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.
LIFE
Heres an awesome pic that my gf drew of me haha talented eh? x

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.)

3 times 5!
1st of all excuse my use of tense i right in i usually mix it up in the past or present cant be bothered being a nerd and correcting it to make sense, after all i dont go to school anymore no teachers gonna check it!..lol
What a weekend.. After about 2 hours of sleep after work we headed off to MataMata for the Squash Tourny. My game time was at 9pm, earliest out of the whole bunch. Ranked 2nd of out 8 in my draw i played a 15 yr old who i won easily against in Hamiltion not long ago. Started off good gettting the 1st set but playing like crap! sooo exhausted and all we ate was a burger and a few chips from some little shop because MataMata town is useless! The Countdown and New World were shut at 8pm what the hell aye? so only options were takeaways. I lost the 2nd set then 3rd..playing sooo bad worst i think ive ever played in my life not getting length off shots and tinning a lot. Down 13-8 in the 4th just 2 points away from the worst loss in my life i nearly gave up but kept the pressure on and my opponent folded. i managed to get up and win 16/14 to make the game go to 5 sets. fairly even until the 10 point mark i took off and won 15/11 in the 5th. What a relief, what a lucky win. I put this win down to experience, i have been in that position soo many times compared to the young buck i played. With so many entries, the last game happened to be one of crews games so we didnt get out til after 1am.
4.30 was my game time but we didnt get on court till about 5.45..stupid. Nothings worse then waiting around to play. I was up against another 15/16 yr old who is a giant i played in hamilton and lost to. i won the 1st set only just 20/18. lost the 2nd toooo tired. I had an argument with the ref who is in the top 10 in NZ but was making realy bad calls. dickhead. 3rd went to me but i didnt think i had much left in the tank. I pretty much threw the 4th set after i couldnt get anything going. 5 setter again. I couldnt get off to a good start but managed a comeback from when he was up 13-9ish. 12-14 down and i got to 13-14 then 14-14 (gotta win by 2) two weak shots and he takes the game 16/14 but was a really good game! soo long went for well over an hour. Could of went either way but i bet no one expected me to make such a huge comeback at the end, even his dad came and shook my hand and said how nervous he was watching haha. A lot of people told me the reffing was really bad in the game but i didnt blame that i was happy with the game. (Mike ends up winning the final of my draw 3/0 the next day.)
Quiet night in, waking up to snoring, crap sleep thats how sat night went ha. Was going to get up and drive to hamilton at like 1am because we were wide awake. 10am stupid hotel lady came in and said we have to get out right now because they were so busy when there was only 2 cars in the whole lodge? pfft.
Special plate final 12.45. Up against some retard who was way below me and played silly shots for C grade level frustrated the F*** outta me! At one point i even said "Is this C grade of F grade" lost the 1st set to him getting lucky, got the 2nd,lost the 3rd, fought hard to get the 4th. ANOTHER 5 setter. I started the set off not good but managed to get a lead then lost it but regained it. Winning 15/10 i think in the end was good. I mumbled a few words to him at the end because of his crap shots he was playing. If i didnt win that i would have been close to throwing squash in. The dude was a nice guy but everyone knows on court whatever happens on there stays on there. 3rd place was a good finish, $60 pretty useless prize for a $7grand spread of prizes! the bottom div's (div 8 and lower. i was in div 3) were getting $120 for 1st and other high prizes for others places which i dont agree on. the top div's should be getting higher money prizes since you have to be good enough to make the top ones! You could be real sneaky and just drop grades to win the money easy but then your not getting anywhere. I think the Top mens open draw winner got $750 which isnt actually that much for that level of play but cant complain. Good tourny overall! should be a tiny gain of points. Really made me think about whether or not to keep playing or not though. Its hard to keep up at this level where you need to be training at least 3 times a week to be good. However im joining the gym this week with a gym buddy ;) and am going to try get some fitness in a couple of times a week as im adjusting to my work hours finally. With hockey starting this weekend also that will keep me fit.
Ive decided to pull out of the Te puke Open in easter to play the Hawkes bay Open instead so i can work instead because we will be busy making hundreds of hot cross buns! and so i can have a long weekend. Other tournies coming up after that are my clubs' hosting the Hastings open and then the Central open (Palmy) could be likely.
Chur Chur!!
