS IN LIFE.IF YOU CAN ASK ME THOSE STUPID QUESTIONS,THEN LET ME ASK YOU THESE:"WHERE'S YOURS?WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING HERE?WHY WOULD YOU DRAG ME ALL THE WAY HERE TO THIS SAVAGE ISLAND ALONG WITH YOU JUST FOR TO MAKE SOME MONEY FOR YOURSELF AND GIVE ME SOME CRAPPY TALK ABOUT STUFF THAT'S REALLY NOT IMPORTANT AT ALL.TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,YOU'RE A FAILURE WHEN IT COMES TO PARENTHOOD,AND WITH THAT YOU DRAGGED ME INTO BECOMING A FAILURE LIKE YOU,YOU WASHED UP LOST GENERATION AKA GENERATION X,WHO ACTUALLY SOMKES AND DRINKS FOR THE SAKE OF IT.YOU KNEW THE EFFECTS,YET YOU DIDN'T BOTHER.IF SOMETHING WRONG HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF YOUR HABITS,I WILL NOT SHOW MUCH SYMPATHY.

Sheesh,big deal.I mean,I want to get an academic award,and it would be nice to have one being in my 1st year.But puh-leeze,there's other things to that.If you're thiking of me getting a scholarship,I still have a year to go.In that year anything could happen,but at this rate you're gonna be the biggest obstacle in my path.Just to let you know I'm actually within reach of Geography's No.1 spot(I should be No.2 by now having topped the other no.2 student in this semester) as well as top 3 in bio(Only 3 have A's).I can do it,but these guys work just as hard as I do and they probably are more natural than me.C'mon,I don't see you having much accolades yourself.And what an irony.A few years back,you were encouraging me to take an ECA.And for the last year or two,you were whining around about not going for scouting or tennis.GET YOUR MIND RIGHT,RETARD.I HAVE MY OWN AGENDA,AND IF IT'S DIFFERENT FROM YOURS,THE SO BE IT.YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPORTIVE EVEN IF YOU'RE HARSH,YET YOU'RE CONTRADICTING ON WHAT I DO AND SCHEMED TO GET ME TO YOUR EXPERTISE.DREAM ON,BAKA!!THIS IS PART OF MY LIFE.YOU EITHER SERVE AS AN INFLUENCE OR A HINDRANCE.YOU DON'T HAVE A REMOTE CONTROL ON ME.

I feel a little better now.......

About 30 mins ago,he told me if I was busy...*Note that my mood is still seriously bad

"Yeah"
"Open the NAB website"
"I said I was busy"
"Just for 5 minutes"

And then he instructed me this that,log in,username and password.when it came to the password,I fumbled a little and after the whole thing was done....

"Took you 3 times to get it right...See?People talk,you don't listen.."

ARGH,SCREW YOU.HAVE YOU GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT THE 1ST TIME??!!YOU'RE SERIOUSLY ONE OF A KIND.

Right now I wish I had never been born(honest),or mum actually giving birth to my sibling instead of me.Who knows what could happen?Maybe he/she would have a like different life I have,maybe the same.Maybe we could have looked out for each other,and protect each other.Unfortunately,I walk alone,no one backing me up.I guess life s*cks after all,you can't have what you wanted.I wonder if this is all worth fighting for,if this is all dying for....

I've only got one shot,it's my chance to blow.This opportunity comes once in a lifetime..

Stay through it all

2009-11-09T20:23:00.000+10:00

My recent "pimpings" of my blog will continue!!

Here's the good news:

-I should have been casted for the lead role in "The Matrix" trilogy because I managed to dodge detention over and over again :D as a result on handing in my work on time.

-I somehow feel very heated whenever I listen to the song "Evacuate The Dancefloor" by Cascada (I danced too much?O.O).I hate to say this, but it's AWESOME (Cobra Starship,you've gotta run for your money.Poll for best dance song will be after "Worst Female Artist Of The Year")

-djoker beat Fed-Ex (Ooh-la-la)

-I found a way to watch Secret Life online

And now the bad news:

-Classification of dad : MoneyEyes,Degrader,Mr. I-come-home-at-the-wrong-time,Sir PokeNose(Evident by his constant checking of my room so paranoid he could have also possibly have been mistaken for a stalker or worse.......)
-Classification of mum: Me-right-u-wrong,Me-smart-u-dumb,Me-talk-u-listen-and-don't-talk-me-back-cuz-I'm-Me-right-u-wrong-and-Me-smart-u-dumb,Me-add-extra-quote-after-dad-so-that-u-go-crazy,Degrader 2

-Bio and chem is looming,gotta call Keanu Reeves to teach me more of the Matrix....
-Chelsea beat Man U 1-0

-Celts lost for 1st time....

Enough of that for now....

I got a bit down again,thanks to the combo of somehow sappy songs(culminating with my current No.1 pick :D).And somehow,the ripples almost turned to earthquakes.Furthermore,I have seriously bad luck in both missing buses and ending up sitting behind some couple flirting =.=

I READ A NEW BOOK!!It's by Nick Earls(an author from Brisbane and one of the few aussies,about 10, that I don't hate) entitled "The True Story Of Butterfish" (which is pretty oily in taste LOL)

Summary:After a band album tanked,a 30-something slightly overweight dude settles down in a residential area.He meets a 16-year old schoolgirl,her 14-year old punk brother and their mother.Things change when the girls suddenly seems more than interested in his music.To make things worse,the band lead singer,who was the catalyst in breaking up the band,decides to drop by.(btw forgot to add the family of 3 are his neighbours)

Rating: 4 stars out of 5

why?
Good points:
-Girl is pretty charming,punk kid rebellious and mum's a little bad in cooking(make that very bad)
-Man has a sad story(fits perfectly)
-Lots more in "Shocking stuff"

Bad points:
-280 pages?Awwwww
-A little soft on the ending (like girl kisses man on cheek?)
-It's not sappy enough to make me cry(well,almost)

SHOCKING POINTS!!
-Man actually had a studio which so happen to overlook the neighbours pool courtesy of a dead bush and twice he spotted something "indecent" and apparently she knew it the second time a round and when she visited him,she wasn't wearing any Triump(you get the point)

Verdict:OMG,ewwww,perv......

-Band leader actually slept with man's then girlfriend and no-one knew

Verdict:Ewwww,OMG,HOW COULD YOU,YOU DIRTY ROCKSTAR!!

Page 159-162
-Girl actually snuck in to his house,took a shower and wore the bathrobe he just bought.When he got back,she actually "French"(you know the next word...) and ALMOST *ahem*.Luckily it stopped at some point where the girl returned to her senses and rushed out of the house and into hers,unfortunatly leaving her clothes back in his house which she forgot after she took a shower (shirt,pants,even knickers...).

Verdict:OMG,NOOOOOOOO!!!!,ewwww,lewd,perv....Can't he be like younger so the romance would be more believable,NICK EARLS YOU ALMOST MADE ME CRY,SKOP THE PAGES NOW!!!!

-Man's brother was g*y

Verdict:SHOCKING.......

-Punk kid has fishes named after rockstars,wears black often,drinks beer

verdict:ARE YOU NUTS!!!

Oh well,that's all for today,see you soon!!

I realise your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard,

Jump,then fall into me...

Okay,short post since I'm wayy past bedtime (1130pm by the way..)

-Dad's here as usual,coming at the wrong time and got me really grumpy at 7am.Funny how he comes at a bad time(like,I'm supposed to finish my work now and he comes back wreaking havoc on my planned schedule)

-Will post out new top 5 for the week (2 new entries!!)

-I have fallen in love :D........with this song LOL

Taylor Swift: Jump Then Fall

I like the way you sound in the morning,
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realise your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard

I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is we should be together

(chorus)
Every time you smile,I smile
And everytime you shine,I'll shine for you

Woah I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall,jump then fall into me

Baby I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
Cause I'm gonna stay through it all so jump then fall

Well I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me I love the freckles on your face,oh,
I've never been so wrapped up,honey
I like the way you're everything I ever wanted

I had time to think it over and all I can say is come closer
Take a deep breath and jump then fall into me

Every time you smile, I smile
And everytime you shine, I'll shine for you

Woah I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me

Baby I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
Cause I'm gonna stay through it all so jump then fall

The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
When people say things that brings you to your knees,
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile

Whoa I need you baby
Don't be afraid please
Jump then fall, jump then fall into me

Baby I'm never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
Cause I'm gonna stay through it all so jump then fall

Jump then fall baby
Jump then fall tino me, into me

Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine
And every time you're here baby, I'll show you, I'll show you
You can jump then fall, jump then fall, jump then fall into me, into me

End

Love,
Georgie

Getting busier by the day.Another short post.

-dodged "detention bullets" by submitting my work on time (yay!!:D)
-met my Little Brother(a term used to describe someone who you're mentoring.In this case,I guess I gotta relive scout days again :D)
-Listened to awfully funny comment made by my friend's little brother("Wow dad,he's really fat"? ROFL c'mon kid,Phil's pretty average for a cybergeek,and tall too,so I might suggest not to make him go all crazy on ya XD but still,good observation,just need to keep some thing to yourself)
-Felt a bit glad at more expulsions(this time it's some 16B player I know saying s*xually harrasing words at the hospitality teacher.And he's even the dux of hospitality...whutta waste.Oh well,you get what your tongue truly deserves)
-Went to awards night(main story below)

To be honest,I'd still prefer to imagine a CHMS's glitz and glamour event(starts thinking of some ridiculous gala dinner where every ex-classmates I know wears D& G,or Jimmy Choo,or Louis Vuitton, ooh-la-la.......).I assure you,if I were to give a rating on this,it'll probably be 5.5/10.Seriously,DINNERTIME??!!AND NO DINNER??!!You've just made a lot of people angry.....And to top it all off,it's friggin compulsory.Nudgee,you've really messed up big time.....and the presentations weren't so good,awards were kind of jumbled,AV crew were HORRIBLE(Show them how it's done,1003 :D),singers were somehow "underperforming"(Right back at you,Mr.Wiseman aka the one who went a little r*cist on tuesday when describing multiculturalism by saying black face,yellow face,etc....To be honest,I still love to hear those CHMS mainstays even though I may get a little tired of em.No offence NC..but people who sing here are either those can't hit the notes,or those who thing they have voices of canaries when they're more like shrieking...)

I've also recently watched Taylor Swift's new video(I'M NOT OBSESSED,MIND YOU) "Fifteen".I have that song for sometime now,and the video was somehow a little sad.Rating:8/10.Maybe just as good as Love Story and You Belong With Me.Love the flowers :D

Hmm,apparently another artist will be coming to Brisbane soon.Clue:"Hit me baby one more time..." I'd prefer to let the critics do the talking....and yes,she's lip-synching(don't they all do?)

Alright,it's past midnight,and dad's coming back tomorrow(noooooooooo!!!).Be back soon :D

P.S. New poll of worst female artist will be out soon XD.

Well,well,Saturday's gone and it's official:16A'S ARE THE 1ST EVER UNDEFEATED TEAM IN NC TO WIN TENNIS PREMIERSHIP(Not sure if "ever" is included.I think it does..:D)

What do you know,long season...now that I look back at it,I feel glad that I've made strides and I'm looking forward to make the 1st IV next year(believe me,I feel I've got a good shot at it right now :D)

I missed the break-up yesterday as I was busy playing tennis fixtures with my partner(in GPS).Yuki insisted that he gets to play No.1 singles this time.Oh well,I knew his intentions ,so I might as well let him.As a result,I missed the whole thing altogether(and the pizzas...mum insisted that she should be coming as well...grrr and she missed 1 type of pizza....Note to self:Go alone and not play fixtures on break-up next year).Basically the awards were about most consisted and most improved(in our team,our No.1 player got most consistent because he was undefeated himself,but to be honest he got kind of lucky XD.) whereas Yuki took home the Mot Improved in our age group(TOTALLY DESERVED IT.I'll settle for a close second).

It's hard to concentrate on what's happening and I found myself 2-5 down in the 1st set and I was like:"Great,you missed the whole thing.Wasn't much anyways,but still you missed it.Now that it's ended,no more worries,just move along..."

And so I did,winning the next 10 games to snatch the 1st set 7-5 and go 5-0 up in the second before he stopped the rot(ARGH!).Closed out the set and the match is mine :D

Well...Short one again because it's a busy time of the year.And if I'm not wrong your 'O' levels are almost done right?I HATE YOU ALL!!! XD kidding

You know how much I love you all

Georgie

"Finally........finally.......FINALLLLLYYYYY,THE TROPHY WILL COME BACK TO GEORGIE!!"

ROFL

Another short one today

Awards night will be held next thursday.Sad to say that I didn't win any prize.Nope,not even Aussie competitions(because I didn't join them.HOWEVER,I'm planning to make one last comeback.I wonder how did such a school like this ended up with so few high distinctions(ARGH,need more work on spelling...)....

A friend of mine,Phil,who's somewhat a cybergeek(yes people,cybergeek...doesn't mean I'm trying to be a hacker though.That would be cool XD)couldn't tolerate trash talk from some other student in study hall(we had a relief period.Teachers here are so OMG) that when period was over,he waited outside.As I passed by,I was like:"Don't do anything radical,Phil" "No,I won't" he replied.Oh well,I wasn't surprised when a fight broke out soon enough.I'd take Phil's side on this one,and another classmate,Mitch was kinda standing up form him.Well,whaddaya know,Fight Club 2...

I'm slightly in a better mood today because one of the students(or should I say retard...)that has been bugging me has been EXPELLED(shocking...)from the colledge.Reason:tripping a teacher.Oh well,I feel a little sorry,but I think that he derserves it since he's had a long history of mischiefs(and yes,he p*sses off teachers in class)

If you want to know about tennis,then the first line says it all.We're still undefeated,will go into tomorrow's match undefeated and a win guarantees the FIRST EVER UNDEFEATED TEAM IN NUDGEE'S HISTORY.Yep,histpry's the word.It's been quite a season,I bet no one saw the right hook coming...But oh well,I just hope that Brisbane State High(our opponents) have good players and would be willing to give us a run for our money(as long as they didn't take it...).The whole year has been plain boring,we rolled over most teams(Five clean sweeps,one 7-1 and one 6-2)so yeahh.Thinking of ending the 16A season in style,with an ace XD.

No books for now,assignments are trying to pin me down...As for music,I've just recently downloaded 2 songs.One of them is "Running Back" by Jessica Mauboy feat Flo Rida.as for the other one,here's the story:

2 weeks ago,we were watching MTV Billboard countdown during the last class of the week at that time No.6 was "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift,No.5 I forgot...No.4"Paparazzi"(ugh) by Lady Gaga,No.3 "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas.

And when No.2 came out,it was "Run This Town" by Jay-Z feat Rihanna and "Krazy"(XD) Kanye West.And so I was like:"Yessss,No.1 has gotta be "Good Girls Go Bad" :D.So getting hyped,Did I get it right?Nope....

When the songs came on,half the class left....XD

Well,that artist was Miley Cyrus with the song "Party In The USA"

Okay people,CURE ME XD

Short(maybe long) post..

Had a "spat" with James on Tuesday,plainly because something snapped.Regardless of who started it(due to my resentment,I gave him quick tactics in doubles in which he responded that I wasn't talking to him in tennis practice....),I've decided to avoid as much conflicts as possible(can't be helped when you have someone doing techno beats with the mouth which may seem awesome but gets really annoying...).

Well,I apologise for not being in detail today,it's just that I'm getting moody again.....Angry,depressed,sad and felt a bit high whenever I hang out with my usual groups in class(except Maths B, where I'm sitting just a seat away from you-know-who...).Music's the same thing.When I feel a little dark,I tend to hear the sad melodies.If I'm cheerful,then the dance songs often come to mind.But once in a while I still feel confused,and would listen to anything.....Oh,and dad left this morning..

I guess I'm still the same person as I am,or probably a shadow of my own self.Attempts to right the wrongs are futile.I tried to correct my bad habits(getting more forgetful...) and just ended up having more degrading comments thrown at me (mostly from mom).Oh well,I guess this is my life,and I'll have to live with it...

Urgh,I'm so messed up....like totally.I don't know what to do.It's not me to blend in and act like everything's normal.I don't get why I could have 2 different personalities.I feel so emo......There I go,spacing out again....

Anyways,assignments are ripping me up right now...There's bio which I'm testing for transpiration rates of different plants(ad I have to do it everyday for 2 weeks...),as well as English(Need to write a feature article so look out for me in Borneo Bulletin!!lolz I think I'll go for generation gap issues since I tend to be against the principles of the Generation Xers...) and Chemistry(Just tested anions and cations yesterday,wonder if they have something interesting because it involves testing on water and NOT testing for the elements....By the way,Water is our project,trying to find best way to desalinate it....How lame.....).

Oh well,so much more to say...I'll return with a post on Saturday,and I shall promise you that,even if it isn't my duty....Oh man,spaced out again...

P.S I heard you guys have 'O' levels right now.Just wanna say all the best to all of you,especially you......Somehow,now that I'm kinda low,I wanna look at your face in the picture again.......Great,THAT'S THE 3RD TIME I SPACED OUT!!ARGH!!

I walk the lonely road

2009-10-17T23:11:00.000+10:00

It's a matter of life and death.

Here I am,sitting in front of the computer and probably the last time I will ever post before I make my decision:To chase the dream or to stop and stare.

I have to admit,losing's never a nice thing.It's hard to let go when you knew you had it,and spectators don't help.Even if you're some successful athlete done with your career and commentating on the sport that you used to do,it still doesn't help.I mean,we have our own expectations,and when we couldn't meet it,there will be others telling you what went wrong when you're already beating yourself up.Ok,you're done beating yourself up,but the degrading continues.You're not capable of handling any more beatings,and so you prefer to lock yourself up in your room in the dark,reaching the state of thinking:"This is it......No more......What's next...."

That's how I felt today,Saturday,October 17th 2009.The day almost nothing went right..

I'm not gonna explain it in details because I've got to go to bed soon or I'll be having a 12 barrel shotgun pointed to my head(overexaggerating...).Simple:Dad's back today,my tennis was awful,and when it got better,it was against wayy better players.I lost top my partner for the 1st time today,and I was baked....

There has to be an end to winning and I'm not used to losing this badly(like,4 matches in a row?(O.O) But I look back at it and just tried to shrug it off as a really bad day in the courts,but on my way home,it was wayy worse than that.I was lumbering like a tortoise all the way,and when I got back.CRASSSHHHHH!!Nap time.....

I woke up 2 hours later to find dad shaking me.How nice =.= and if I'm not wrong,he slept for the whole afternoon.....And after that,things were normal,except for no reason whatsoever his face turned dark and began barking.Wow,those cigarettes really have an effect....

I'm still pretty fragile for now,but what I want you all to know is that I'm not really in the mood to do anything that cheers me up.I mean,dad thinks I'm picking the wrong friends(he keeps on thinking that I hang out with James,a Korean who's logic is worse than a 4 year old and isn't good enough to fool me with his acting and just keeps on asking absolutely silly questions[I mean,I'm considered "dumb and stupid" by mum(wait till she has him as the kid.She think's he's nice and NO HE AIN'T) but James takes 1st place in idiocracy wayy ahead of anyone].

It's really sickening to hear parents saying that they're know-it-alls(they can be true,but often they're misfiring and they think they aren't) and some tend to have that "Not me,all you" mentality (which can be correct depending on the situation.And then there's some that snap and blow up when mistakes are made(again,depending on the situation,it could be right or wrong).However,what I was surprised is that some will get frustrated at their kid's continuous persistency to ask or repeat when they themselves do the same thing and when we offsprings gave up on it,they'll pounce and point their fingers at you because they think it's your fault.

Well,the post isn't supposed to end like this,but unfortunately I have to go

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's f*cked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

Into the storm

Another week of Mapling,and what do you know?School's beginning to wreck me again....

Saturday's tennis was,in my opinion,A DISGRACE!!True,our 11A's team(I'm in it) still remained undefeated overall,but I lost in my doubles,and IT WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DAY!!ARGH....7-1 overall score,but I feel I kind of let the team down a little bit.How?I was neutralised with their doubles pair(No.1 pair vs No.2(me and partner) pair)and their No.1 player was clubbing every ball he had.Normally,that's our thing to do,but they got there 1st...*sigh*...Lost 5-7...What's even more pathetic was that he played SOOOOOO bad in his next 2 matches it kind of got me mad(I mean,he was open-standard in our match and a 10-year old the next...).No such problems for me or my peers,we went on rolling.

Year statistics:6-0(still only undefeated team in GPS Year 11 and THE ONLY undefeated team in Nudgee and MIGHT BE the first ever undefeated team to win grade premiership.Hope nothing stops us now....)
W-L overall=45-3
My W-L=16-2(Doubles=10-2 Singles 6-0)

As for the open team,no comment.....just mumbles in assembly by the Activity Director about them being "pipped"...Yeah,sure....When there's win there's trumpets,when there's a loss there's just murmurs......

Did you know the Backstreet Boys have a new album?It's titled "This Is Us" and yes,they're continuing with 4 members(Umm,A.J,Nick Carter....ARGH!!!Forgot the other 2....).I'm not sure whether I should listen to it or not,but expect some soulful crooning :D.Also,there's reports of MJ's song "This Is It" being plagarised.Oh my.......Taylor Swift's coming to Aus for concert next year Feb 5....Other artists:B.E.P and Green Day somewhere in December...

What am I reading?Not much,library doesn't interest me anymore.D-oh...

Once more,Chinese is becoming a pain,Tuesday,then Thursday,then Friday,then Thurs,and NOW FRIDAY!!ARGH!!MAKE UP YOUR FRIGGIN MIND!!!Well,partly my fault for scheduling clashes,but what about Mondays or Wednesdays?

Now before I go,I have 2 stories: One from my SF teacher and about english class..

SF moral:Aussie teens are ERGH!!!

He gave us a news clip which shows how bad parties can get here.It's not just the violence,but the sheer numbers.I mean,only a select few were invited,then how did it end up with hundreds attending the party??!!ERGH and schoolies,OMG so horrible......
He told a story about being the head of a boarding house and there was a party at the other side of the road which 6 of the boarders wanted to go.Teacher wants them to be back before 11pm....Sent them on their way,and went around to check at around 9.30pm.Hundreds of people at the party.1 hour later,even more that were uninvited.And soon enough,chaos broke loose.

And boy oh boy,did he really mean chaos.When he got the boarders out of the party(which they desperately wanted to),he went around the school grounds and found a whole lot of kids(or should I say teen couples?) doing *AHEM* here and there....And by morning,he found quite an amount of knickers,shorts and used c*ndoms lying around the grounds......Filthy.......

English:No,nothing perv,teacher gave us 3 articles to read,2 of them in particular I'm interested in.

Articles 1:The story of a suicide bomber and how he feels.
All I can say is this:Guy is so happy because he was accepted for a suicide mission which he has been applying for months.He's happy being a terrorist because in a certain book it says to strike terror into the enemies.And he even prays to you-know-who that he kills as many enemies as he can and hope not to hurt the innocent.

Now,is there anything wrong with that?Yes,yes,being the "insightful" person we are,we would say that this guy's insane,stupid,idiot,etc,etc.I agree,but nothing could be done to help him.I mean,it's what he wants.He thinks we're brainwashed and vice versa....Seriously,it's his own life,let him be(doesn't mean I'm supporting him,period.I don't think that it's right or wrong because it's not my decision to make).

Article 2:31 year old man married 70 year old grandmother

First reaction:SHOCKING!!Then I realised:If Hugh Hefner is married to Playboy models,why not vice versa?It's pretty mysterious why people react so negatively to men marrying older women....Ah well,love can't keep age apart,no?The pathetic thing is,other people in class were either disgusted or making a total fool of themselves.By disgusted,I mean that after they've read it,they go:"Ewww,that's so wrong" and by making a total fool of themselves, I mean that being the total man wh*res they are,they just imagined *AHEM* in this topic......

You know,sometimes I wonder if I'm actually one of the only few sane people here.The rest are either wannabe socialites,playboys,rich brats or sports freaks.I'm beginning to appreciate nerds now,being the hardworking students they are.Of course,I have some "rivalries" of my own (biology,maths B mainly) and I would say it's fun to have it because you can push each other to get better marks...

P.S.Maths B is SOOOOOO BORING(because I get the point and I finish without homeworks),BUT now that I'm learning a new topic(which you guys have learnt around 6 months ago),I feel a little more energetic.

But still,I lack the smile...

I think I'm starting to lose/my sense of humour
Everyday/so tense and gloomy
I could almost feel like I gotta check the temperature of the room/
Just as soon/as I walk in,it's like all eyes on me
And I try to avoid any eye contact,
Because if I do that,the it opens the door for conversation
Like I want that
I'm not looking for extra attention,I just wanna be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room.

Missing:A Soul

2009-10-07T21:52:00.000+10:00

Today's post is,in my opinion,gonna be slightly different from the rest.Nothing but school life....and it's horrors...

Monday,11pm,bed
I kind of had a little insomnia at that time,and someone a bolt struck me,hard.I realised that I was empty,devoid to feelings like love or sorrow(well,not sorrow...).I feel like a shell without its turtle....existing for no purpose known.

It shook me up,and I just lost everything.Energy,life,they were missing from me,and I did what I know I shouldn't have done:weep.

Yes,I know,I'm not supposed to cry about this(neither will.i.am,taboo or apl.de.ap sang "Big Boys Don't Cry",did they?)but I knew I have lost my emotions(don't ask why I felt really down about it) and love.I hate to admit this,but I felt nothing,no love for anyone(ANYONE).It's not intentional,it was simply there......

Like any desperate idiot,I attempted to regain that joyous feeling once more,and so I picked up a picture and stared hard and long at it.Failure greeted me,when I didn't want it to.I have lost something I wanted to cherish.

Now that my heart feels empty,I was lifeless,yet I ponder what will ever happen to me.....

Tuesday,reopening.

I was a zombie,a computer,programmed to perform daily routines without changes.The people all around me seemed either enthusisatic or moody.I was obviously out of place,yet I managed to get through the detectors without any problems...

Recess,library.
As usual,Abhi(friend) found me in the library,"scanning" a mag Nope,not Cleo,Cosmopolitan,Vogue or whatever you know....It's Top Gear,and with him,is his buddy who's somewhat at the opposite pole in terms of attitude.By that I mean.......

When Abhi left to attend to something,his buddy and I had a convo,a weird one....

(Him)"Would you have s*x just to get paid a million dollars?"
(Me)"No"
(Him)"10 million?"
(M):"No"
(H)"But what if the person's the hottest girl you've ever seen?"
(M)"No"
(H):"100 million?"
(M)"No"
(H)"1000 million?"
(M)[Thinks:Tempting,but I'm not that stupid...]"No"
(H)"That's like one billion,man.."
(M)"Exactly..."
(H)"10 billion?"
(M)"No"
(H)"100 billion?"
(M)"No"
(H)[Finally cracked]so you're like gonna be some kind of saint or something?
(M)"No"

You see people,you may call me a fool as the numbers get higher,but money doesn't faze me.Furthermore,I'd be considered a male wh*re that way.But that's not all.I'm not even interested in any girl no matter how "hot" she is,period.The one word that I was looking for is "love",and he didn't say that.BUT,even if he said that it was the girl I love,IT'S STILL NO(Figure why :D).

I went on,lifeless....

Today,Wednesday...
Still lifeless..but I could feel that there's a wall between the "me" now and the "true" me.....

Hole in my heart,
George

Okay,school's resuming tomorrow,life's gonna be back to normal.No "three week boredom and do nothing except Mapling and forgot about everything else",it's back to reality,and I think I've lost some feelings which I didn't really want to(good thing and a bad thing...)

Oh,GO AHEAD AND SING!!!Lemme provide you with the lyrics...

You've lost the looooovin feeeeeeeling....
Woooooh that looooving feeeeling...
You've lost that LOOOOVIN FEEEELING
And now,it's GONE,Gone,gone
Woahohohoh......(Ba-dum,ba-dum,ba-dum dum dum....)

LOLZ

Not really funny,ain't it?Well,I just don't know,but I felt I lost something......Ahhh yesss,I remember....MY WILSON TENNIS RACKET BAG!!Yep,it was wrecked.Already in a near rundown state,dad forced one of the three main zips to open and RIPPED it went.Long service award(4 years).But wilson bags don't match with Head rackets,do they?So then,because of my recent tournament performances,I've got a Head one,and IT'S FRIGGIN HUGE!!(Like,1.5 metres?I don't know,it went below my knees,which makes walking a LOT EASIER,not.......)

In books,I've just found out that VA book 4 topped the bestsellers list in fiction ahead of Twilight.My reaction:"YES!!TAKE THAT STEPHANIE MEYERS!!!" Finally,my favourite series at the top :D I didn't read the book till today at 2am (yes,true,and I finished it at 530 am when the sun was up and so I woke up at 1pm O.O)Here's the review

VA:Blood Promise (4.5/5 stars)

Summary:Rose goes off to Russia to find her former mentor and lover Dimitri Belikov and free him from the evil he had become(He had turned Strigoi,which means that he's neither living nor dead).Being away from the Academy,she meets new friends,encounters a strange "stalker" as well as confronting the man she used to love(and still does)

Verdict:To be honest,I don't hate Russia now that I've read this book (Thanks Richelle!!).I don't mean politics.The names sounds interesting[Women need to have an "a" added in the end.E.g Maria Sharapova while men don't such as Nikolay Davydenko(In his case,the women in his family would have a "va" added.Fitting :D)] and apparently I've picked up some Russian words( "buria" is not a funeral,it means "storm")("Strigoi" is actually a Romanian word for vampires).

Okay,I'm wondering if the same could be said for North Korea and Iran lol maybe Richelle can change my view too XD.I wonder how's the last book of VA gonna be like(5th one "Spirit Bound).Don't want to give you any spoilers hehe....

Now,I've realised how true animes can be sometimes...I mean,I just watched Skip Beat!And it's about showbiz and stuff.Sometimes the past was sacrificed in order to be stars,as shown in this anime,and I kind of think that it's somehow sadd(Oh,ain't I the emo one? XD).Yes there's the usual romance plot and lame gags(Chui Gann and Ah Tay,WATCH OUT!!By that I meant my watch battery's gone.....O.O") but I can't help it...I'm an ADDICT!!Okay,someone get me into rehab but I said "NO,no,NO!!"

Apologies for this incomplete post but I'm not feeling well these few days.I'll try to recover and write as much as I can.See ya!!

Ok,don't ask,but it's one of those super-duper-ultra-rare days that I'm so friggin happy I seriously could not bother to think of all the bad things AT ALL!!

Err if you're wondering why,you could talk to me over the MSN for the whole story(provided that I'm NOT Mapling) but I'll just give you a short summary and NOTHING MORE!!(YAYY!!)

Reason:An e-mail which I did not read until today(*sigh* what a fool I am) and opened it and read it and I "died" XD.By "died" I mean never been so happy in my entire 15 years and 7 months that my heart feels so light (and probably pounded open my chest and flew somewhere XD minus the blood,duh).In other words,my tormented soul could "rest in peace" and hopefully will recover from the deep scars :D

Ta-dahh!!!I'M REBORN!!!!Wait,I still have the same body,same hair(will get haircut tomorrow) and same looks,Dang.....

You drove me wild :D

I have to say I'm ABSOLUTELY SORRY(yes,I know caps don't really mean it...) for not posting these few days.Oh well,Dad's just left,I'm still gaming and my tennis tournaments are still on.Probably when school reopens everything will be back to normal.

Don't really wanna talk about tennis that much(because it bores you,in my opinion),but lets just say I've been pretty consistent :D....(if you wanna know,singles runner-up twice,doubles winner and semifinalist)

I'll just start by saying I'm reading VA again and I simply LOVE IT!!Just can't resist.Russian names:Oooohh.Genovian?Ahhh.American?Shocking.....

Nothing new in the music I have but I'm keeping an eye out for the latest stuff(Cobra Starship with "Good Girls Go Bad" raised my eyebrow) as well as watching my fav TV series(Secret Life,which keeps on twisting and turning and I'm just going emo while my mum shrugs it off and calls it corny,HMPH!!)

Is that all?I guess.Wait,I'm through to the quarters in my last holiday tourney and up against the 1st seed(Oh don't I always....)tomorrow.Just to let you all know that I am a little bit down at the moment and mood swings are quite visible(I'M NOT HAVING A PERIOD,MIND YOU.....).Still love the Eminem song "Beautiful".

Lately I've been hard to reach,I've been too long on my own....

Relapse

2009-09-22T05:57:00.000+10:00

I don't feel too good....

Here I am posting at 6am in the morning and my mum's gonna wake up anytime soon and it's not a good thing....

I can't really sleep because the room felt stuffy,so might as well drop by with another post from an unexpectedly silent month....

I've checked another tournament draw(I have 3 in 2 weeks,this one's the 2nd one) and I WAS NOT surprised to find my name in the top half.I mean,HOW MANY FRIGGIN TIMES DO I HAVE TO LOSE TO THE TOP SEED??!!Yes people,if I win my round of 16 match and it's a showdown,but there's a catch:I lost to that guy twice already this year.Third time's the charm?

Statistics:
Number of singles tournament joined:5
Number of times knocked out by a seeded player:3(one was a round robin which I finished 3rd and winners qualify only and I won one tournament)
Number of Times lost to the top seed:2
Seeding of the other loss:4

So tomorrow's d-day,and I'm kinda feeling a little bit down,trying not to think of anything else and trying to focus,but some things just kinda keep coming back and I guess I'll have to bear with it(Including the "I want it my way" dad)and think rationally.I mean,I've come to the age where I don't believe everything my folks say are right.Example in tennis,coach tells me to do this and do that,so I make my adjustments,then dad comes back and says it's not right,yatta yatta yatta.Oh puh-leeze,it's me who's playing here,and who sent me to coaching anyways.I wanted it,you wanted,and yet you tried to replace it with your mindset.What's this?A day-care centre?C'mon,don't come back and spenrd a week ruining my peace and leave for the next 3 and come back,repeating the same process over and over.It feels like you just forced us here and dumped us for your work.Nice,need a universal remote like "Click"?Fast forwarding to you promotion a year later?Then another 10?And found yourself CEO when you're having an extra flabby tongue?

Anyways its getting more dangerous by the minute.My current favourite in music is "Beautiful" by Eminem.Yes,there's the "traditional" swearing and once more I have to say that it's a change of pace from Slim,real sombre.... epecially the last few lines.

"To the rest of the world,God gave you a gift.Put in on,be yourself man,be proud of who you are.And no matter what happens,don't let anyone tell you that you ain't beautiful"

Reaching out for you,
George

Today was a sickening day....Believe me....I have certains dislikes....

Checked my tennis tourney draw today.Guess what:Seeded 2nd.O.O Darn it,no more being the dangerman anymore,now I'm probably among the favs.Since I have a bye on the 22nd of September I'll only start on the 23rd...

For today:English.Don't ask how I went in my drama.It was HORRIBLE.I don't act btw,it's either you're dreaming or there's something wrong with me haha.

Biology:Definitely the worst.Dissected pig's heart(OMG HELP ME!!).I know I eat pork,but I think it's a bit cruel dissecting something.....And also had a look at the sheep's organs.Lungs,trachea,tongue,liver,gall bladder all exposed.Stinks,like faeces.Almost vomited,but can't help feeling queasy.DON'T RIDICULE ME XD!!I "murdered" someone,and I have photos to prove it....ask me through Windows Messenger :D

Religion:Waqtched Top Gear!Yay!!Here's 3 cars suggested for 17 yr olds:Volvo wagon,Hyundai Coupe or a Golf.Impress girls by doing handbrake turn.NEVER SPEND ON STEREO(or you'll look like a goofball).Bugatti vs McLaren F1=Awesome!!Lamborgini Murceliago=Maaaaaaaaaaaa!!]

Geography:Watched House Of Flying Daggers.Zhang Zi Yi is awesome as usual.Acting's pretty ok.I hate DUBS.WHY NOT ORIGINAL LANGUAGE AND ENG SUBS!!Grrr,this is Australia.....So awful...

And as for chem:NOTHING!!YAY!!Found out my grades have gone up.Sweet!!

Hmm....I seem to forget something....ermm......Oh yeah!!Stole gloves(disposable ones) so now I can pick up Rose.Bet she'll be glad :D

See ya soon!Promise I'll post more often and in more detail instead of this lazy-method.

ONE WEEK WITHOUT POSTING ANHYTHING??!!Sorry guys XD it's just that I had to finish my darn assignments all in one so yeahh,I'll give a short post before I game on XP.

Tennis:Wipeout once more 8-0.I gave them the most games in a set (6-4) *sniff I'm always the worst Zzzzz even if I'm no.3 in the team.So far Open 1sts are losing but they look good to me.

More stuff:A friend a few days ago said to me :Rose is in the library!!.Replied:So?I see her everyday XD.

Books:Adrian Mole and the Weapons Of Mass Destruction (Book 6)(4/5)

He's got that Boom boom pow,and he's jacking his style XD.Don't really like image of men being playboys,but oh well.He still loves Pandore(20 unrequited love years!!LOL) and he's a father to 3 kids(Teenage dad,African dad and typical English dad)

I'll pick a cast for the movie(if there's any) in my next post

Main topic:Idiocracy.

If you're a homestay, lent a car to your friend, friend breaks it down(not a crash, but some malfunction), what would you do? Here's one from my oh-so-retarded(yes,and he's the one who sweet-talks and isn't really a nice guy):"Tell him to pay it back.It's his fault that he did it."

Wait,wait people,here's the catch:"The guy who's car was damaged said:"He's my friend, I forgive him for that"

Dumbo's reply:"If he's your friend,then he should be paying you,not you forgiving him.I mean,what kind of friend is that?You should tell him to pay you back."

And where was I?Trying to get a rest because I finished my work,but Mr.Nosey-Parker hadn't and is a blabbermouth.I was so fed up with him doing his techno-beat with his lips and thinking he's cool(so annoying,Eminem was right this time:Nobody listens to techno.JUST THIS TIME.Not sure of others)I felt like telling him to just sh*t up.Of course,he's gonna go back to sweet talk and be like:"Why?" Now as you know,I don't like that question because when he uses it,it's so stupid,as if he has no logic....

And somehow,this came out of his mouth:"Tell me who that guy is and I'll kill him.I was born and I will die.I was born to kill at least one person."

WHAT??!!I've had enough,turned,crossed my arms and frowned,just keeping quiet.I mean,it's not his matter,don't barge in and try to be some hero.That's the main reason I didn't vote for you as anything.You're just some immature brat who's brainwashed by being in this country so long.

And he noticed me:"Why are you so serious.You take everything seriously.Even in tennis practice.And look at him(car guy),he's so relaxed.You guys should be half and half you know."

Gee,he doesn't know me at all......I'm frowning because of his own words....and after hearing the "kill" thing,I began to wonder.....

And I took a survey:If you have 30 days to live,what would you do?(I'll make a poll of that next.Won't give you the answers of mr.Nosey Parker and some others....) And as you all know,I disagree with a LOT OF PEOPLE.

In my own opinion,I'd rather look into the situation before deciding.If the person who borrows my car was drunk or took it for a joyride,then fine,I'd probably have a talk.But Dumbo didn't know anything,he didn't look into it,how could he make such a decision??P.S. Dumbo,that's your flaw.And as for Killing a person before dying,NO!!I'd rather pass away peacefully,maybe tell my friends and family about it(dying in 30 days).I know it's kind of hard to do what I'm saying,but I hope I'll do the right thing if the time comes.

Funny bits:Another friend of mine(OH my,Canadian!!) had something that I might say that he has a point:I asked him the 30 days to live as a result of any disease and he was like:"Liver,as a result of alcohol.In those 30 days,might as well drink MORE ALCOHOL!!"

I don't like alcohol or cigs,but I think he really has a point XD,for now... LOL

Hatred in thy innocent eyes

2009-09-06T16:09:00.000+10:00

Saturday 5th of July
Woke up at 4am to catch 5.15 train.Dad tags along,spent the 40 minute journey finding toilet.Gets to toilet,and I spent my time waiting for the verdict on the Gold Coast.Cancelled and was p*ssed.JUST MY LUCK!!Played Maple.Had a character called "Rose",reached lvl 22 as of today....

Today 6th of July.Woke up and sighed at the US Open results.
-Women's draw:all my fav picks(Sharapova,Ivanovis,Stosur) went out early.Safina's gone as well.Somehow had a bad feeling one Williams will win.Hate every female players(except my picks and Melanie Oudin,who's my new favourite female player)because they squeal worse than pregnant women undergoing a 100kg-baby-in-womb-labour.No offence,but THEY DO.
-Men's draw:It's all about that Swiss guy again.Beats Hewitt.RODDICK OUT!!NOOO!!THANK YOU ISNER!!NOT.....Rafa's still in,haven't seen much of Murray and Djoko,probably they're creeping up.I'll pick Rafa before the Swiss guy,but I know who actually has a better chance.Other picks:Murray(cuz my idol says so),Tsonga and Verdasco.

Other than that I haven't seen Rose since I picked her up.Must do so soon.....

Now for the main topic:Gender

Nope,not about anything,but I read an article in which,I have to agree with it,shows the level of stupidity women have sometimes(I'll say the same for men later).I mean,Miranda Kerr posing *ahem* in the Rolling Stones mag(article said so),chained to a tree just for showing that she wants to save koalas?All beauty,no brains..and as most of you know,artists like Ciara flaunt their s*xuality on music videos,dancing perv moves and so on(Love,S*x and Magic)....Seriously,I thought famales were smarter than males,but I'll have to suppose it's only during school years.Beyond that,I'm not so sure.Of course,I don't really want to cause controversy or anything....

Now,men,stoopid on both school and beyond.Heck,r*ping aspiring models?Nuts.Kidnapped a girl for 18 years,impregnated twice,once at 14,and calling it the "most powerful story you'll ever hear"??!!Two words:ABSOLUTE CRAP.And that doesn't stop there.From what I heard,not saying hello to your homestay parents resulted in being kicked out of the house?I'm not gonna side with anyone on this one but it sounds like a pointless argument.I mean,no hello for once and outta the house?Begeezlelus....I'm wondering if its culture clash....

You know,now that I'm blurting out all these stuff,maybe I could become a CNN reporter.Whaddaya say?Wanna see me on TV? XD Kidding

This is George,reporting from HQ...

The Secret Diary Of....

2009-09-02T22:39:00.000+10:00

Monday,August 31st
-Rushing to finish geography today,managed to complete most of it.One of 4 out of 21who submitted in class.Boo-yah!!
-Crud,lots of work to in Chemistry and Bio.Too add salt to my already severe wounds,English had a monologue coming up at the same time,based on thatannoyingly boring book.JUST MY LUCK!!

-Went home and continued reading next Adrian Mole series entitled "The Growing Pains Of Adrian Mole".Not as funny but acceptable.Rating 4/5.Decided not to sue author due to fear of bad publicity.

Blood Promise

2009-08-29T23:36:00.000+10:00

So-so mood....

Today's a Saturday,and as you all know it's GPS once more.Went to Ipswich,blanked em and went back.More on that later....

What I'm thinking now is changing my e-mail password.Why?My mum's using it,and now she's pointing the finger at me for not checking mails.Look,your stuff isn't mine and SHOULDN'T be there.Don't blame me for not looking out for yours.You're supposed to have your own,not use mine as your "headquarter".Don't give an excuse for not creating because it's too complicated because YOU'RE JUST LAZY.Sure,I'm probably worse off than you are,and now you're whining that you can't create an e-mail because your stuffs in mine.PATHETIC.Lame excuses....And when I'm barely online for half an hour typing you arrogantly assume that I'm "chit-chatting"(which I would deny plainly because it's not the "correct" word which is chatting).Mind you,you're screwing my schedule up and I'm slowly lagging behind in assignments(which I had to make up for lost ground my sacrificing some of my recess and lunches),so don't expect me to wolf down the elephant-load of food you packed AND don't ask why.That question ticks me off because that's a dumb one-worded question that you should often keep it to yourself.

Gah,I'll probably just leave out all the rest,I'm done releasing my anger for now.Little by little's the way,and certainly not Pompeii-style...

Next,something lighter(and boring...).As I was saying,we won all our matches and actually had a pretty good,fun time with the guys from Ipwich.They're cool people,not much vulgarities were thrown at each other,it was actually a good feeling.And yessss,I went alone with the rest on the hour long bus trip to the "court wars",scorelines were pretty ok.And the "wo"man of the match is......ME.Gahh!!Everyone in the A team beat them 6-0 in singles except for poor young me who surrendered a game....I was the only one playing the singles on grass though(in the A's)....

Now there is actually a debate on whether the team was at the right formation.The truth is,for the past three weeks,I'm not playing as good as the whole team.I mean,I got the first loss(not in singles though),surrendered the only game in singles.Ken,the guy who's supervising the 16's,had doubts as well.Everyone in the team's probably asking the same question right now:How did I get No.3 instead of No.4?Of course,even I admit that I'm probably the worst player in the team.However,Ken did say that there's not much separating all of us(which made me feel a little better).As for the 1st IV?When we got on the bus home,I heard that they were trailing.....*sigh* Hope they win(because it's tennis) and silence the doubters.By that I mean the whole school community(doesn't mean I like NC).I mean,when they're losing,I couldn't see much sympathy or encouragement from others,mostly thoughts of :"They s*ck".Probably those people should step into their(1st IV)shoes,feel what is it like to lose narrowly twice in a row.If th played their best,too bad.If they're awful,it's just a bad day......

To end this post,I have to say that I've just got book 4 of VA just out on Monday.Was so friggin happy.Can't open book because hands aren't clean enough(paranoid XD).Must buy gloves for use of reading VA only(I've got all the books).Cost?12.95 each for Books 1-3 and 17.95 for book 4.Ouch,now that seriously burned a hole in my wallet(was thinking of buying headphones as well to watch anime)

Wait,wait....I just found out Shakira had a new album,and I have to say the single "She Wolf" isn't really good.I mean,it's definitely not her best(Hips Don't Lie in my opinion).Maybe hips could lie,but the numbers don't.....

Konbanwa!!

Resurrection

2009-08-26T18:27:00.000+10:00

Well,well,I guess you are all surprised by my 5 day break,no?

I'm pretty much REALLY busy now,because there's assignment after assignment.Here's the drama

Today:Chem draft due
Friday:Bio draft due
Next Monday:Geo draft due
September 3:Chem final copy
September 8:Bio final copy
September 10:Geo final copy
September 16:English monologue presentation

It doesn't look that much but I assure you,it's probably causing my headaches,so bad I ACTUALLY FORGOT TO SEND MY FRIEND'S MATHS FINAL COPY.Felt a bit guilty there,but was cleared when teacher was informed of the situation.Don't really feel like talking much about it because I SO wanna take a break from studying.Instead,I'll delight(and maybe horrify) you with plain ol' boring GPS tennis last saturday

Just to let you know,we were technically up against(what others reckon)one of the strongest schools in tennis for our round 2 encounter,and they certainly lived up to that hype.Our 1st IV once more lost by a narrow margin withn 3 wins to 5 losses,with their GPS season so far 0-2 and that apparently is becoming the LOW point of sporting activities.Ooooooooooh,lookie now,early in the season trumpeting all about rowing,rugby,cricket,swimming and now shying away from mentioning everything in tennis and basketball...

I'm not saying that the 1st IV are terrible(Their captain's pretty consistent,2 has a style of a professional,3(and a friend if mine) having EXTREME "Prince Of Tennis" spin XD and 4's kind of a Sam Querrey-type.Problem is they haven't really found their stride yet,and the first few rounds were kind of harsh(from what I heard,they're pretty tough) but I believe once they get the tennis ball rolling,they can't be stopped that easily.

Anyways,so how did the 16A's fare?Guess XD.We suffered heavy casualties in almost every age groups.From what I know,2 of our A teams were left unharmed so far.13A's(I expected the 14 A's to join in as well as I believe they're just as strong in their group as we are in 16's and I know twins fom the opposite side)and well,whaddaya know,16A'S!!Of course,we couldn't repeat last week's perfect scoreline(and I'll probably take the blame XD,you'll know why)but it was still a pretty solid 6w 2l.They had pretty good no.1 and 2 players but their no 3 and 4 kind of let them down.They had a 1-3,2-4 formation vs our 1-2,3-4 formation,so yeahh. ..Our losses came from my doubles match vs 1-3 and no.2's single loss.I lost because I was playing pretty bad that day,and probably relied on my partner too much to provide cover.He was once more on fire and I would have to say it's thanks to him that our pairing managed to pull through so far.No.2's singles loss wasn't because he wasn't good,but I kind of think it was the fitness level and concentration+the oppositions persistence and consistency.Man,5-7 sounds really close,and once No.1 was finished with his match(Battle of the hackers(consistency freaks)which he won in an enthralling 6-4 set)I said to my partner,who was No.4:"Is it ok if you go 1st,I mean,I just wanna rest for a while and hopefully get my rhythm back".Next thing was:Who's the No.3 player?

Great,DR ME OUT??!!Bet their no.3 was surprise that crap player came out.And "crap" was no more.Sure,he was one half of the doubles pairing that cost 16 A's 1st loss,but when it comes to singles,our team's just as good,if not better,in handling things by ourselves.4 wins 2 losses,just 1 more to clinch it.And boy did trying to force me into playing turn around my fortunes.I gave him the "Boom Boom Pow" and he went down 6-1 before my partner took out the other one 6-2.Next round,Ipswich(not the football club in English league..)!!Maaaaaaaaaa XD.

Of course,there's more,but I'll make it pronto.As the 2 A teams left,our names was mentioned,and I wasn't really too happy about it.I mean,I don't enjoy sports being too public when they're not the main focus(The 1st IV for example,are IMPORTANT).Honestly,I still prefer times when I could go about quietly without anyone asking me:"George,how'd you go last saturday?Did you win?"*sigh*.....

Yipes!!Book 4 of Vampire Academy is OUT!!Yayy!!Must...get.....to.....bookstore......ASAP!!Ciao!!

Apologies for boring post,
Georgie WongWong a.k.a "The WongWong"(That's what coach calls me XD)

Well,that's it XD.......NOT.I'm trying to think of whether to give a review of R & J because all I've read is actually the manga version.Oh well....

Romeo and Juliet(4.5/5)
Plot:Shakespeare knows....
Summary:Modernised,set in Japan,and best of all(in my opinion),IN MANGA!!I'm soft when it comes to anime stuff,and this one's not so bad really....Art was AWESOME,and Juliet reminded me of Enma Ai(a lively one too!!Maybe that's how she became Jigoku Shoujo) while Romeo's pretty cool.Lines were sapping,but I couldn't give it 5 because it wasn't the full thing and the names(or place)don't sound right.But I have to say,I LOVE IT and I'm planning to read the full thing somewhere in the future.

Alright,time for bed,my ears are sharp and I just picked up someone backstabbing me....I don't want that person coming tomorrow to UQ(where our match is held)and I'm getting a big headache.Till next time..

But now it's over,
George

Till I Collapse

2009-08-19T21:52:00.000+10:00

Right,no story about daily life for today,just a mysterious post which is about me probably needing some help and advice....

It all started when a classmate of mine noticed "my" W910i(using it as storage of files because it had memory stick) and had a hand on it.

Guess what I did:Snatched it back.

No,I wasn't angry or anything,I just had to recover what was "mine"(the B'day gift)and make a little modifications to it.I wouldn't want him to see my phone picture(nothing pervy,people,believe me).

I changed my mobile wallpaper to one which is the picture of,well,me,alone,face covered by black beanie(something like that,but I'm not kidnapped,mind you).He was like:"That's rude,George"(He wasn't angry,just kinda dissappointed XD)So I apologised.Well,disaster averted.

That's not the story,but it played a part of my "hauntings".You see,when I got on the bus home,I felt conflicted between wishes and reality.I was hallucinating,but without drugs or alcohol(I'll probably blame on the coffee I took a few months back XP).One moment I was imagining things and the next I just felt like knocking myself unconscious.It happened all the way till I got on the couch to watch my favourite show at 7.30pm.Whoever was that,I'm not mentioning,but I was plainly frustrated at myself.It has definitely inflicted damage on me and this one wasn't so bad,but the cracks I have are beginning to open.I don't know how long it will last.Somehow I don't want it to be permanent,yet don't want it erased from me.

So guys,probably that's it.I'm having another bout of depression now because of what's happening to me.It's kind of a random event,pulling me away from my own purpose and thinking about its.

Until the lights go out,until my legs give out,
George

On Top Of The World

2009-08-16T18:42:00.000+10:00

Post #56 of the world's angriest blog and it's streak is set to continue!!

Just a few things to update on
-Computer
-Assignments
-School
-Tennis
-Songs!!

First of all,dad got a new CPU in the house.I don't really know about the specs that much.All I could say is that it has 4GB of RAM as well as 1 tetrabyte of memory.Dad tells me not to install games,BUT WHAT'S 4GB THERE FOR??!!.Hehe,I have 2 things in mind.Wait,three...Need For Speed:Underground(yeah,I know,it's old),Maplestory(love the sound of jumping) andd DotA(I'm gonna be GOD-LIKE!!!MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD).

I'm currently very busy at the moment doing my maths assignment regarding the turtle race and I'm in a little of a rush.I'm ahead of deadline so yeah,but with Geo and chem at the same time,whoa.....

Now,here's an issue:In english class,our teacher asked about bullying,why did it occur,whose fault was it and what should be done.Now,if I'm not wrong,I'd suppose most of you would say that it was the bully's fault,and I would say the majority of the time it would be him/her(yes,girls might sometimes,HONEST).But here's the shock you've all don't want to wait for:One person(and I personally despise him for thinking I'm immature in his terms)mentioned that it was the victim's fault and he(the victim) should "man up" a little bit.And even worse,a couple of other students agreed.

The teacher was dumbstruck...and seriously,that was by far one of the most inhuman answer one could say."Man up"?Dude,like teacher responded:Step into their shoes.He didn't reply back,but I won't be surprised if he stood by his unintelligent words....He really made me feel like beating him up(which I probably wouldn't dare)(he has the height,age and weight advantage while I have a tennis racket XD)and I would definitely snap at him if he ever comes close to infuriating(wrong spelling,I know...)me...

Now,stepping aside from those morons,our GPS season has started and our 16As team (consisting of 3 normal 16 year olds with a 15 year old clueless person with no idea how he got in)scored a "perfect" 8 out of 8 in our matches,dropping no more than 2 games in each set.Here's the scorelines

Singles:A1 w 6-1
A2 W 6-2
A3 W 6-1
A4 W 6-1
Doubles:A1 & A2 W 6-2 and 6-1(there was 2 matches,same goes for next group)
A3 & A4 W 6-2 and 6-1

Opposition wasn't too hard,not too troublesome enough ( I have problems with people who play REALLY slow balls) but had the right ball speed for us to hack our way through.I GOT ACED(and I aced back the next game).Dam*!!I stumbled,was surpised and yeah,the ball spun away from me XD.Felt a bit embarassed.He probably is the Shane Warne of tennis LOL.Luckily my partner showed me how and smacked a winner,and I gave a faster one the next point XD.My serve wasn't that bad,pretty much had an above average day in tehat department,an ace and a double fault in 3 matches by my standards is pretty unusual(no aces and avg of less than 5 df per match).My groundstrokes were horrible(Not much unforced errors,but less than 5 winners in 3 matches is awful...) but were replaced by volleys(Love smashing the ball so much I made one bounce over the 10 foot fence at the back of the court and landed on a roof).So yeahh,next week there's gonna be another one,so I hope I wouldn't get much nerves and just relax a little bit.

In the music department,in "Star Wars" terms,I'm going to the "dark side" XP.Didn't know Eminem had so many good songs,among them the funny "We Made You","The Real Slim Shady" and "Without Me"(mocking Elvis,Britney twice,Batman and Robin,Jessica Alba and Simpson,Star Trek,Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson and a whole lotta others once.Wait wait....EVEN SARAH PALIN!!!),to the angry "Insane","Cleaning Out My Closet" and the memorable "Stan"(feat Dido).I kind of like Dido's voice,pretty soothing."Stan"'s a pretty sad song,talks about a fan who's crazy about Eminem and writes to Slim Shady(Eminem) without receiving a reply(cuz Slim's busy) and in the end dies crashing the car into the river,being drunk and having his girlfriend in the trunk.Sick....

But yeah,swear words aren't really my thing,it's just how Eminem talks about real life that intrigues me sometimes.But yeah,he's in the top 4 most number of songs on my mobile(along with Taylor Swift,Boys Like Girls and Nickleback).

Anyways,7.47pm now,time to go finish my work.See ya!!

My Life In Ruins

2009-08-14T19:46:00.001+10:00

Yep,you guessed it correctly,I borrowed the title from the movie...and no,I'm not on a holiday in Greece,looking for Nia Vardalos...

Anyways we went on a geography field trip today to visit the areas under the Urban Renewal Program.Of course,it wasn't some random trip to Dreamworld or the Gold Coast,for me it was business as usual,casually strolling arnd searching for my answers and keep my itchy fingers happy by clicking on the camera button.We visited some heritage-listed sites as well as the suburbs,investigating the changes,the effects and what improvements need to be made.The cost:No school,yesssss(and no..).

Tennis was called off today due to girl schools having their GPS(whut??!!)on our courts.Great,gives me extra reason to hate females XD kidding.Our GPS starts tomorrow and I ALMOST missed out due to not having a "Nudgee"(crud) shirt.Fotunately I called up coach and he says house shirt is fine.I mean,awww come on....can't I wear my lucky Red House? XD

Dad came back yesterday(surprisingly)and the first thing he did was shoo me out earlier than my intended time to leave(I time the bus to near perfection.Of course,as you all know I had the "Just missed the bus" curse ,and it's still with me XP) and now he's "disrupting" my schedule to finish my assignments.I mean,can't I just stay while you and mum go out?You've got pretty bad timing on this one,and the only good thing would be not interrupting my TV day XD(he's leaving on tuesday and TV day's on Wednesday)

Now,for a short review and to the main story(don't eat before reading,trust me :D)

Lord Of The Flies (2.5/5 stars)(depending on whether you like absurdity or not)
Simple:Boys are only survivors,adults dead in plane crash,so they have to live by themselves on a deserted island.All was good at first,until fear overcomes them...
The flaws:No adults?Unbelievable,yet possible.No girls?Unbelievable,yet possible but SOO not.Ok,probably they're all boys school,but that many different ones?From what teacher said,they were on a trip fromJapan(it was during the war) when the plane got shot over the Pacific.On a trip?Unbelievable,yet possible...So yeahh,it depends.This writer I have to say is the best so far in planting a pretzel in my head.It can be fictional yet real.
Verdict:No a 0,nor a 5.so 2.5's fair XD

Lord Loss(3.5/5 stars)
Darren Shan returns!!I'm a bit slow on this series but I can say this:For people who don't really apprecate long,juicy lines,tis one's for you.Short,simple and bloodthirstily sweet.Especialy like the chess game.No wonder people who joke around usually wins.Hmmm,I wonder if that was the reason I beat WJ xD

Right,time for the main story,and if you followed my advice,you wouldn't need to worry about vomiting.

Here's the scenario

[Library]
Received text message:Where are you?
(Thinking it was my parents,but somehow it wasn't their number)
Reply:In the library,what's the matter?
So I fnd out it was one of my buddies and I went towards the fiction sector.Soon enough,he came.
Buddy:Can I ask you a question?
Me:What is it?
Buddy:Are you g*y?
Me:WHAT??!!
Buddy:Look,whenever you hear the word ***,you stay as far away from the person as possible and you're clean,you've got no girlfriends,so I suppose you're g*y
Me:(=.=)That's my nature.and no,I'm not g*y.I understand the facts that led you to that conclusion though.....
Buddy:So you're got no girlfriends,and you intend to stay that way for the rest of your life?I mean,staying single forever?
Me:In my current mindset,yes......
Buddy:Whatever....George got a girlfriend!!
(D-oh...)

Ok,my personal life WILL NOT be revealed,but I assure you,dating is not my thing and I don't really find any girls attractive(awww,sorry XD).Got a problem with that?I hope not XD I seriously hope this absurd rumour doesn't spread around.....if it did,my oh my.....what next....Geez,you people can go out,treat girls like tools,pretend to care for them all you want.Me being single,I think,is the best thing for me so far,so mind you,leave my personal matters alone and mind your own....

Funny,huh?G*y?LOL.

ROTF
Georgie

I'm sorry,but you're not speaking English(I don't think I am in this post as well...)

2009-08-10T22:02:00.000+10:00

Silly title,I know,unfortunately people,this is one post describing how much I despise some people here as well as disagreeing with other people's point of view.

Well,honestly I'm forgetting what I'm supposed to say....umm I'll just start with chemistry.We did our test on wine today,and it involves comparing amount of sugar levels on a bottle of Yellowtail(brand name) and some cheap wine.We also need to test with water as a "control" or something like that.Here's the procedure(A VERY LONG ONE.Probably good for general knowledge)

Rebelein Soultion Z1
Add 1.0ml of concentrated sulphuric acid to 600ml of distilled water and mix thoroughly.Weigh 41.92g accurately of copper sulphate pentahydrate CuSO4.5H2O.Dissolve copper sulphate in the acid solution,transfer it to a 1L flask and dilute to volume with distilled water.Mix well

Wow,sounds complicated,thankfully,we don't need to waste too much times to do it as the teachers prepared it for our group(awwwww...).5 more!!

Rebelein Solution Z2
Dissolve 250g of sodium potassium tartrate in about 600ml distilled water.Add 80g of NaOH(Caution:Heat generated!!!)[Awesome XD Must try this at home LOL].Allow it to cool,transfer it to a 1L flask and make to volume with distilled water.Mix well.

Rebelein Solution Z3
Add 100ml of 1M NaOH(Dang,they're trying to kill us...) to 600ml of water and mix.Weigh 300g of potassium iodide.Dissolve it in a portion of the base solution,and transfer to a 1L flask.Same thing from here onwards...

Rebelein Solution Z4(If you're bored,scroll down because there's Z5 and 6 left)
Add 175 ml of concentrated sulphuic acid to around 825ml of cold distilled water.(Caution!Heat evolved)[Sweet XD].Mix well and allow it to cool.

Rebelein Soultion Z5
20g of potassium iodide and 10g starch in separate beakers.Add 10l of 1M NaOH to 500ml of distilled water and mix well.Use the resulting solution to dissolve both potassium iodide and starch in separate beakers.Transfer both to a 1L volumetric flask.Dilute to volume with water and mix well.

Rebelein Solution Z6(I'm getting dizzy,is it Ribena?I'm thristy XD)
Weigh 13.78g of sodium thiosulphate Na2S2O3.5H2O and dissolve in distilled water.Transfer to 1L flask and add 50ml of 1M NaOH.Dilute to volume and mix well.

Phew,long ones XD.Here's the procedure(shortened)
-Pipette 10ml Z1 and 5ml Z2 into Erlenmeyer flask
-Pipette 2ml wine sample(in another one,use water as ragent blank)
-Heat until boiling and allow it to do so for 30 seconds.Remove flask and allow to cool to room temp
-Add 10ml each of Z3-Z5 in order
-Fill burette with Z6
-Record initial reading
-Titrate the mixture in flask,shaking it well to mix
-Endpoint is cream.Solution will fade from yellowish-brown to blue-grey to cream
-Record final reading
-In water,blank titre should be in the range of 29-31ml,wine will be less
-Calculate reducing sugar content using the formule below:
Dilution factor x Blank titre - Sample titre

Well,that's all!For the chem XD

Now,here's a short one.Got a call from dad on his birthday and he was like:"How's tennis going?You must kill the opponent,no mercy.Just get in there and kill."

Ok,here comes the typical me(didn't actually say this to him,but if I were to do so,it would be these words.Didin't bother to listen any more after his words because they're plain annoying)

"Why are you so obsessed with the word kill anyway??!!It's such a disgusting word.Can't you just use "beat" or "defeat"(which I still consider overboard).If you want your own words to be used,here:I "killed" you for many consecutive occasions and you never played me for 3-4 years until now.Everytime I was "killing" you(meaning I was 4-1 up),you just conceded.How cowardly....."

Extra harsh.But that's not the point.The point is I believe sportsmanship comes first before the game.I mean,seriously,"kill"?Dad,the reason you failed is because you're lacking sportmanship.And I probably lack a lot of that as well.HOWEVER,an opponent should be respected,no matter how good or bad they are.Of course,sometimes the rules of the games are changed due to personal feuds,but on other occasions it should be taken moderately,not too light,not too serious.

If you(not the readers) haven't noticed yet,take a look at the following tennis players:Federer,Nadal,Hewitt,Laver,Sampras,Becker,Agassi,EVEN McEnroe(he had to have it somewhere in his career,otherwise he wouldn't be in the commentary box),all the legends,all the players(mainly successful ones),they HAVE sportsmanship.That's what makes them a better player.Look at the press conferences,do they lampoon(right word?)their foes and do some trash talk?So far in my life,I haven't seen any.It's generally assessing their performances,praising their opponents and showing respect to their next matchup.It's not some madman trying to hypnotize them into "machines",they just know about it.They train hard simply because they enjoy the game,and retire when they don't feel the love for it or got too old.Even after that they can't stay out of the game completely.One way or another they'll be in touch with it.

What makes you win isn't how good you play,it's how much you love it,not the desire to win,but the joy of just getting on court in a tournament,holding a racket and playing a match without really caring about the things going on around you.I haven't really reach that way yet,I don't know why.I don't want to point the finger on anyone,but I think it's time I should tell my parents to back off a little bit,give me some space to breathe in and not telling me anything and just let me go about on my own on court.As far as I'm concerned,I don't like courtside coaching and you're not the one playing.

This saturday's the first GPS match at home against some school from Toowoomba.My back isn't ecovering as fast as I wanted it to be.Oh well,might as well play on for 5 days straight culminating on saturday.Ain't no harm in playing that much right?I mean,I did 11 days straight,why can't I go for more?

O.O Getting late,tomorrow's day 1 of 5 day marathon tennis for me.Gotta sleep.Lots of love to everyone and good luck in your trials.

Love you all always
Georgie

Broken Man

2009-08-08T18:13:00.000+10:00

Right-o,first up,I would like to wish a Happy 46th birthday to daddy dearest.Here's my message:YOU'RE OLD,YOU'RE BALDING,AND SWALLOW THAT.DON'T YOU DARE PLUCK MY HAIR AND PLANT THEM ON YOUR SCALP OR YOU'LL FIND A NEW RULE IN THE HOUSE CALLED "I SEE SMOKE,I THROW EM ALL".BEST IF YOU STOP WITHOUT ME SAYING.

Oww,harsh,XD

Anyways,I'm currently in a bad condition at the moment.I hurt my back went attempting to retrieve a lob.Courts have fences,and fences need steel poles as supports,and you probably know where I landed.One big thud and I was down on my knees.I was kind of disappointed in myself after that moment.I feel I let myself down,my partner down,it's so pathetic....Honestly,we both could have beaten them easy but instead we got thrashed.Excuses?Yeah,my back and my partner's shoulder.We're walking wounded,they're fit and experienced.Blah,I'll get him back next time,in a fair match of course.....

This is going to be a rare short post,because there isn't much.I suppose you guys are gonna be soo happy you don't need to scroll down that much eh?

NOT.I'LL TRY MY BEST TO IRRITATE YOU XD.

Now,school matters.Immature people are annoying me,and REALY immature people(by that I mean younger than me) disgust me.Reason?They talk of girls as if they're tools.C'mon guys,where'd the gentlemen manners go?Can't you guys at least put clubbing life aside for a while?It's school here,and there ain't no girls around campus.If you want to bring your beau or whatever you call them,just protest about this school being all-boys,go to public schools or just shut up.There,3 options for you imbeciles....

Racism isn't really that visible,or should I say adults don't really get the full meaning.....I mean,people here are so cunning,they make sentences look like they're harmless,yet if you analyse the words used closely,it's a massive insult.

And plus,cheering practice every Friday lunch??!!Well,not "every" but at least 85-90%.Puh-leeze,you can call me lazy for giving out this reason,but I'm standing by my words:It's lunch,some people are starving,those who want to go can go,those who don't,just leave em alone.Might as well take out a class period just for it.Don't leave people either weakened or choking over their food.Doesn't mean that you're showing your so called "Nudgee spirit" by attending some cheering practice.

Besides that,don't forget those who DON'T know what were the words of cheering.Don't force them onto it.What do you think you're doing?A good deed to the school or just embarassing them?I sure hope it's not the latter,because if homo sapiens here were wise enough,you'd be in trouble.Consider yourself lucky born in an island....

More on people who just don't grow up(or call me the one who doesn't).I was reading a graphic novel(not manga,sniff...) because I sometimes prefer it over words(but don't mind both).And I was attending geo class,and one of my classmates from China was speaking in Chinese:(translation)"George,you're reading manga(man-hua in Mandarin)?OMG,how old are you?".

Boy oh boy,I almost blew up.He's lucky I'm really focused on reading(another proof boys can't multitask...must....prove.....scientists.....WRONG!!XD).If I wasn't,I'd just slam the novel shut,turn around and,if possible,speak in Chinese:(more translations)"Wow,that's something,coming from some slacker like you who doesn't even bother to really try hard(worse than I am,honest,and I thought I was bad enough..)on any subject,is a total disgrace to your motherland due to your actions(bet he was sent here because of this) AND reading wise,you can't even stand a 200 page,pictureless book.All you did when you wanted a look was flip the pages,sighed and say you can't read it and how could I.So if you EVER see me holding something that you think is childish,either admit you're a moron first before commenting(which I don't recommend at all because you're probably more illiterate than I am) or JUST ZIP YOUR MOUTH.

Anyways,enough "whining".I just realised how dearly I missed anime,and how much I have to catch up!!Here's a list of what I'm going to watch

-Girl who's a close friend of a boy who doens't want to take over his family's possessions and instead becoma a famous popstar.(Someone's pm used to have this anime title name)

-Bleach(Rrrrrruuuuuuukkkkiiiiiiaaaaa!!!!)

-Naruto(Missing it)

-Hayate No Gotoku 2nd Season(Gonna imitate more animes than ever!! There's gonna be *bleep*,*bleep,*Bleep bleep bleep bleep*,*bleep* and more!)

-Zero No Tsukaima(Louise,stop being so short tempered!!)

-Lots more XD

Well,that's all for now.I'll probably give you the anime title for the 1st one next week.Till then,I'll be hoping I recover in time for tennis season which starts next week as well as finishing my assignments.

Ciao!

Reminiscense

2009-08-05T22:41:00.000+10:00

Back after 3 days!!Just finished watching my favourite TV show,and I had to admit,I was a little disappointed with the word count(not explaining XD).But anyways,short post today,because it's late and I've got morning training tomorrow.

Tody's mainly school stuff.I just submitted mY maths draft today and avoided detention(clean record intact.YESSSSSS XD).It's a about some turtle race which the turtles so happens to have a path that can be expressed in equations(impossible,no?).We need to do graphs,calculations,margins and a commentary....my draft did made the teacher giggle a couple of times(thanks to the stooooopid commentary I made up that sound like a horse race) but yeah,2 more weeks till final copy is to be submitted.Gonna take my time.Like one of my MSN contacts said:"Procrastination baby!!" XD

Chem isn't really going too well(due to assignment).Now I'm in agroup of 3 and we're deciding what wine to buy(yes,buy...wonder how are we gonna do that).Chances are we'll pick white because it's cheaper.We're gonna do a hypothesis on SO2 levels in normal,warm and cold temperatures.Procedure?Lazy to write,but I suppose you guys get the equation :D plain simple...

And here's the last one.I was with my buddy at the library and I was using the memory stick from the mobile to connect with the USB.He picked up the phone and was like:"Is this your girlfriend?"

*gasp* WHATT??!!Here it goes again....convo as follows
"No it's not..."
"George's got a girlfriend!George's got a girlfriend!!"
"Hellooo,how many people were in that picture??!!It's like one big family..."
(Repeats same thing again)
(While I frown XD)"Just stop talking" (substituted for 2 words,6 letters)
(If I didn't count wrongly,he said the same thing for like 7 times)

Now,tht's not the complete story.I should have told him one of my past experiences and maybe he'll understand what I could do XD.I suppose you guye remember right?It was Primary 5,and I was you-know-what-I-was XD.Anyways,I'll just tell the classic tale:

I was doing nothing,waiting for the 7.15 bell and it so happens I was at the notice boards(you know,the primary block?the front..)watching several of my old friends sweeping(don't worry,not any of you XD).And I was talking to one girl who was on her way to class(don't ask who,I don't remember...)and suddenly after the conversation ended,on of my friends said(you know what he said...).I ignored it at first,but somehow old me snapped,turned around and gave him a good,hard,swift kick to his groin(ouch!!).Ended up at the Principal's office during recess and was face to face with none other than the Madonna-copycat Mr.Wu XD(Does he still sing?If he does,I'll do Britney LOL).It wasn't completely my fault,but I had to apologise and so did the victim(yay!).

Well,that's history.Should have told my friend today about that XD.Now that I remember it,it was really silly of me XD.Oh well,time changed me,and I made sure it didn't happen today XD.Anyways,gotta go.I'm feeling good for tomorrow.And as for the picture on my mobile,la-lala-lala...

Ta-ta!!(Sumo XD)
George

Capture it,or just let it slip....

2009-08-02T18:53:00.000+10:00

Guys,sorry for this announcement:I'm seriously fatigued,and might reduce the number of posts to around 7 a month....just need time to recuperate..

My tennis hasn't been good lately.I wasn't playing that bad,just good and solid,but somehow I felt flat.3 losses in a row(starting with yesterday which I had a partner who was levels below division standard and today getting screwed by an awesome player before going down immediately to one of my training buddies who's actually better than me..).It's not really a good sign for me considering the School tennis season's starting next week(I'm playing 16 A's,another handicap for me,but willing to go head on with the big boys).

I've been rather slack on schoolwork lately.Not that I'm not doing my homework or anything,I just feel like not studying at all....And I'm missing my chinese classes due to scheduling problems(had tennis lessons on thurs and fri,chinese was on fri,so I change fri to tues.Then the week after it was thurs,now changing thurs to fri.Someone's ticking me off here...).

Even worse,I MISSED MY PRESENTATION OF MY BRONZE AWARD(for my academy achievements),AND I WAS SITTING IN THE ASSEMBLY!!!Just didn't know the date...let's pretend I didn't know anything :D.

To music,and I'm liking country at the moment(Taylor Swift count?).Couple of songs I'd like to recommend are "Sideways" by Dierks Bentley and *gasp* "Kiss A Girl" by Keith Urban.Also don't forget my current favourite rock band Boys Like Girls with songs such as "Five Minutes To Midnight","Love Drunk" and "On Top Of The World".

Andddd,like almost every other post,books...HIGHLY RECOMMEND ths book here:

"Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks(4 1/2 or 5 stars)

Summary:Bad boy turns good,decides to join army,finds girl on leave,fell in love,and everything changed after 9/11.Love began to fade,while on duty in Iraq,girl writes to him(they've been exchanging letters since he left after the 1st meeting) telling him she loves someone else,and ta-dah.....(That's up to the 1st half,won't reveal any more)

What I really like about it is that IT'S NOT AUSTRALIAN(honestly,can't find any really good writers...).Kidding.I'm a s*cker for romance,and this one takes the cake.I was sighing often in the 1st half of the book and suddenly found myself crying really hard and struggling to contemplate the fact that I'm finishing it.I don't really know why I cried(thank goodness no one saw me do so...).Could it be.........

GAHH!!What was I saying!!Ok,I cried,boys don't really cry,and I'M AN IDIOT!!I admit it,and I feel a lot better now.. XD

Anyways,end of post.I'll try to write as much as I can(if my health permits..)

Here's to you:
I keep dreaming you'll be with me,and I'll never let you go
(Serious,I did dream of a few of you.Reunion?:D)

I'm slowwwwwiiinnnnnggggggg ddddddooooooooowwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn.It's almost the end of the month,my 10th post for July(Mathematically,1 post every 3 days,2 hours and 24 minutes)and aparently I'm a wreck.Here's why :D

-Assignments(chem and Maths.Sooo getting annoyed now)
-Tennis(Gotta play more trials again...)
-Books(Found something worth crying about.Wait,I SPILLED IT!!=.=)
-Athletics Carnival(Forget I was even there....)
-TV Shows(Getting better...)

So then,what's the problem?I don't want to drink.Unfortunately,my chem assignment requires me to do so.Of course,if I'm James Bond,I woudn't mind 5 glasses of it or offer to a woman without asking her what she really wants,but I'm not.Smells nauseous(had a headache),potentially tastes like good-quality rubbish and has a chance of landing me at the wrong side of the law.Schhl just got better......As for Maths B,some assignment regarding a(get this)turtle race,where the distance the turtles travel(as well as direction)is determined by equations(Linear,quad,cube,logarithm?).We're gonna be required to give a distance-time graoh as well as commentaries and assumptions?COMMENTARIES??!!Annnnnnndddddd the rrraaaaccccceeee iiiisssss GOO!!STEADY START FROM LINUS LAD!!LOOK AT THE OTHER 3 GO!!RUBIXCUBE IS FLLLLYYYIIINNNNGGG!!SO'S BLOA HATTRICK!!AND SLEEPLYKALOG!!Wait,WHERE'
S IT GOING??OI!!GET YOUR HANDS OFF!!

Enough said,now to tennis.After my flying start,I was sent crashing down.Hard.The guy beat me in the 2nd set 4-6 so I'm technically out of the 1st IV trials.Oh well,honestly I didn't expect myself to be so close to it,yet went out feeling disappointed.I had him,and he ren aay grinning with the tail between his legs.I 'm not gonna put the blame on anyone though(of course,no one doesn't..),but I can't stand chattering,especially when someone's just bothered by little stuff such as the way "error" is pronounciated by different nations.Sorry,just felt like taking it out.

Atheltics Carnival today?I know you didn't ask....let's just say I tried to be a spectator,failed(was forced) and was utterly bored.Never really saw anything that disorganised....Honest,Grade 11 here,10 there,9 there......Who's who?In the end,our house finished 7th,but I don't really mind.After all,there's all the finger poining at who's cheat and who's playing foul,blah blah.They probably should learn from CHMS,who's joining,who's in(of course,I do recall some are forced XD).

I've just did my 1st shopping alone today XD(Boys?SHOPPING??!!OK people,act like the scene of "The Princess Diaries" and just tell me to "SHUT...UP!!!" :D).Book shopping to be precise.And what did I pick off the shelves?The Vampire Academy Series as well as some Men vs Women book that makes no sense but I'm in for the fun of reading it XD.Anyways,3 new victims from the library were recently read and here are the reviews(Note:I have 1 recommended book here that's a must read.No supernatural stuff just to let you all know :D)

1)Goosebumps:Deep Trouble(3 stars) and Goosebumps Horrorland:Creep From The Deep(3 1/2 stars)
Summary:-2 siblings spend their vacation with their uncle and soon sent to chase after a mermaid.
-The trio return to the seas in search of a pirat's treasure.Arrr.....

R.L. Stine's getting boring now,plainly because 8 is the new 12 and 15 is the new 24 XD.By the time some other spinoff Goosebump series comes up,toddlers' will be the majority of readers.Needs to stop spooking around....

O.O where did the 3rd one go?It's special enough to be in a separate post.Hope to get a picture of it :D.Title's "Dear John" and is written by Nicholas Sparks

Not much on TV once more,except wrestling(Can't see me :D) and my new favourite show..

Secret Life Of The American Teenager Episode 2(4 stars)
Summary:Wiki for details
One thing I enjoyed about this series is because its sometimes true,and funny,and saddddd.Kind of like the setting where Ben calls Amy and tells her he loves her,after ONLY ONE DATE.Ha-ha....awwwwwwwww...And no.of times "***" was said in the episode:16 XD LOL it's fun to count....

Anyways,posts's up and I'm gonna read "Battle Of The Sexes"(The dumb book I was talking about..."and start rolling my eyes like a pool break...

Secret Life

2009-07-25T21:12:00.000+10:00

Back again!!Just to let you all know,I haven't been on the comp for 2 days due to (yes)extreme exhaustion(more on that later).I'll list down what I wanna talk about before moving on(so I wouldn't forget.And average adult forgets 3 facts,chores or events of the day.Men are more likely to do so than women,due to hectic schedules or heavy workloads.)

-Funny or weird stuff(Skin colour?School uniform?)
-Tennis(as always :D) and my shirts of pride(Don't ewwwwww....)
-Whining....
-Books and TV(Reviews!!)
-The end

Okayyy,first off with moments of the week.I was outside the library(waiting for my geo class.Don't wanna walk there after the bell rings..)and apparently there was a list(BLACKLIST!!LOL)of people who got some award(Did I tal about this before?).Basically there's gold,silver and bronze(Gold for 5 subs with As,Silver for 4 and Bronze for 3) for grades 10-12(don't expect my name to be there,I'm not studying hard enough).Curious George went to have a look and saw his PC buddy(not the idiotic one,but a 1st XV Rugby player)getting a silver.As I went down the list,I found this person,don't wanna name him,but matches with "Curious" with a bronze.BRONZE??!!Obviously it might look like a disappointment but hey,I don't think it's that bad.3A's,2B's and 2C's(Not failure in chinese :D),I know where I am now and where I hope to be(which is silver by the end of this year and gold by the next).Of course,I don't wanna tell my parents because they're probably gonna make a big fuss over it.....

Oh,what weres the A's,B's and C's?Chem and S.O.R were C's(I know,horrible....),Geography and English were B's(Seriously,geo a B?And only 1 person got A...),Bio,Maths B and Chinese got A's(EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT PEOPLE!!XD haha kidding.Chinese was a fluke,believe me.Did it without dictionary and technology which others use to their advantage due to "translating to english" problems)

Now that wasn't really funny.There was a guy,oriental in complexion,but his accent is somehow not(Let's presume he was born in Neanderthalia here...).And he was looking at the list(there's 2,side by side and he's looking at the other one).I think he was looking for gold medallists and suddenly he was like:"OH MY GOD!!AN ASIAN!!"My Chemistry classmate shook his head..

Now everyone,should I buy a mirror for him?He's a case of alienation at its worst.Has he ever looked at himself,I don't think so,and I sure don't wanna be him.And before I could get the mirror,can someone get me a baseball bat?

Next up,my early morning blues(I'm unhappily wearing one....)I was catching the 5.15 train on my way to a station that's a 40 minute walk away from school and one girl clubber(Kinda?I mean,those people sounded like they partied all night) was like:"You look sexy in a uniform"(I was wearing a blazer,a sweater and a tracksuit..).Flattery,wow....NOT!!Of course,being me,blank face(stone cold) as a I passed them and out the train.The others were like:"Tough going out to school early,eh?"(I was only carrying my tennis bag.My schoolbooks were few enough to fit in.)"He looks like a turtle"(With a face like mine,I don't mind.It's probably my big Wilson bag..)

This brings us to tennis.....which I hate to say I'm really tired but I've been playing for 11 straight days since last Wednesday(streak ended today!!hooray!!Just hope someone doesn't wanna hit tomorrow...)And my winning streak was just snapped on day 9.Legs were just simply crying out loud "NO MORE!!",so I figured I really need some good rest before resuming my trials(scorelines later).What's happening so far?

Open trials W 6-3 6-1 W 6-0 6-3 Behind 5-7 2nd set continuing Monday(Must rest on Sunday or it'll be day 12 and 13...)
16 trials W 6-5 (7-2)(Tiebreaker at 5-5,dunno why) L 2-6(Day 9)

And what's making me win?I'm not a superstitious person,but I do like certain shirts when playing tennis.Guess em.....Lacoste?Nike?Adidas?Reebok?Nudgee Colledge?NAH,NO WAY(especially the last one),all I need are good ol' CHMS Red House shirts :D.I just can't play without em XD.I mean,having shirts that were involved in winning a couple of medals in the past does help,right?XD.Simply love em,and hope I could wear them in the GPS season(because NC shirts and sooo plain.And did I forget to mention their shorts are soooo mini they're better as boxers?).

Back to more of tennis.Last night I just wanna have a massive break toward the end of my training session and when it ended,I was like:"10 days in a row was too much for me.."(I don't remember playing more than 7 in one go) and dad replied:"Pros do 24".YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS.It's understandable if they go 2 weeks consecutively or 365 days,but they DO HAVE TO REST SOMETIME.And even if they play 24 days in one go,they don't study for 8 hours a day,5 days a week,no?

If the night couldn't get any worse,it just did.Mum and dad were smoking at the bus stop(while I had to keep myself alive....) and it so happens another student (Grade 12) was there.And when he saw mum smoke,this is how it went:

"Can I have one as well?"(I was shocked)
(Cuts off some not ecessary lines from mum)"Are you legal?"
"Yeah,I'm 17"(Mum looks at dad,dad smiles and nods.I think smoking is legal at 16,drinks at 18)
"thanks.Your son should smoke too"(I cut off some extra lines here as well,talks about me being a minor,image stuff...etc etc)

NOW,EXCUSE ME(prepare for the bleeps),I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE GRADE 12,17 AND SMOKE,BUT DON'T TELL ME TO,BECAUSE I WILL NOT(I'm gonna make that my lifelong promise,drinking as well.Screw my chem assigment because we need to taste wine.)SMOKE NOR DRINK.YOU ARE A DISGRACE EVERYWHERE,AND YOU'RE IN A FRIGGIN UNIFORM!!I'm not just mad a him....AND MUM,WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SMOKE IN THE 1ST PLACE!!IF YOU DIDN'T,YOU WOULND'T HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE IMBECILE SMOKING.IT'S YOU PARENTS THAT INFLUENCE THE YOUNGER GENERATION.LOOK AT YOUR PATHETIC SELVES!!I'M DOWN WITH COLDS AND NOW I'M FURTHER HAVING MY LUNGS POLLUTED WITH CHEMICALS.ARE YOU DUMB??!!

Ok,normally I would stop after anger was released but I'm missing giving out reviews,so here we are,4 books as well as old TV series(TIA-"This is Australia...)That had their pilots shown 3 years ago...

1)Fear Street:The Best Friend 2 (4 stars)
Summary:Phsycotic person who copycats someone in practically everything (EVERYTHING)is back to haunt her,but she was stopped,then who is on her now?
Creepy,and confusing.Like,who's who?And who's looking at who murdering who's who?And how did who's who survived who's who's actions?

2)Short Cuts(3 1/2 stars)
Summary:Bunch of students are in meida class,and somehow each boy and girl has their own happy ending.
Once again,another confusing storyline,but clearer.Almost fooled my a teacher x student XD(which never happened as teacher was assuming and reality was something else...).Bad boy and smart girl....soccer player and bully victim vying for coolest girl.....Mhmm....romance is simply weird......

3)The Crush(4 1/2 stars)
Summary:Two rival teams,two different players clash heads in trying to win the girl that has their hearts.
You have a person who's fair and a person who isn't,has a pushy dad and is willing to do anything to keep him off.Of course,honesty prevails,but didn't win the rugby game though...nor the girl...although something did happen....*sniff*....WAAHHHHHHHH!!!

4)Siggy and Amber(4 stars)
Summary:Siggy has two options:Prove Amber that there IS a ghost and risk a limb and maybe win her OR save himself and probably convince Amber that he's lying.
Pretty funny......Amber has two mums,the town has a real estate agent who lies to potential housebuyers with a wife acting as a famous local painter and Siggy's friend who makes a 500K bet with Siggy in trying to woo the girl.Story's a bit too straightforward....like all modern writers tend to have nowadays....

TV
1)30 Rock Season 1 Episode 1(4 stars) and 2 (3.5 stars)
I know,I know,3 LONG YEARS!!I wonder how did this place cover up it's image....Love Tina Fey,Tracy Morgan's crazy shouting he's a jedi....someone has haemorroid cream as a secret to a youthful face and Alec Baldwin's an idiot to try and fire everyone...

2)Secret Life Of An American Teenager(3.5-4 stars)(Can't really rate)
The only thing was counting the number of times the word "***" was used XD (Over 30),and those high school people are 15,16?
-School French Horn player(a girl) becomes ahem....Preg after having a one-night stand with a drummer playboy in band camp.Meanwhile,some boy desperately wants a girlfriend,looks at her,think she's cute,decides to ask the counsellor who's new in school to enrol him in music classes and asks her out on a date,later,both boys went eye to eye...
-Another couple:VERY FAITHFUL Christians,vow to love each other forever,marry after girl finishes medical school,quarterback boy gets a little down(because you know what boys think....)and stumbles onto playboy's current girlfriend an at the end of the episode they somehow touched lips...
-About playboy:Got girl preg,has another girlfriend,currently trying to hit on quarterback's girl.Childhood taken by father due to abuse......

I have a feeling I'm missing something here,and I think it's not the pilot...oh well,gotta find it...I'll just keep watching it(because I simply enjoy counting the number of times they use that word and laugh at the 0.02% possibility normal 15-16year old would use it)

XD anyways long one once more XD.Too much I'm afraid.Gotto go.Bye!!

Saving Me

2009-07-21T17:39:00.000+10:00

People,I'm seriously in need of some advice here.....and I'd probably scream at my parents when I'm done with this post(waiting till dad's back.....).

Here's why:The past few days have been pretty good to me.Got past 1st IV trials(not likely to be the 1st IV though I won all my matches so far but I definitely can make it next year) as well as 16's(I'm doing 2 in case 1 of them fails).Anyone could be happy that they're still on a roll,and of course I am,but at my last period of class,I was harassed(defintely the right word...) by a bunch of brainless 16-year old goons.

Definitely not sexually(I'm currently doubting that now),BUT verbally.I'M SURE THEY HAVE NO *BLEEP*(ACTUALLY "IT'S FRIGGIN") IDEA HOW DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO LOSE 15 YEARS OF MY MAGNIFICENT(with the last 2 being the best)LIFE IN A COUNTRY WHERE OBSCENITIES ARE VIRTUALLY ABSENT.And if you're curious enough to kill the cat and ask why did I blow my fuse,here's some parts of the conversation I remembered:

Student Formation class,teacher's not there,outside class

Idiot 1:Georgie!!!Why don't you give *name of another person* a hug?

Me:What's the point?(Raising one eyebrow)

Idiot 1:Aww,come on,Georgie,just give him one(forces me)

(I refused and pushed out)

Soon.....

Idiot 1(Biology classmate who loves sweet-talking teachers but thankfully my bio teacher is immune):Hey George,where's your bag?

Me:Tuesday is the lightest day,plus I've got a big tennis bag.You don't expect me to carry my school bag as well,do you?I mean,I have to walk from Virginia,and 2 big bags are certainly too much for me.And since Tuesday usually has the least books needed,why not place them into my tennis bag instead?After all,there's plenty of space.

Idiot 1:Well,why not carry a bag now?

Me:I prefer to leave my stuff at the dean's office and carry 2 periods of books.Once it's break time,I return to the office and switch them.That way sore shoulders won't be a problem to me.You have your own views,I have mine.

Idiot 1:Yeah..

Later........

Idiot 1(He DOES talk a lot,and that's why he gets into trouble tons of times in bio):How come you speak english so well?
(To be exact,I think I've been asked this question for like 10 times already this year.Is it because people think I'm a stereotypical Chinese who speaks english with a drooling baby accent?No offence to my fellow peers,just feel like letting all out.Doesn't include people from Brunei because your english rocks.)

Me:(*sigh*I hate to repeat the same thing 9 times all over again)English is my first language.My mum is a Filipino,whose country(true facts?)was colonised by Americans more than 100 years ago so yeahh,that's probably where I got my english from.

The convo continues,with me getting frustrated over the fact that I'm assuming these guys just wanna have me in their gang....nothing much,until......

Idiot 1:What books do you read?

Me:(being honest...)Ummm novels(I don't mention romance).I don't really enjoy schoolbooks,no idea why...but as far as I know,I love reading.

(By now two more idiots joined in)

Idiot 2:Have you read Harry Potter?

Me:Nah,I just watch the movie....

And now here's the part that ticked me off.Being the "stereotypical,dumb,perverted Australian teenager"(Australia,I officially despise you,minus anybody related to tennis),they began talking lewd stuff,beginning with HP,then progressing to internet,and EVEN FRIGGIN ASKED ME IF I EVER *bleep*(Another word for chewing,slightly altered)MYSELF.

I am SOOOOOOO depressed right now,I'm thinking whether or not to grab my racket and smash some sense into one of them(belonging to my PC).It's easily identifiable that they're either fully into sports OR delinquents.And if they're looking for company,they've just barked up the wrong tree.Why?Because the tree has a red lion,a person who is struggling to balance between school and sports.Even though I've got 3A's,3B's and a C(Note:I'm planning to make it 4A's and 3 B's by the end of year),it doesn't mean I'm gonna copy your lifestyle of gaming first,homework later(For your info,I finish my homework in school).

I guess that's it.........NOT.Chinese class has been switched to Friday just because there's only one person attending last tuesday(and it so happens teacher mentioned he's gonna have knee surgery and won't be teaching for the first few weeks).=.=Hello,in the beginning of the year I switched my tennis from Tuesday to Friday to accomodate it,now it's back to friday again??!!Any reasons??

*sigh*I don't really think I'm gonna be having an optimistic post anytime soon.New book reviews will be available if I'm not having a really bad fit...till then

Come please,I'm falling,I'm falling....
(lyric of song,not telling you to come here)

Judgement Day

2009-07-19T18:47:00.000+10:00

"You are terminated...."

Blah,forget the Terminator saga for once.It's not the 2nd movie,but it's in fact MY judgement day,and once more,this isn't going to be such a happy post...

Dad called up yesterday,and was talking to mum,while I was eating my lunch.In the middle of it,I heard:"You come back and we'll make a decision."Now,I don't need to be a fool to know what decision is that.You guys might think I'd be glad to have him back after his long hours of work.Unfortunately,because the conversation was within earshot,I've got the answer:NOT REALLY.

I understand that he constantly criticises me for not being good enough.I bet he still doesn't get the point:"Play it because you love it".Here's one of his more frequently used quotes:"Got any points?"

=.= Points?Screw points,you're just p*ssed because you're "investing" and not getting any in return.I'm no puppet.And the word "invest" plainly shows that you're trying to manipulate me,someway,somehow....

Now,I do have points,but not at the national level yet(due to the fact that they take results from best 8 tournaments while I played like 4 so far).However,playing matches=gaining experience.It doesn't mean that you'll get better if you win.Sometimes it's when you lose when you found your greatest triumph.Currently,I've been on a good streak since my 1st tournament win(played Super league yesterday and won both my matches) but honestly I can't wait until I lose(school trials coming up,losing is most likely).Why?I get criticised when I win,I know what I have to work on,and you talk like there's no limit.When I lose,I can hold up my head,think of what was good,what can work,what I have to change,because the truth is that I'm not in Brunei anymore,it's a new ballgame.

Sure,I could hit balls hard like I used to,but here's different.It's a battle of minds,no longer the battle of power.Dad was like:"Whack him left and right,make him run"Now dad,what you were saying is PURE OVERKILL.Sure,you can still insist that you're "one of my coaches".Truth is,what's new that I can learn from you?You have the right principle,but there's others who can open up my mind even further.

Now,I'm not saying I don't need him anymore,but when I was at the Gold Coast,one coach taught me stuff I never knew before.In response to make the opponent run left and right(I said that because that's what I've heard tons of times and I'm practically sick of hearing it),the coach asked:"How are you going to do that?".Now,that I have no answer.It was hard to swallow,but he told me:"You're not playing tennis,you're just hitting tennis balls".

That was a shocker to me,and throughout the next few days he showed me some examples of people in tournaments who play "tennis"."Tennis," he says "is like a chessgame.You think 2 or 3 moves ahead,what you're gonna do,what shot he's gonna make,and how you're gonna win the point.The trick to that is patterns.You use the patterns to set up the play just like you want it to be,and that way you will win the point."

Until now I still have difficulty creating patterns.In fact,I don't even know what pattern did I use.Sure,since I've been here,I know what I've gained and what I've lost.I play more backhands(used to slice a lot,and still do,but mostly to get the guy on the run),more forehands and more volleys.6 months ago,my coach at school noted that I wouldn't even dare to go to the net to finish the point(although I have good groundstrokes).That resulted in me playing an extra ball the opponent hits back as he/she has time to recover(volleying on the other hand shortens recovery time).Now that I'm going to the net more often,I'm more unpredictable(People know me as a complete baseliner and a coward at the net XD).It doesn't matter if I lost the point when I'm at the net,because like my coach says:"They're gonna wonder what you're gonna do next,what ball they're gonna use,which gives them more to think and less to react".

Dad can say that I'm better when I was younger all he wants,but I know now that I'm better than I was,someway.Here the level's higher,and not only I had to step up,but to change.You could go BLAM!BLAM!BLAM!,but you'll get a "HOW DID HE GET THAT??!!" most of the time.You can say I'm more powerful than they are and I should have won the match,but you don't understand my characteristics,my strengths,my weaknesses(though you think you know) nor those I'm playing.

And last but not least,who's playing?I know I should be thankful enough that I still can play,but don't cross the line.There's one,and I'm not surprised if you didn't see it......And by the way,don't use your bad knee as an excuse,because how'd you play table tennis at your construction site?

Ok I shouldn't have written too much because I still have more to say(not tennis..).Oh well,some other day.Tennis trials for Grade 11(*sigh* I'm too young...)are on tomorrow or tuesday(Not gonna whine just because they're older,they're better.I know they are,but the new kid on the block's coming up with a few tricks) which trials for the 1st IV(4 best players in school) are on Wednesday and Friday morning(slim chance,though 2nd IV is most likely where I'll end up,it's up to whether who's having a good day,a bad day or a GREAT day) so yeahhs.Dad's gonna come back on Wednesday morning and I'm not gonna tell him about the trials.He's gonna be like:"How come you aren't in the 1st IV?You can whack these guys down here,show them what you're made of.How come you couldn't??!!" Blah,GET REAL.There's others better than me,so I have to be content with playing catch up to them.I mean,patience,just like you said,no?Look who's not now?

If Everyone Cared

2009-07-16T21:24:00.000+10:00

SO SORRY FOR THE LONG BREAK.I was kind of busy with school stuff.Don't worry about me having some emotional outburst today :D because so far,school's good,life's ok and the movies I watch kept me in a good mood.THERE IS something I don't particularly like,it's just I'm kind of fed up with it(not angry,just rolling my eyes around my socket).

Now,school.2nd semester started on Monday and I don't really like my haircut this time...It's kind of like Arnie-style(not fully defined).And to make things worse,I'VE GOT PHOTO TAKING.NOOOOOOOOO!!I never look good on camera.So yeahh,I practically didn't show my teeth,and for those who know me well as kind of a sad person,I think I gave a smile,not so wide,and with my eyes calm and a little twinkle....I WON'T PUT IT ON MY DISPLAY PICTURE ON MSN!!!Sorry :D.Besides that,school's under renovation,and now my classes are all over the place.More exercise=goody Less time to talk=Grr...Not going much to the library nowadays...feel like I'm done with romance novels (for now) and just trying to stay in shape...

I'll probably skip the nonsense details and move on to the next thing I'm gonna talk about:My polls.Good thing:They're gonna be more often Bad thing:Some of you might won't like it.

Pretty short,eh?Well,I'm going straight to the latest movie(s) I watched.Ok,I want you to guess:Eminem's film debut(AND ONLY ONE TO DATE if I'm not wrong),has my favourite Lil' Slim Shady song(Lose Yourself),critics gave it good ratings,opened in 2002,grossed U$51 million in it's first week,2nd highest ever for a music artist(I know it's a 2nd in something) and contains a good cast as well as various cameos including Xzibit and LL Cool J,and I think Will Smith as well(it looked like him in the 1st scene).Now,DON'T LOOK YET,because you don't know the answer...Clue:It's a highway connected to Detroit.*sigh*Don't know?OK,I give up :D

1)8 Mile (4.5/5)
Starring:Eminem(a.k.a Marshall Mathers III),Brittany Murphy,Kim Basinger
The plot:A young man tries to make ends meet (for his mum who's getting evicted) in the mean streets of Detroit,taking part in rap battles,being manipulated,finding out and dealing with it,as well as finding love and desperately holding on to the one thing he doesn't want to give up:music.

The film is STRICTLY for mature audiences(I count,don't I?) and by that I mean bad word are mouthed,bad examples(guns)and a little racism,surprisingly not towards the main targets(you know....)

Honestly,this is the polar opposite of everybody's favourite(and also most ridiculous?)cheer up musical,HSM.Dark,realistic(Detroit City yooo) and tense,it's wayy better than any musical in history(by history I mean from 1970's onwards.Take that,John Travolta...XD).Eminem is SUPERB playing the main character,Rabbit(hip-hop...) who bad-mouths(I forgot to mention the f-word was heard for like 100 times or so from everyone in the film),chills out and jerks out the tears in the whole film.In case you guys didn't notice,the whole film was like trying to set uo the making of "Lose Yourself"(no.34 most influencial song of all time and No.1 since 2000s).Brittany Murphy is EXTREMELY SAUCY(ahem...) as Alice,who aspires to be a book writer and wants to pursue her career in New York.Alice met Rabbit at the factory where he was working and at one time he was mad at his boss when the boss refused his offer to show Alice around.As a result,Rabbit flashed a middle finger(as well as his thumb) and it so happens Alice saw it,misunderstood,and returned the gestureXD.Strange 1st meeting.I don't like to say this,but she DID something with Eminem in the factory AS WELL AS Eminem's friend-turned enemy gang member in some broadcasting office(not shown,of course,but acted out).But still,sporting a rocking hairstyle as well as a "catch me if you can" attitude,Murphy kind of caught me offguard(she tends to be in comedies).And Kim Basinger:WOW!Great comeback from the veteran actress.Angelina Jolie,watch out XD....

From start to finish I was anticipating the best,and the best was better than what I had expected.Like,in the 1st rap battle,he choked(part of the song lyrics as well) and was booed.In the end,they others tried to make him choke again,and this time....he gave them a taste of their own medicine.The enemy gang mainly focused on his friend,who,dumbly enough,took a pistol out and fired a warning shot during an earlier scene which showed a fight between the gangs and shot himself in the *bleep*.

The ending was by far one of the best.Not the love story you hoped for.Alice left,but not before watching Rabbit beat Papa Doc(enemy gang champ)to win the rap competition.Rabbit's gained the favour of his boss,mom's not evicted as she won U$3200 in Bingo....As for Rabbit,his friends wondered after he won the battle whether he'll participate in music again.The response.......*music starts*he turns around,friends were silent,but understood,peace out.....no more music.....black screen...."If you had........one shot.........one opportunity.....to seize everything you ever wanted.....One moment....would you capture it?....OR JUST LET IT SLIP...."You know,I finished watching it at 2am in the morning as was still super-hyped(coffee....)

Anyways enough of my long bad review which was supposed to be interesting,andddddd......WAIT WAIT!!GRRRR!!I suppose you guys know that this is something I might be really good at,but I think it's time interhouse becomes history....Yep,it's on this year here,AND IT'S COMPULSORY...*sigh*Time to don the shoes once more?Or leave it for good,just give some bad performance...hmm....

Last but not least,I have to say I AM WORRIED about the situation of the flu pandemic which is currently affecting my ex-country(doesn't mean I'll accept Aussies here...).I've just got some news that one of my favourite cub scouts(I'd love to call them my kids),Mark,apparently was infected and is currently in the hospital for treatment.All I wanna say is get well soon.I've never seen you do any wrong around,buddy,and I'm sure you'll be blessed with safety.To all the others,stay strong.

Anyways,that's all for now,I'm gonna practiced tennis at 6.30am tomorrow so I'm gonna crash.Godspeed.

Curtain Call?

2009-07-12T22:26:00.000+10:00

Ok I've just finished my tournament,I'm darn tired,and I crashed in the afternoon before regaining consciousnessat 8.30pm for my dinner.

In case you guys would want to know how'd I go,here's the results(with scores XD)

Doubles
Friday Quarters:6-3 7-5
Sunday Semis:Lost 6-4 1-6 Tiebreaker 4-7 (No 3rd set,either their rules or someone just can't stand the heat XD)

Technically,I'm not much of a doubles specialist,but I do try and provide as much assistance as I can.Plus,it's a first to have a partner that talks MORE than I do XD.We had a good time even though we lost.I don't really think we played badly.Partner usually just chips the ball back in play but for today,I told him I don't really mind if he took a swipe at it and it went out.After all,it's well worth the try XD.Ain't got no shame doing that whie being underdogs vs the 2nd seeds (I played one of them in my singles) yooooooooo!

Psst,I think I made some parents raise their eyebrows because I was hitting the ball towards the body of the volleyer while receiving.After a few successful attempt,our opponents were more than happy to stand back and NOT get "hurt" XD.I didn't hit anyone,but I was thinking they'd put a racket and block it somehow instead of dodging it.I believe they've never encountered someone that "dangerous" LOL.And what'd I get?One of them tried to return the favour and nearly took my head off.Ball was out XP.

I know I'm not supposed to ask,but am I going a little overboard on the "aiming for the volleyer" thing?You can post you comments on the cbox :D Hope to hear.Anyways besides that,has anybody heard of the "short deuce" rule?It's like after the 1st deuce,someone has the advantage and loses the point,creating a second deuce.Now whoever wins this point gets the game,not having the advantage.WHAT KIND OF RULE IS THAT??!!I've been playing tournaments for like 5-6 years and I've NEVER HEARD OF IT,TILL THIS WEEK.Blah,it's just as bad as the "double bounce" rule I encountered during my munchkin days.
Note:"deuce rule" plays an important part in my singles XD

Now,for the singles(note:I'm unseeded because I'm new XD)
Friday Round of 16:6-3 6-1
Talk about bad starts.It was kind of hard to adjust to synthetic courts.I mean,I thought it was hard,but it definitely didn't felt like it.Never got past the round of 16,now's my chance.It's not easy to get past someone who serves hard and either gets it in or double faults.His string snapped as well.Nice guy though,told me in 3 tourneys he lost to players who won them XD.Could it be......

Saturday Quaters:6-0 6-2
1st quarterfinal appearance and somone forgot to told me the guy's a lefty(Note:my record was 1-5 before tournament,now's 3-5).The only thing I had to do was make him move.Did it well in the 1st set,and found myself 0-2 down in the second(I presume I just wanna catch my breath)Before reeling off the next 6 not-so-easy games.2nd set was interesting plainly because there were quite some exchanges in contrast to the 1st which the guy was kind of shellshocked(Nobody know me remember?:D).ON TO SUNDAY!!

Sunday Semis
6-1 6-2
Good thing I got my quarters done and dusted quickly as my would-be opponent was playing on the other side of the fence.SHOCKING!!NO.1 SEED GONE!!What did I say?Erm, 2 things:Yes because I've never beaten No.1 seed and and I hate lefties and NOOOOO,where's the 3rd set?6-1 6-7(5) 9-7 and No.1 seed went out,while the other one was kinda pumped up.Beating 1st seed=Hot favourite?Answer:Waking up in a Sunday morning at 5.15 am certainly puts me in a bad mood.And...HE FELL FOR MY MENTAL TRICK!!!I don't like the "short deuce"rule,so I just asked if I could play the "long euce".Said he didn't mind...it was his call,could have said no if he wanted to(I might argue because I prefer the "true" rules of the game".So,in you come,out you shall go.Got a little "Dementieva's syndrome"(Made it up XD).Before closing out the match.FINALS!!YAY!!Against No.2 seed in singles(who so happens to be the one I played against in doubles semis)who took out his partner (yes,his partner.Kissed and made up pretty quickly XD)6-4 6-3 to set himself up(again...)as the favourite(I just love being the underdog.No seeding=No knowledge of player :D)for the finals.

Sunday Finals
Well,whaddaya know.I'm in the finals for the 1st time after 4 tournaments(1st quarters and semis too XD)and up against the No.2 seed.

Advantages:Nobody knows me(Some were left jaws out from looking at my serve XD).I've got nothing to lose.I know I'm better(yes,I do.Was a little wrong though...)and I've got a plan.I also played less matches (2 to his 3 for the day)

Disadvantages:I'm shorter(happens all the time now...),the underdog(loving the tag),he's on a high after winning his 3 matches while I lost one of mine.

I rarely get beaten because of my fitness,but my mental states kind of let me down a bit and that tend to be the cause of losing.So then,1)More rest vs more matchplay experience.2)Seeding confidence vs nothing-to-lose 3)Serve vs return

Honestly,I was surprised myself when I had a hard whack on my serves...even more stunning was HE GOT THEM BACK!!Wowwie,I just did a roughly 100mph(I'd say around 150kph which is like around 95)and he smacked it right back to me.A long day it is....

He bettered me in ALMOST every aspect of the game.Groundstrokes,which were my best allies,were outclassed by his.Tried chip and charge,he hit a winner.Got him on the run,he got me on the backfoot.*sigh*....

I played a Sam Stosur kind of the,you know,heavy forehands,almost no backhand,plenty of volleys(VOLLEYS ARE MY CHINK)and probably it DID pay off a little bit.But that wasn't enough for the win.I did mention "almost",didn't I?Well,that "almost" was the serve.I hate to admit this,but he has "Dementieva's syndrome" XD while I'm pretty much "A-Rod" mood today(emotionless).The serve made the difference.

The score?Ummmm....Broke him for 2-0 in the 1st set.....Broke back for 2-1...held serves for 3-2,4-3 and 5-4....He was serving to stay in the set and probably there was pressure on him and he double faulted to hand me the set 6-4.

2nd set:BROKEN IMMEDIATELY,NOOOO!!!Broke his serve again X 1-1,Went ahead 2-1,and broke again for 3-1,lost my serve for 3-2,broke again(quite a lots of breaks :D)for 4-2 and held for 5-2 LEAD!!!Joy?Nah,he held his serve 5-3

So it all comes down to this.Never won a tourney in 2-3 years,not gonna let it slip now...Drop volleyed for 15-0.Whuuutttt??!!He still hits winners after all this time??!!(I counted like over 20 XD I don't think I even have 5 LOL)15-15.Got the next point for a 30-15.And CARELESSLY smashed a ball like 1-2 inches long.GAH!!Coulda have 2 match points there.He gave a point back thanks to a close call for 40-30.

I've never closed out with an ace before XD,but I wouldn't wanna do something reckless.Got the serve in,set the forehand,came into the net,volleyed,and when does he ever stop trying.....another clean winner for a deuce.Played safe on this point,just placing the ball good enough to keep him moving.Out ball,Advantage....

Dumped 1st serve in the net,and I mishit my 2nd serve(nerves?).Went in though XP and play on!!BAckhand crosscourt towards me,backhand down the line to his forehand.HE hit crosscourt,so did I.Crosscourt again,I took a big step(I wonder if I've got my stretching fixed XD)and hit a low crosscourt back to his forehand once more.Reached for hit,made it lower,but my low ball earlier just went over the net,could it even get over?

Nah,6-4 6-3 was the scoreline.Normally,people would be jumping or smiling or all that sort of stuff,but was I happy?

No I wasn't.Somehow this past week I know I've made bad decisions on some stuff,and somehow dad JUST MADE IT WORSE.I wouldn't want to point the finger on him.But I heard from mum talking to others like:"I've never seen him this aggresive.His father already gave a warning.If he gets past the quarters,maybe he can continue.."

WHAT WAS THAT??!!That was a gutless quote.Do I have to remind them that I've barely been heere 6 months,played less than 5 tourneys,adjusting life here and TRYING TO COPE WITH WHAT I LOST??!!AND DON'T FORGET I DONT EVER RECALL YOU WINNING A TOURNEY.You can't just take away what I have.I've gone this far in life only to have it stripped bare just for you to continue your own pursuit.IS MONEY THAT POWERFUL??!!

You know,I'm not even close to being happy right now.I'm not even an adult yet,and I know I'm not supposed to whine about anything,but I'm just so discouraged to find that I've got no support.Why let me go on when you're gonna cut it off soon anyway?THAT'S TORTURE.IF YOU'VE GOT *bleep*,TALK TO ME,ONE ON ONE!DON'T JUST WAIT FOR THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

I don't know what to do now....I'm terribly distraught...No light on the road,no siblings I could talk to at night.I had to beat my heart out just to try and cry,but those tears wouldn't come out.I've had enough,trophies don't mean anything,winning doesn't mean anything.There's no meaning to it when there's no one to console you when you're feeling down.....No meaning.....

The Fallen Rose

2009-07-11T22:07:00.000+10:00

Right,another short post again,due to the fact that I'm still in through to the semis on singles and doubles.

I'll just have Twilight's review AS WELL AS "The Princess Diaries"(Yes people,I DO watch movies NOT REALLY for male audiences,don't get me wrong) AS WELL AS HP and my depression returning once more....

Twilight (3.5/5)
SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING:
1)Eric's an Eastern
2)Mike's weird
3)Bill's dad is TOO YOUNG
4)Edward's skin has diamonds....(Really,shining skin can be made my lubricants such as oil...)
5)Laurent's TOO FRENCH?(and too young+too skinny XP)

I could probably list down a whole lot of ideas that I disagree with,enough to cover the front of a newspaper,but I'm not the director,so I should be less critical....

The first hour or so of the movie was TOTALLY,AWESOMELY AWFUL!!!I'm not gonna boast or anything,but I'd say that probably even ordinary people can act better than that..

Let's start with Eric,Mike and Tyler.I know it shows multiculturalism,but what's with the "HEY GIRL!!" or the usage of words like "baby" and trying to be cool all the time?GET REAL!!Sometimes proper introductions are needed,not some straightforward,out of the blue "You must be the new girl,yatta yatta yatta".Summary for the trio:3/10

Now to the Cullens:Carlisle's too young(seriously,Esme looked older),Alice's too cool(YES,THERE IS A LIMIT TO COOLNESS),Jasper's too weird(I get the American Revolution look,but speak up...),Emmett's fine but Rosalie's (get this) NOT CURVY ENOUGH.Ok,I'm not telling women to get skiiny and reach size 0,but it's hard to imagine how she turned heads during her living days.IN the baseball game,Alice's pitch was kinda funny.Good pose,bad pitch=not realistic enough(am I giving too much criticism?)
Summary:5/10

No comment about Bella....average acting...

I only began to enjoy the movie after the fighting sequence....the ending wasn't too shabby,but it almost failed to save the franchise...

The Princess Diaries (4/5)
Alright,I guess you people need explanations for why I'm watching this.Truth is,I'm a little soft(little's the word right?not "absolute",no?) when it comes to watching romance stuff.

Unlike Twilight,I loved it all the way :D except times when Mandy Moore starts *bleep*ing around.*sigh* If the ending were extended,I woulda cried XD

Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone(4/5)
How long has it been?8 years....And now that I've watched it again,there's a funny feeling to it.No comments,because my time's almost up.

Now,as for my behaviour,you cold call it "loli-shota".It's similar to childish,and makes people look kinda cute XD.DON'T GET ME WRONG AGAIN....I'm NOT a g*y,I'm just a little loli-shota who loves romance movies and is NOT HANDSOME OR CHARMING,BUT MORE OF A HUNCHBACK.

You know,I was really happy,REALLY FRIGGIN HAPPY,when I began writing once more after I finished my match.I was really in the moment......then I just slammed my lights off and my pencil down.

Why?Dad's message:"Good".GOOD??!!WHAT ON EARTH WAS THAT??!!To me,it sounds as if I'm not supported at all....WHAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF PLAYING THEN??!!Honestly,I don't know,either I feel better alone or I just have to wait until someone comes along and changes me once more....

Irreversible

2009-07-09T23:31:00.000+10:00

Ok short post today because I gotta sleep soon and mum's gonna blow a VEI 8..

I'll be offline for a couple of nights due to tennis tournament so yeahh...Will miss you all XD.

I'll give a review for Twilight the movie(WHAT??!!) in my next post....

Now for the short main thing

I've been going through some forums recently,posting my own views regarding topics,and my poll was oe of them.No,I'm not gonna kill myself or anything(I admit I did felt like it sometimes,don't worry),it's just to see how you all think about it.I'm gonna have more debatable polls sometime in the future,so yeahh..

Anyways,gtg now

Blood,Sweat and Tears

2009-07-06T15:25:00.000+10:00

Okay people,some of you may have seen it,some of you may have not.

HISTORY has been made.In tennis,I mean.Yes,Roger Federer overtook Pete Sampras for a record 15th Grand Slam title last night,here at 3.30am,beating Andy Roddick in 5 sets 5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 16-14.

For the record,I was watching EVERY point of the match,and actually wanted A-Rod to win.Nevertheless,the great man himself and luck on his side broke A-Rod when he needed to,the final game.

I'll be honest.Roddick HAD NOT been broken the whole match,and it was really a whole lot of bad luck that cost him.What could anyone say about that?I mean,it's basically fate.He had set point at 6-2 in the 2nd set tiebreaker and that changed everything.Life sucks sometimes,but what I know is that there was a message at where the players entered the Centre Court(which I do NOT remember it clearly):"If you meet with triumph and disaster,be sure to treat those two imposters just the same."

Who couldn't possibly feel bad for Andy right there?I think it's not really fair to allow one man to parade around the court while the other sits in his chair,practically rueing how close he came to winning.Both men were the winners today.The score doesn't say it,but the people do.

Now,those who don't really like Federer,here's some records the broke and tied :D:15 Grand Slams (most ever),No.1 ranking(1st ever player in Open Era to reclaim that ranking),7th consecutive Wimbledon Grand Slam appearance and 60th title,equalling my idol,Andre Agassi.

It was kind of hard for me to swallow,even as a spectator.My eyes were welling up,but I was glad enough to observe this kind of special moment.For those who don't really want Fed to win,I'll probably cheer you up with some records not reached yet:D

1)Definitely not "Youngest ever"(Boris Becker at 15-17)
2)No "Oldest Ever" in Open Era (33 when Agassi won Aussie Open)
3)Doesn't have Olympic singles gold(Take note Rafa has it)
4)6 Wimbledons to Sampras's 7
5)Calendar Grand Slam(Rod Laver)

And yes,he's considered "The Greatest Ever" by many already.To me,well,he is the greatest ever,in his own era.I believe each era has it's own greatest ever,but who is the true great is up to anyone to decide.

Well that's practically it.Do you know what actually makes him one of the best?Hope.

Many people don't really understand the true ingredient of a tennis player.It's not necessary to be a child prodigy for anything to happen.People tend to misunderstand "hope".Parents tend to think that their child MUST win to achieve greatness.I WILL say that this is wrong,this is not true.Take for example,parents who tend to ignore their child's words and insists on their own.That is called expectations,not hope.It's heartbreaking enough for the child to be pushed around,and parents think he/she's not practicing because he/she doesn't show any interest,and tend to force their offspring to practice,thinking that it's the best for them to do so.

They don't know what caused the child to stop.In fact,they probably WON'T EVEN ADMIT they are the cause.They DON'T EVEN KNOW they are the cause,they just go on with the "been there,done that" mentality that is SOOOO IRRITATING.

It's just that fine line that separates success from failure.3 words:Expectations,wish and hope.Those 3 words,slightly different in meaning,yet makes a large difference in life.Questions that start with "Who","When" or "What" are expectations.The people who asked expect the answers,not hope for it.

Take for instance,test results.I HATE to write this down but it's ok if you skip it because I'm really not in a good mood right now.

I had my results back about 2 weeks ago and there was this simple comment from dad:"That's bad".I wouldn't really agree or disagree in this matter because my religion DID drop while the rest were either maintained or upped slightly.However,that was A COMMENT OF EXPECTATION.Why couldn't there be a sense of OPTIMISM??!!It's really not wise to put in pessimism into the comments when someone's already been pounded wih it and doesn't realise how bad it's become.To rub more salt to the wounds,he added:"Your school result's bad,your tennis isn't improving much.Instead it's becoming worse,I'm paying lots of money for this...If you don't get any better,I'll probably just slowly pull it out of your schedule..".It's easy enough to say,but there's SO MUCH things that adults tend to overlook.If it's worse,what's worse?What's better?

And what is the response?This is NOT RIGHT:"You don't have your fast serve and your kick serve and now you've got the slice serve.Your backhand's pretty bad."And what's in the comment?Expectations.The person expects the player to have it and be good at it.

Take a look at this comment:"Try to fix your serve up a little bit.Add more varieties,spin or more pace to it and you'll be fine.Also,try to work on your backhand a little bit more."What do you find in it?

I know I'm pretty much going too deep into this simple matter,but I'm feeling really down low at the moment.After going to sleep at 4am and waking up at 1.30pm in the afternoon,I felt like going out for a practice,feeling really good,believing in myself that I could be there.

Then mum asked
"When are you going out to practice?"

That put me off straightaway.There's no point in practice when there's no hope on me.....I think it's probably time to call it quits.You know,hanging up the racket.I'm pretty fragile,and I probably could break at any time....

SW19

2009-07-02T14:26:00.000+10:00

Back again!!Yes,it's getting more and more frequent for me to post nowadays.It's mainly just the holidays and I'm doing nothing but compter,tennis and TV.Well,today,I'd be combining all three right here:Using the computer to talk about Wimbledon which I'm currently watching on television XD.

For those who don't really follow tennis,Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slams in tennis and is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious tournaments ever(being around since the 1880's).If this post were to be about Wimbledon,I could seriously babble on and on about it XD.I'd say it's definitely a dream to play there,being one of the four Grand Slams.In fact,it's te one tournament I REALLY hope to play in when I'm a senior(long way to go).

Now,what's happening in Wimbledon so far?No rain(1st time in history),new roof and that Swiss guy(Federer XD) chasing a record 15th Grand Slam(beating Pete Sampras's count of 14).

Awww,Federer's going to win again?Well,for those who hope not,I'm half-with you XD.Well,history's on the line here,sometimes it's just gotta be appreciated.In the meantime,I'll just rant along about the players that could beat Federer.

9)Juan Martin Del Potro
Lost in 5 against Fed in French.Dang the NERVES!!
What happened?Lost to Hewitt in 3 sets in the 2nd round(heck yeahh!!)
If played Federer:Best chance=Lost in 3

8)Fernando Verdasco
I think he'd stop worrying about his looks and start getting better.Just can't seem to beat players above his ranking of 8.
What happened?Lost to Ivo "The Bomber" Karlovic in the 4th round
If vs Federer:Best chance=Lost in 3

7)Jo-Wilfred Tsonga
WOOOOO!!TSONGA TSUNAMI!!Too bad it's not on hardcourt...
What happened?Lost to "The Bomber"(same person again....)in the 3rd round
If vs Federer:Best chance=Lost in 4

6)Ivo Karlovic
XD The Bomber himself.REALLY.It's actually a bore to watch him because he only just serves XD.Problem is:Stick your racket out,get the ball in and you'll win the point LOL.
What happened?Lost to Fed in quarters in 3
If he played Fed when Roger was "normal",he could possibly won in 4 sets.Ivo needs to work on his shots and not relying too much on his serve(more entertaining that way XD)

5)Tommy Haas
Surprise package once more....beat Novak Djokovic(getting tired?) to meet Federer in semis.Tommy's kind of like a prototype Federer XD.Yummy,someone has a chance here :D
Hopefully:Haas in 5 sets(30%)
Probable realistic scenario:Federer in 4(70%)
Give or take 10%

4)Novak Djokovic
Honestly,can't beat Federer,not even in hope.....
What happened?Lost to Haas in 3 in quarters
If vs Federer:Lost in 4

3)Andy Murray
GGGRRRRREEEAAATTTTT SCOTS!!!He does have a good chance actually.He's in the semis as well,against my no.2 pick Andy Roddick
If vs Federer:Murray or Federer in 4 or 5 sets (45% for Murray)
Really,anything could happen for my top 3 picks

2)Andy Roddick
:D Best chance of the semi-finalists to beat Feder in my opinion.Problem is he lost 3 times in the finals to that Swiss guy.Times might change.Beat Hewitt in 5 set epic last night(marvelous,love the match,a bit upset at the outcome XD).
If vs Federer:Either players in 4 or 5 sets(50% chance)

1)Lleyton Hewitt
COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!Back from a hip surgery and played really well.Too bad Roddick outclassed him in quarters *sniff*.Beat Del Potro and then Radek Stepanek before going down to A-Rod
If vs Federer:Either in 3-5 sets(55% for Hewitt)

I don't really bother about the women's draw.I miss Henin and Sharapova's out.Newcomer Melanie Oudin's a new one to watch.Out of the 4 semifinalists(Safina,Dementieva and the Williams),I have a feeling it's either Dementieva's time
or another Williams win(More likely Serena).Safina's not good enough really.....

Doubles?I'd go for Bryan brothers or any US players in mens and Sam Stosur and Renae Stubbs from Aussie in womens.

That's all folks for this nonsense edition of Life,Love,Truth n Heartbreaks XD.

You know,I do have one post I'd like to write on,but I'm not fully angry enough yet....It's REALLY depressing....

I Walk Alone:The Da Vinci Show

2009-06-28T18:27:00.000+10:00

Ok I'm back again,And apparently theres more things happening(well,just an extra one)but I'll just resume from where I left off.

About Leonardo Da Vinci:Hmmm,one sentence for him:A revoltionary person who during the middle ages would have been classified as..ummmm,sorry Leo....outrageous??Yeah,that's the word.I went to the art exhibition and got to see his ideas not related to his artwork.It surprisd me to think that he was actually interested in warfare.Among his ideas were:Scuba diving apparatus(O.O),Liferaft(O.O),Gears and levers mechanisms(O.O),a gun ship(yes,the boat that has a cannon,but in his ideas,the cannons were arranged in a circular form to avoid recoil that might damae the ship),bicycle(WHAT??!!),parachute(yep,no idea why when there wasn't any aeroplanes),a bridge(now that's something a scout would like to do) and a hammer an anvil(for lazy people who just don't want to hold the hammer,just turn on the lever and it'll do all the work for you XD).Of course,there are his famous paintings,and I DID NOT forget to purchase a souvenir.Come on,guess what is it?Don't know?Awww,here's the answer.........WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIT FOR IT........THE MONA LISA!!!Haha,it's not the authentic one,but it's just as good in my opinion(of course,the original is better).I also got a lucky coin,so it's time to test it's luck,where else except my upcoming tennis tournament.The Mona Lisa painting is in my room,on the wall over my bed.Strange,it's as if she's looking at me regardless of any angle....

I do have photos I'm certainly willing to share(around 85 to be exact)but I'm gonna need a little help with putting this in my blog.Any help is kindly appreciated :D and yes,I have a picture of me in it.So it's one of those rare(RARE) moments of me on camera(I'm never good on photos,but this one's just fine..)

I Walk Alone

2009-06-26T22:53:00.000+10:00

Well,two things happened today.Wait,make that four:Former 70's Charlie's Angel star Farah Fawcett has pased away,and our dearly beloved,always cherised and forever remembered King of Pop,Michael Jackson has passed away,I visited an art exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci(Hopefully there's a DeCaprio soon) and my test results are back.

Let's start with MJ.I know the whole world is talking about it right now,but I'm not supposed to shy away from it here.I'm not really a big fan of his,but I do love his music.Tell me,have you ever hear anyhing like his during his reign?Out of all those heavy rock,AC/DC,Rolling Stones,all that,they're called 70's or 80's music.However,MJ's music ain't called that,but Michael Jackson music.Even now you wouldn't find the song old,would you?Thriller,Bad,Dangerous,Billie Jean,they don't belong is any era,even now,because they're timeless.

I could vividly recall my younger days when there were VHS tapes and I was watching the Thriller video.It was up to he part when the zombies were comingout of the grave and all those stuff,and I would cover my eyes and shout:"STOP IT!STOP IT!STOP IT!" and when the scene passes:"It is over yet?"Hehe,still gives me the creeps.

Forget all those molestation chargs or anything like that.It's a fact that stars(or in this case,megastars) are also human.I'm not sayng he's guilty,it's just that his life is constantly on the centre stage of media entertainment,without privacy.Then all of a sudden all those false rumours spread and there you go,trouble.
You know,I thinkhe kind of pushed himself a bit too far in announcing his 50 concerts and peope are saying he's doing it for the money,but I don't really bother as long as he loves wh he's doing.

He passed away while practicing.How ragic was that?Doing something that he's been doing for over 30 years.When he was gone,people didn't mourn,but celebrated his life.I believe that there could not be a better way for this occasion.I'm sure MJ wouldn't want to see his legion of die-hard fans cry and I bet he would have been glad so see he sight of people celebrating is life around the world.God bless Michael Jackson.You've thrilled us all,showed us the good in life,lived it dangerously and came out on top and beat all the odds.You are a legend.

Now,I think I'll continue with this post tomorrow because I gota go for another tournament tomorrow and it's late.However I'll promise you I'll get some good updates to my blog and HOPEFULLY,you'll get to see my face for the 1st time in 6 months..

Poetry:Love potions

Something just made me post this one barely hours after my last.XD Oh well,'ll just blabber away at what I could think of.

I'm not mentioning much about my tennis,and I'm not saying I'm a good player.Currently my "career" in Australia stands at a mediocre 3-3.Yes people,I win one,lose one,generally against the top seeds.I'm not a seeded player yet,but I hope to by next year and progress through the rankings.What can you expect?Hewitt's No.1 in Australia,duh...

Anyways,my most recent tournament was on Saturday,and it actually was abandoned due to rain.How did I go?Not too shabby,not too swashbuckling either.

It was a round robin format and I had to play 4 matches in my pool.1st I took down some guy from BBC(no,not the British Broadcasting Channel or whatever name it's called)with a fairly good score.And guess what....he actually threw his rackt or hit it to the ground almost everytime I did a winner XD.Well,my winners weren't as hard as I did in practice,I don't know...I somehow incorporated les power and more spin to it.As usual,mum was her usual self,not even hinting any good points amongst the bad.....What did she say after that match?"Did ou know how many double faults you made?7,and that guy aced you TWICE YOU KNOW"I knew it was coming,but what she doesn't know it that both,in my own words,were pathetic flukes.He was simply serving around and somehow caught the lines.....so please,think of what'll you feel if I comment on something bad and you actually think you did something majestically.No,I'm not saying I did a great job,in fact I know it was below par,BUT AT LEAST SHOW SOME APPROVAL WILL YOU??!!ERGH......

I lost my next one.It wasn't much of a surprise to me because the guy was a leftie.And just to let you know,my whole career matches against lefties stands at an awful 1-5.I think it's safe to say that I have Severe Federer Tennis Syndrome,or SFTS XD.I kinda invented it.The symptom is often losing to left handers.Well,count the other lefties Federer plays besides Nadal :D.

And guess what?Next week I'm gonna play two more lefties.I've matched one and know what to do,and it so happens the one I lost is actualy the top seed for the upcoming tournament...so yeahh...him again,but I'd probably have to make sure he doesn't get REALLY ANNOYING.Period.He just survives everything I threw at him.....

Now what about the title for this post?Hmm...no idea really...here's a poem anyways:

Just For You by Brennaman Jones

Your smell fills the air I breathe,
Your beauty is all that I could see,
It is you who set me free,
And your presence completes me

So much pain is felt on days,
When you're not around,when you're away,
Often alone in bed I lay,
Weeping on the fact that together we could not stay

I've loved you sinced our eyes were met,
And I've changed since then,
From a cruel tyrant without mercy,
To an honest gentleman

I owe my heart to you,
But the damage has been done,
Words of me were widely spread,
And those with goodness none

But I shall not be beaten,
By my actions long ago,
I will prove to everyone,
That my evil I shall throw

I'm willing to sacrifice,
All my life for you,
And show to you I meant what I said,
That my love is true

Here I shall kneel,
And take your hand,
Will you marry me,
My dear Mary-Anne?

Well,you know,I'm pretty much a REAL softie,and I admit,I just simply love this poem.Charming,don't you think?

Anyways,it's like 2am in the morning now,so I'll just finish off by saying that I might put up a separate section for poems and all those stuff.I'm gonna create a poll and see what you all think about the idea,kays?Right,mum's gonna roar now,so bye!!

Cast Away

2009-06-22T20:02:00.000+10:00

Sorry if I made you all worried for not posting for some time but yeah,it's the hols,and I'm actually very busy.No holiday homework(great!!),haven't been reading lately(HONEST) and I'm actually playing tournaments week after week.So yeahh,after all,school tennis season's coming up,so I'm trying to make the 1st four(in my dreams,then again...).It's quite a tough call,and besides that,I might make it to the 16 A's team(not 15 because I'm in grade 11).

Anyways,my grades are still kinda average(not expecting too much..)but my geography has been deal a SERIOUS blow,thanks to my essay(which I didn't screw up,but human nature made me XD).

Here's why:To save the Murray-Darling Basin in Australia,authorities have come up with 3 different types of solutions:Community,state and national.Pick one and explain why.(*Note:1 of them is the correct one.Community is all good,state all bad and national so-so)

Guess what,I picked community and IT WAS WRONG.Teacher says she does understand why I chose itfrom what I wrote,but apparently I overlooked something:ka-ching $$ in politics.UGGGHHH!!!WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT MONEY??!!HUMANS ARE PATHETIC!!(Talking in an alien point of view).Thank you,Donald Trump for introducing the theme song for your "Apprentice" show with lyrics like"money,money,money,monnn-ney....MO-NEY!!"NOT!

Haha I don't mean to criticise the whole world for nature but you get what I mean XP no hard feelings okay?

I haven't read much books lately but I've been given an english assignment during the holidays to read a book called "Lord Of The Flies".O.O Weird title,I guess the main character's the Fly King LOL.Haven't read it yet,and when school re-opens,a DRAMA.NOOOOoOOOOOOO!!!I SO DO NOT WANT TO ACT(Still prefer backstage).

Anyways It's been 5 months since I left(Yes,I'm counting) and apparently I figure my post title is appropriate for this time XD.It also reminds me of the movie which has the same title("Cast Away",duh) starring Tom Hanks.I'm sure most of you know the movie.IT's actually REALLY good,now that I recall it.I still love the moment when his netball friend "Wilson" floats away and he shouts after it XD(Sports brands haha).

So what's next for me?Ummmm,more tennis,more posts for you guys and probably something nice to do :P.I'm currently gaming right now(no RPG's just GBA roms,so if you guys wanna have a talk,feel free.See you when I see you when I'm officially an Australian citizen(blehkz) in 2011(hopefully).

Guys,I REALLY do need your help here because I have a SUPERFLOUS problem...

I ran out of novels to read.....

Sure,sure,what the big deal,no?Unfortunately for me I've strangely(yes,to be precise,strangely) grown to love novels and after finishing the Twilight series(WHAT??!!)today,I just felt I've nothing left to conquer(you know,like how Alexander thought of Europe).So yeahh,if there's anything,ANYTHING that's a seriously good reading material,PLEASE do not waste a minute.Turn on your computer,send an e-mail at kakashi626@hotmail.com with your list of recommended books.I know it sounds crazy,but I've practically read the most popular ones and my next object of desire,Vampire Academy's 4th book "Blood Promise" will NOT be out come August.*sigh*
Ah well,just to make sure,here are the list of books I've read:

Twilight Series
Darren Shan
Vampire Academy
Michael Crichton Novels
Pride and Prejudice
Love Cuts
Romeo Of Tne Underworld
My Place
Eragon
Stoker's Bay
Tales Of Beetle The Bard
Stephen King novels
Maximum Ride 1 & 2

That's all I could muster but surely you might have some suggestions,so yeahh.....can't bear the prospect of having my 1 month hols doing nothing....

Anyways I'll just put in review for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn,books 3 and 4 of the Twilight series.

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
3.5/5
Now that Edward's back,everything hould be back to normal,or so.....
Looks like someone's out for revenge,amassing an army in the city.

I'd say this book is actually more on being outright hilariously absurd.Several tiresome cliches again(Ed and Bells,STOP KISSING TOO MUCH) but still manages to knock me out from time to time,such as the part where Bella's dad,Charlie thinks she's pregnant(parents......).And seriously,Bella's mom,Renee really doesn't seem to look hurt at all.I mean,18 years after conceiving his child,it seems as if there aren't any bond at all,ridiculous....But still,I could probably understand why some are attracted to Twilight:It's chemistry.Vampire and werewolf fight for human,human's special,human's a klutz XD(seriously,I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LONG SHE TOOK TO REALISE) and one of them has to concede......I'm not really into Twilight,just another reader.Besides,I actually found it easier to detach from this series compared to the others.

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer
4/5
1st one's kinda bland,the next one's melodramatic,Eclipse was the funny one,and this?Well,this is what you call a CHILLER(not thriller,vampires are SOOO gonna love me for this XD).Finally,all stuff came together.There were serious drawbacks though.I has no idea what those two lovey-dovey mismatched people were doing,especially with the bruises.....right,so that was how it happened?Gee,I thought it'd be saucy......It's utterly obnoxious XD,as for Emmett and Rosalie,breaking houses? O.O a supernatural "Mr and Mrs Smith" ?XD....Ok.....creepy.....NOOOOOOOOOO!!!Gee,there goes the "special factor" again....WHAT??!!YOU IDIOTIC MUTT!!NOW LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE CAUSED!!Grr,I thought the climax would be apocalyptic,but yeah,I was thrown offbalance at a twist.Still,this book could have spawned another continuation instead of just making the reader feel good straightaway.But stll,I think it was worth reading just to kill time,but not enough to make me cry over the fact that I finished it.

So what's next for me?hmmmmm,wait,why not write my own story?XD Trust me people,no vampires,werewolves or any supernatural beings (so far).

Next post:The Vampire Trio are put to the test,whcih will detrmine the outcome for the title "Best Vampire Novel Series" XD.Ciao!

Home again

2009-06-08T20:55:00.000+10:00

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....)

Stepping Up Against The Boys

2009-06-03T17:55:00.000+10:00

Weird title huh?

It's just something I'd like to talk about for this post but before that,lemme give you a recap of my week(Till today)

1)I still can't get over the fact that Rafa(Nadal) lost to Soderling(kudos and he's up against Gonzalez which I don't really care as long as one of em takes down that Swiss guy,but I prefer the hotshot Chilean)

2)I feel bad for Maria(Sharapova) but I'm sure she'll get back to the top.

3)I could talk about the French Open forever but I know when to stop :D

4)I finished Twilight(NOOOOOO!!!!GEORGE,HOW COULD YOU??!!)

5)New Moon,Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are with me as well(I don't know you ,George!!)

6)I've got tests(Annoying...)

7)I'm playing chess once more,and someone forgot to tell me I'm supposed to lose....XD

Well that's all.A review for Twilight will come later(Love it or hate it)

Now,the title doesn't mean that I'm a girl,mind you,but a particular event on a bus ride which REALLY irked me....I'll just get straight to the story

I was on the bus home today.And there were a couple of rowdy students(Nudgee,duh...) older than me(education level wise,they vary,some senior,some juniors) and were the type of normal Ozs,you know,like no holding back over swearing and all the mischief.Believe me,someone was pressing the button at each and every bus stop when NO ONE gets out.ERGH,what imbeciles(oops)....they're practically the most immature bunch of people I HAVE EVER SEEN.I mean,WHY CAN'T THEY BEHAVE ??!!I WONDER WHAT'LL THEY DO IF THEY WERE THE DRIVERS......Geez,bet they weren't gentlemanly enough to think of that...I'm not saying I'm a nice person,it's just absolutely,Freakishly,HUGEly,STUPENDOUSLY IMMATURE!!And that's not the main event,but the next one is....

At one particular bus stop,there were a bunch of girls(don't expect me to think of them as "pretty" because I've no time for anything nowadays) from another school.And the Nudgee bunch I was talking about were like hollering at them(probably lewd stuff,but I assure you there wasn't a hint of good.I only caught one of em shouting:"Don't get on the bus" through the window in some kind of raspy voice).I have to admit,wearing what they're wearing(the uniform) makes me feel disgusted at myself.Why do I have to be in this "prestigious"(correct my english if I'm wrong) school where the standard of "idiocracy" is high??The fact that the bunch of Nudgees have the guts to shout obscenities at the girls from another school shows that the school I'm in is probably "uncivilised" in terms of society.

And guess what I did:NOTHING.I'm feeling bad about this,really...because there might be things I would have done:
a)Tell them to stop and risk being picked on or worse,a brawl
b)Practically leave the bus

Both options are in my terms,stupid.I'm not a person who's willing to take sides,nor act,but for this one,I'm truly against the bunch that call themselves Nudgee.If only I had courage to probably stand up,but you all know me,weak,cowardly....I guess that's who I am and what I'll be.I don't like the prospect of being the "knight in shining armour"(never did,plus I don't like seeing people as damsels in distress) as well,and I don't wanna get involved in any clashes.Nothing suits me in this situation(except a bystander).Life here's still something I'm not gonna cherish....

Bah!!Forget the talk,time for Twilight
Rating: 3.5/5
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be,nor was it extraordinarily eye-catching.Too many usage of "I love you"(really,even the most faithful couldn't utter that much in a lifetime XD)and lots of cliches.Still,it was pretty ok,minus the stupid vampire myths.Shining in the sun:LAME

I'm currently reading New Moon now,and I have to admit,it's getting more tiresome.Plus,without Edward things aren't right.....

I'll probably reviw New Moon on the next post.But till then,I've got a tennis tourney to go to,and where else would it be other than the Gold Coast.Nope,no Surfer's Paradise or Miami Beach(REALLY,NOT JUST FLORIDA) for me,but smacking down tennis balls.

Gotta go,soups on and so's work.

George

Make it a point to thank the Lord

2009-05-26T23:52:00.000+10:00

O.O George going to church??!!

Well,no,not really.It's just that I might be slightly happier,thanks to some talking with an extremely supportive friend of mine.And besides that,this title means that I've got song lyrics for you...

"Everything Is Fine" by Josh Turner
I got a home down on the river
I'm married to the woman of my dreams
Got a good truck that gets me down the highway
Everything is perfect or so it seems
Momma and daddy come by sometimes
And everything is fine

My old dog does a little singing
Late at night when the moon gets bright
Sunday morning hear the church bells ringing
Let us go and see who's getting baptized
We gonna take us a Sunday drive
Cause everything is fine

Everything is fine, fine, fine
Through the sunshine and the rain
I got a peace of mind
You know I can't complain
I make it a point to thank the Lord
When I got Him on the line
I'm feeling good and everything is fine

Got the same job down at the warehouse
Ain't never been rich but I sleep at night
Got a little girl that looks like her mamma
She likes it when her daddy tucks her in real tight
One night this week we're gonna have a fish fry

Cause everything is fine, fine, fine
Through the sunshine and the rain
I got a peace of mind
You know I can't complain
I make it a point to thank the Lord
When I got Him on the line
I'm feeling good and everything is fine
Wahoo!!

I make it a point to thank the Lord
When I got Him on the line
I'm feeling good and everything is fine
I'm feeling good and everything is fine

Now,besides that,I've got 2 other rockin' new songs to recommend.They're Green Day's "Know Your Enemy"(Simply rockin' awesome) and Linkin Park's "New Divide"(Soundtrack of Transformers 2.What could you expect?They ended the 1st one with a Linkin Park number,so it's to be expected,no?).

This is probably the shortest update so far,and I've just heard you guys got 2 days left till mid-year ends...ARGH!!I'm so jealous right now because I'll have assignments and tests next month(before a full month holiday xd).Keep in touch with me alright?I miss you all.

Can't breathe without you,
Georgie

Vanishing into the mist

2009-05-23T22:22:00.000+10:00

Rain,rain,go away
Come again another day;
Little(*gasp!!*)Georgie wants to play,
Go away,you Rain Of May.

Hehe,a little new twist to a kiddy song :D

Looks like everybody's been busy on their tests lately.All I have to say is Gambateh(literally,all the best)!!I'm having some rest in between the tests so yeahh,but it's like sooo boring having to wait for the next one.Just finished my geo,and I FEEL GUILTY.No,I didn't cheat,but helped once(grr,that was the no.1 guy(I'm no.2) in 1st test asking me....Making me feel sooo bad I wanna beat myself up) and also witnessed almost all cheating methods IN THE BOOK(peeking through blazer,discussion,hand notes,mobiles??Pathetic,I love CHMS because there's less of those,like almost 0%).*sigh*No wonder Aussies overexcelled at sports...

Surprise,surprise,I've temporarily given up reading....well,fiction ones of course,but not about human phsycology.Let's see,I'm reading a book called "No Body's Perfect" which tells of stories about people who were scrutinized about their non-curvy body(No idea where did boy stuff go,mostly it's about girls,and the book cover is PINK =.=).Besides that,I'm on WWII tanks,then about relationships(No,I'm not in one,just reading.I made up a "Mid-Year" resolution not to get involved with one,and I won't do so until I FEEL RIGHT,which means most probably not now,not in school times,and in my current state of mind,not EVER) and personalities.

Anyways,without further ado,I promised my 10 favourite songs of all time,didn't I?So then,let's get going!*Note:Sniff ratings are introduced,the higher,the more tearful I get XD

10)"I Feel Good " by James Brown(1960's-1970's)
The Godfather of Soul enters this list at No.10.One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century definitely made me feel GREAT!!
Favourite Line:So good!So good,I've gotten YOU!!
*Sniff rating:0/10 (Gotta believe me,this song just makes you go crazy)

9)"With Or Without You" by U2(1980's)
Still going strong after over 25 years is showbusiness and with the release of their latest album earlier this year,"No Line On The Horizon"(I think that's the name),we'll see more of them,like it or not.....They were born to sing for us :D
*Sniff rating:7.5/10

8)"As Long As You Love Me" by Backstreet Boys(Circa 1997-1998)
Ok,ok,I know people are crying out loud that this song shouldn't have made this list,but yeah,I just love em during the old days.That Pearlman dude...ergh...Well,at least BB managed a comeback with songs like "Incomplete" or "Inconsolable"(Which I might have added).I think they're split up now....So sad...
Favourite line:I don't care who you are,where you're from,what you did,as long as you love me....
*Sniff rating:8/10

7)"I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith (1998)
Gee,it was really such a VERY long time before Aerosmith caught my eye.What was Tyler thinking spending years being high??!!Probably saving his vocals for this tear-jerker...
Favourite lines:I don't wanna close my eyes,I don't wanna fall asleep,because I miss you baby,and I don't wanna miss a thing...
*Sniff rating:9/10

6)For You I Will by Teddy Geiger(Circa after 2005)
This song is considered new in the list,but it deserves to be here,mainly just because of it's simplicity.Just one guitar to make a melodious song...love ya Teddy!(Bear XD)
Favourite line:Nothing seems to be,nothing is sweet as what I can't have...
*Sniff rating:6/10 (It's practically a cheer-up song to me)

5)Hero by Chad Kroeger(I think)(1990's)
It's been a long time since I last heard this song,but I do recall it made me grab some tissues in a movie....
Favourite line:I can stand by you forever,and you can't take my breathe away(I forgot the lines XD I think this one's right)
*Sniff rating:7/10

4)Breaking Free by Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens (Circa 05-06)
Ok people,you are allowed to kill me for this XD,but I'd say THIS WAS THE BEST DUET I'VE EVER HEARD.No need for explanations,just either agree with me or you don't XD.
Favourite lines(I've memorised the whole thing,so I might write down everything,but I've made my choice):Can you feel it building,like a wave the oceans just can't control.Connected by our feelings,oooh in our very souls....
*Sniff rating:9/10(NOT GIVING IT A 10,almost did...)
Ok then,there were some shockers,but I'm sure you all are glad HSM didn't get to the top right XD??You probably have heard of the top 3,but they're all pretty old,the oldest being almost my dad's age(what??!!) and the most recent around 05-06..

3)Lips Of An Angel by Hinder(2005)
Back in Brunei this song was at No.1 for 5 straight weeks in a certain chart I couldn't remember.I used to hate it but after some time it sounded really touching.SHOULD NOT MISS THIS SONG.
Favourite line:It's really good to hear your voice,saying my name it sounds so sweet.Coming from the lips of an angel,here are those words that makes me weak:"Let it die" Never wanna say goodbye,but how you make it hard to be fading for,with the lips of an angel....(Once again,I screwed up with the lyrics...)
*Sniff rating:8.5/10(Honey,why are you calling me so late??!!LOL)

2)When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating(Around 1999)
I am sooo mesmerised right now....it's been over 10 years,yet it feels so recent...I'd guess I am in some trouble right now....
Favourite lines(Memorised all...):The touch of you hand let's you catch me wherever I fall........You say it best....When you say nothing at all...
*sniff rating:9.5/10(waaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!)

And now....
#1
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling by The Righteous Brothers (1960's)
Ok,now that was unexpected.REALLY,I didn't really remember till a few days ago when I thought of Tom Cruise in a movie.I was like:"oh yeah that one!!"I'm still whistling it like 7,8 times a day haha.
Favourite lines(Can I have 2 please? LOL)
:You never close you eyes anymore when I kiss your lips...Ther's no tenderness like before in your fingertips....
And the line I'd most LOVE to use from this song XD:Baby,babyI'd get down on my knees for you....If you would only love me,I'd give it to you...
*Sniff rating:0/10(Please,I'm over Pluto right now... XD)

Sayy,I'd dead from turning red haha,ok then...I guess I gotta go.Hmm,I think I'll add my top 5 favourite cuisines as well...Ciao!!

Timeline,The Final Countdown

2009-05-20T21:29:00.000+10:00

Hey guys sorry for the long delay.It's juts I've been having stress and all so bear with me yeah??

First of all:Weather Report:RAIN IS BRISBANE FROM TUESDAY TILL WEEKEND!!YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!Yes,apparently it hasn't been raining for like a month now and suddenly Brisbane had it's wettest May on record...Hmmm...was it caused by a person from Brunei who migrated here?LOL probably haha.

Next up,I'm really not happy with mum invading my privacy.Yesh,apparently she's not content enough with access to my gwws1994 e-mail(she doesn't have her own,grrr).She practically asked for my normal one,and I just had to dodge that by well,dodging.Seriously,she can't stop poking her nose into my stuff....first my room(I can't do what I wanna do.You know,reading??),now my e-mail....what's next??!!

Geez,it's seriously a headache if a person doesn't have time alone.I mean,I think sometimes it's best to leave things as they are,not come barging in demanding to know everything.

Harrumph!!Well,I'm onto something that many people are gonna hate me for:I'M READING TWILIGHT.Here's a timeline depicting all the drama so far.

Tuesday 19/05/2009

11.50am English period
Went to library for english,and noticed a book depicting two hands holding a red apple.Snatched it and began to read...

12 noon
Haven't started yet.Taking papers from teacher for assignment due June

12.05pm
FINALLY!!Huh?What's the 1st page about?*flips page*I'M LOST HERE!!(Current rating:2/5)

12.15pm
Long intro...(Rating:3/5)

12.20pm
Ahh,who's who in the Cullens?They all gorgeous??!!Can't help chuckling..(3/5)

12.30pm
Hmm,met Edward.I'm beginning to smile.(3.5/5)

12.35pm
School day finishes in book.Still smiling.(3/5)

12.40pm
45 pages gone.Sleeping suddenly.Still 10 mins left to lunch

12.50pm
Huh?huh?!!Oh break....

12.55pm
Returns from washroom and continues Twilight.Erbie,friend from Grade 8 holding Shan's Demonata.Talks about how so-so Twilight is and how bad the ending was.Curiousity envelops me.Continues talking about books for next 30 mins while reading.Recomended my fav.

1.20pm
Up to part where Ed saves Bella fom Tyler.Smiling..Too good to be true and heard this scenario tons of times(3/5)

1.30pm
Times up.Continue Twilight tomorrow....

Wednesday 20/5/2009
Before school
Reading again,reached part where Mike,Tyler and Edward asked Bella out,with no success.Smiling.(3.5/5)

Recess
Bella goes out shoping with 2 other girls.Ed is there,as usual,just about anywhere she goes,he follows.Still smiling.(3/5)

Lunch
Bella and Ed goes out to woods.Continuous description of how gorgeous Ed is.Still smiling.STories like this aren't sweet,but hilarous.In other words,not really good,but chuckles kept the ratings up.

So far:(3.5/5)

OkayyI'll drop down a few book ratings as well..

1)The Tales Of Beetle The Bard by J.K Rowling(3 stars)
Folk stories written by DumbledoreIt's short and nice,but for kids.Picked out of curiousity,enjoyed it,but it's too short...

2)Prey by Michael Crichton(3 1/2 stars)
Nanobots gone wild.They're super intelligent as well,and they're taking over...

Crichton's techno thrillers are constantly gripping,but being a fan,I've gotten used to it.Hence,this book isn't really full of surprises,as long as you keep your guard up.

3)Timeline by Michael Crichton(4 stars)
Team of scientists excavating in France were sent to rescue their leader who mistakenly went back to the Hundred Year's War between France and England after curiousity led him to discover a "time machine"(forgot what they call it,something to do with quantum physics)after a meeting with a billionare in the US who funded the excavation.

Now this is something new from Crichton.Time travel,parallel universe,paradox....whew,loads for me,but it's cool.Just simply love the theories(you know,the weird ones...).And yep,I agree,we're weaker than the humans of the middle ages in terms of strength.As for languages,I've probably picked up a little French and Latin XD

To be reviewed soon:Eragon(And it's not looking good...)

To kill the one I love

2009-05-11T20:31:00.000+10:00

Don't be fooled by the title,it's just a line from a book I've read recently,and it's RRRREEEEAAALLLLLYYYY GOOD.

Anyways nothing much to report today,except I have english assignment tomorrow and need to pass up my Religion report(grrrr).Besides that,I cheer myself up by reading books(when will I ever stop...) and cooled off a little(but still snappy).

This post is gonna be short but I'll just talk about the coming posts:

1)I'm gonna name My Top 10 favourite songs of ALL time (Borig topic I know..)
WHAT I MAY INCLUDE:Probably the songs you don't wanna hear
WHAT I WON'T INCLUDE:The most recent ones(Too bad "Love Story"....)

2)My top 10 favourite movies of all time,so far.... (Franchises count as 1 just to be fair)
WHAT I MAY INCLUDE:I'm no straightforward action dude.Be in for some shocks.I love rom-coms.....
WHAT I WON'T INCLUDE: NO HSM,Eragon or a few fantasy movis because I think they're just not good enough.Also,no Gone WIth The Wind,The Sound Of Music or Casablanca or some other classics because I don't watch em XP

3)Book Series Battle Royale
Monster mashing up,but I'll just list out all the series I've read(including Twilight,I'm gonna read it just to make sure I get all the corners covered.)
I'll create a poll,so vote if you like.Probably there'll be some that's unknown to you.
To make it fair as well,I'll take ONLY 1 series from each author.

Anyways,books anyone?

1)Vampire Academy:Shadow Kiss (5 stars)
I just had to break that 4 1/2 star barrier XD.This is the best I've read so far.To lose the one you love and the one that loves you.To fight against one's wishes and to fight for it,simply just brought me out of depresion.My teachers know I've been reading,and my bio,Mr. Bird(No fooling,cool dude,just don't get too noisy and don't make fun of his name),after noticing I had a big smile while focusing on the pages :"I can see that's a really good book.""YES SIR!"

I finished it and became depressed once more.....as if I'm like the character in the book who was shadow kissed (but we're of different gender,mind you).The 4th book is coming out in 3 months so yeahhh.....long wait

2)Maximum Ride:School's Out Forever (4 stars)
Better than the 1st one,but still,the names puzzle me.....And enemies called Erasers(not made of that material,they're wolves,with wings now...)?Nothing much to say about it,it's just some weird sci-fi novel that has a magnet to it...

Okay,time to go.And just to let you all know,I'm always there(if there was a hologram or some teleport machine).......

xoxxoXooOxxOOx,lol

Where'd I Go

2009-05-06T17:23:00.000+10:00

*yawn*You know,I've been REALLLLY stressed out lately so I might probably pos up less often.Basically my antidepressant is just books(never get tired of 'em.Gotta read em all!)And I've found some new goodies and also probably a story to tell.

Why not the story 1st?Yesh,it involves me geting really p*ssed off at someone.

I'm in maths class (still on F4 recap mode but there's something new about it) and my buddy beside me,James(not my dad) was like pushing my books towards the edge of the table.And it tipped over.He was like :"Oops!Sorry..."Frankly,he did this on purpose,but I didn't really mind.But he soon touched my nerves when he actually repeated the same thing again,twice in fact.I'm not usually a hothead,and I like my nick to be Iceman(George "Iceman"Wong?Nah,George "Georgie" Wong sounds better XD),but I directed a glare at his still smiling face:
"You do that agin,you pick em up.I'm really not in the mood right now"

And if that wasn't enough,the next day in maths once more,he asked me:"Are you still mad at me?" I was reading a book(since I've finished my work,supposedly homework and there's nothing left to do) and you know,I don't really like being distracted.But seriously,he's absolutely,totally wayyyy more immature than I am(I'm not saying I'm a full adult,it's just that he's acting like a baby.Note:He's not helping me to be a daddy and I'm not in the mood for girls.)So I was like:"Get over with it"and he replied:"Why?"

The question "why" I would say is the most irritating question I've heard.Mum asks it when she doesn't know what's going on(and soon makes her own assumptions and insists that she's right without hearing the full picture) and as for James,ARGH.I replied the same thing and he asked again,5 times in total,the other 3 when I'm ignoring him.If it was an atlas book I was reading,I'd gladly break his nose and risk detention(as if I were dumb enough to do that).

One thing I don't like about James is that he's one of those "grabbing teacher's attention" type.He'd practically ask kiddy questions,and I'd say I'm pretty unfortunate to have him as my seatmate.On the other hand,Duke,who like James is a Korean,is more of a wise guy.Amazing how friendship works,huh?

Hmm,books.....boookkkkkkkkssssss.....LATEST VICTIMS

1)Darren Shan 7-9 (4 1/2 stars)
It just got better,all the twist and turns.Teacher and student romanc?ewwwww,but yeah,I feel bad for Darren.And CRESPLEY....NOOOOOOOO!!!!!YESSSSS!!!!!Great,one wasted chapter on making me happy and dropping me down to the spikes next....where did Mika and Arrow go??(Paris went to Paradise.There goes the Eiffel Tower XD)

2)Darren Shan 10-12( 4 1/2 stars)
Reunions are weird.Darn that Steve......and hu-ha!!Fights!!Love Cormac Limbs XD.Tempted fate and didn't die,but have two extra eyes to cry.The ending wasn't really good,a bit of a drag perhaps....

3)Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (3 1/2 stars)(RECOMMENDED EVEN FOR TWILIGHT HATERS e.g probably me)
It starts slowly,but picks up during the middle.....Feeding blood better than s*x?O.O Weird....charming,17 yr old Rose falls for 24 yr old instructor,Dimitri and someone has a crush on her,plus a rumour spreader who tries to mix in with the royals,and Rose's best friend,Lissa(with 2 's' really),who's a special in something magical.
The names are quite a handful,but good stuff.DON'T MISS IT

4)Vampire Academy:Frostbite by Richelle Mead(4 1/2 stars)(MUST CONTINUE THIS SERIES)
Lovely,simple awesome,and I might take ages to finish,but I'll take out the plot.Academy goes on skiing trip,enemies appear and Rose and the gang chase em down.GO GIR.....*ahem*why are boys soooo sidekicks?XP

5)Maximum Ride:The Angel Experiment(3 stars)
It's a decent start from the No.1 International bestselling author James Patterson,but I'd say it passed the bar I set in order to continue.6 kids,98% human,2% birds,not angels,althoughone of the is called Angel.You know the protocol:Experimentation of humans.....still,I'm hangin around to find out....

The end for now...Ta-ta!
