slipping behind

Update on the haps at th mo!

Squash

Most recent tourny hosting by my club i made the top div's final but lost 3-2 to a fellow team mate was a good game!

Recently Played a B grader in interclub who is way ahead of me (ive beaten him once) who is pretty queer actually he blaintantly cheats, like doesnt call double bounce and even when the ball hit the tin he wouldnt admit it to the ref! i was up 2 nil but after this crap started happening i got so angry was going to just walk off court. I dont know whether hes just dumb or does it on purpose aye and hes a teacher? pfft. great example. The game ended up going to the 5th set which i lost 15/11 but i still feel cheated because you win the point when your opponent cant get to the ball or it double bounces before they get it but how do you beat someone who actually hits it on the 2nd bounce and doesnt admit to it that he didnt get it like you are supposed to?? you have to be honest in squash especially when the ref hasnt got the best eyes. I ended up confronting him on court after the game and said "bro so many of those balls were down that you didnt call this is such bulls***!!" I talked to my team mates afterwards and even they said so many of the balls were down bla bla. so frustrating!

This made me want to quit interclub which i eventually have now because its too hard to play really good during the week after not sleeping much. Like id be up 2 nil in most games then lose to amatuers 3-2 just because i get too tired. so instead of just throwing my points away im just doing tournaments. Next weekend being eliminations which will decide if we go to nationals or not and then palmy the weekend after which should be mean! its a PSA recognised tourny i think which means for the top players the points will go towards their world rankings so some big names should be there hopefully! expecting the top 10 in NZ to show up. Was going to go just to watch if i didnt play anyway, should be a mean weekend either way staying with the mrs and her mates!

Looking at getting a racket i used to use, again. Hopefully can find one in nz somewhere then will probably get back into squash next year but will see how the year folds out with work etc as we are going to be getting busier and its hard to play my best with the hours i do so my goal might have to be put on hold ha ha.


WORK

Going really good me and my mate are boosting the workload out in about 4 1/2 hours (proving time not including) so roughly after 7 hours were fully done, bakery full and out the back cleaned which is pretty good! still get paid for 8 hours to :)







Sleep

Getting better sleeps for now! trying to get at least 6 hours during the day then im fine and a couple before work at night if im tired. got the old eye mask and ear plugs going on! had enough of my sister and her thumping music keeping me awake all day! i also put my mink blanket over my curtains to make my room as dark as possible to trick my body into thinking its night time hahaha.

the eye mask bahaha usually i wake up and its not even on anymore lol

And my earplugs yes theyre pink theyre from mum haha. they work good.
Whos that handsome chap!?

Work hard play hard

Well on this lazy monday im pretty bored so decided to dust the cobwebs off my blog and bring it back to life haha. This is what ive been upto..

I have nearly achieved my 3 + year goal of making B grade in squash which should be mission accomplished this weekend with interclub and our club hosting a tourny. Now that i have adjusted to my hours in my job (mostly) i am playing my best ive ever played and have results to show..1st place in the havelock open div 1 where i was ranked number 3 in my draw. My 1st game was a struggle against an un orthodox lefty hitting fluke shots with some poor reffing to accompany it. the next opponent i had to play who is in my interclub team had a huge win over the number 2 and was really cocky so i went out and smashed him 3/0 with no remorse. Feeling confident for the final against the number 1 who is a B grader i got the 1st 2 sets easy until the 3rd set where the reffing turned to sh!t and i got pushed over on purpose and my racket got hit outta my hand twice and the refs did nothing which left me soo pissed off i nearly walked off court. The game went to 5 and i got there in the end, just. If i had of lost that game i was ready to complain to tournament organisers about the opponents actions on court and how pathetic the reffing was, even had members from the crowd to back me up. A really big win though since not many people have beaten that dude. 80 bux and a $20 hawkes bay seafood voucher for my prize. Woulda preferred cash but ah well ended up using it to buy tea for me, my gf and her family only to find out they gave us the wrong fish..stupid idiots!

 Interclub squash has been a walkover so far me playing no.1 for our team ive smoked most people cept for a couple mainly due to tiredness and bein outplayed. Last week i was on last so got on court round 9.30pm and beat the napier teams number 1 who is B grade, 3/0. telling my team thats how its done after they all lost lol.

The recent hawkes bay open was a good test being ranked at 2/16 in div 1 winning my 1st 2 games easy then winning my semi easyish after playing hockey allthough i had to struggle with cramp. By the time sunday rolled round my body was pretty sore and i had to play the guy i played in the havy final. Nearly stretched the game to 5 but i went down 3/1 but was a good game both of us were stuffed did so much running. happy with how i played though. $75 2nd place.

Currently sitting 30 points off B grade which is 2 wins basically and ranked 4th in my club which is all goodz.

Finding time to do things around the hours i work gets hard at times for instance on a friday night a start at midnight and finish around 9am then have to get about 3 hrs sleep in then get up to play hockey in the arvo which aint going to good..our team is playing cabbage as not thinking when on the field. The reffing in the comp is crap and frustrates a lot of people including myself ive had a red card for something the ref thought he saw and then a yellow the other week for calling the ref blind hahaha but i had good reason to and will happily tell him to his face again how blind he is! i think im also our teams leading goal scorer which is pretty sweet but thinking bout stopping playing our changing my days of work so im not so stuffed on a sat night.

As long as i get bout 5-6 hours sleep in the day time im allgood to do things at night but its hard to sleep for that long sometimes and i usually need another sleep before work at night time. Its funny how during the week i stay up all night and work but when it comes to the weekend i can hardly stay up late anymore it sux lol definitly looking for a 6am-2.30pm job in the future i reckon those r the best hours to work, anything would be easy after doing my hours! except working till later than 5pm on any day stuff that soo lame! Baking is a fun job though loving it always wanting to improve things or get faster because remember its about working smarter not harder! <--- thats one of my fav quotes i 1st heard it off theme park world on PS1 when i was building theme parks lol

On a down note, a few weeks ago i lost my bracelet that my gf got me for my birthday last year. i dont know where i lost it but have a feeling it fell out of my work bag which has a tiny hole. Ive looked everywhere! searched through everything i have but i havnt lost hope yet i want it to turn up. i even wrote into a psychic in a new idea or wateva mum reads to see if i get a reply but none yet lol so gonna keep doing that, they might give me an idea who knows! just wish i could go back in time and put it sumwhere else cause i usually take it off at work and put it in my bag but dunno where it has gotton to if it fell out :( i feel bad about it but fingers crossed 1 day it shows up so i can wear it again :)

I had some pics to put up on here but they arent going to my email from phone so maybe another time they each have there own little story to go with ha.

Looking forward to getting my tax back like $380 bux! mean!

Membership on gym is on hold coz jetts gym sux pretty sure its the cause of my back injury. their equipment is like plastic! will probly quit altogether once the month is up. Would rather do my own personal fitness.

We listen to the Rock at work all the time so ive been getting back into my rock music and always play this song its so mean i reckon! even learnt the main riff on guitar the other night yeeeya. ( if it doesnt work just type it in on youtube.)


SO keen to hit up taupo one weekend and get a motel with a spa and lax all weekend yeeeah :)

I discovered this song by Kolohe Kai not long ago to its pretty sweet chilled out with a bit of meaning..


Anyways thats what ive been up to lately might get back into blogging if i can be bothered ha chur

a few of my whips

Some of my cars iv owned..always wanting something new haha thinking what to get next..

1st car i got when i was 15 was my toyota corolla was a pretty sweet little car but i dont have pics ha its around the hawkes bay somewhere still i think.. Next car was the pulsar..


Nissan Pulsar Autech 1996
Mean little car was fast as, 2L engine, higher compression, extractors, bigger cams bla bla handled like a rally car!
  

Then came the civic! Saved up heaps for this little beast. 1.6 litre vtec nothing done to the engine but the body was done up heaps. mags,lowered,angel halo lights and crystal lights, momo steering wheel,big bore, full sounds. gaaangsta. Miss this car ended up wanting a bigger car so i sold it..

For this sucker! the crunchie bar Subaru legacy 1999 GT Twin turbo
dam this was quick, was my 1st automatic as well just liked the look of it but it got too expensive on gas so it had to go lol


And then came the Honda integra 97, needed something asap so quickly purchased this from wellywood for cheap. goes hard and is really good on gas but thinking bout chucking it on trademe see if theres any interest!

All up i think all my cars put together come to $24000 farrrr out!

 Overall i like my civic the best, wish i kept it! i remember the day i was driving it to its new owner and i was thinking this car is actually pretty mean!


Which is ur fav?
