1 week flew by where Gynette was spenindg her vacation over here. I feel guilty not bringing her out much, probably only about 4 out of 7 days last week. Felt kinda tired in the beginning half of the week with reports and tests due so kinda shitty but whatever. However, all these short meetings with each other once every few months really allows us to bond together and keep the relationship going. I might possibly book flights to go over in August.. we'll see.

Also watched Money not enough 2 today. Oh my, I was so touched by the movie even though i thoughti t was suppose to be a comedy. Damn the ending left me tearing up bad cause it makes me feel kinda sad how my mom is alone at home. I hope that in the future, I can earn shit loads of cash and my mom will be set for life and not have to worry about a single thing and do whatever she wants. Well I hope it sets me up for life too :D

Just wanted to tell my mom, my dad,my sis, my gf, my dog, my family and friends that I love everyone and I hope everyone is doing well! Peace out.

PS: ManUtd loss the finals but Barca deserved it. We played like shit, Barca definitely outleveled us.GG! Also Lakers are leading 3-2 in the conference finals, hoping to take it down in the next game!

Just brutal. Gonna keep working on my game. Feel like giving up sometimes but I need to hang in there. Hopefully I can get Nic or Kolja to review my hands when they are free.

Gyn is coming over this weekend, woo. Something to look forward to!

Also, canberra/GC trip almost completely planned and booked. Tickets are done, appointments at embassy done. Now just to do the health check appointments, and accomodation boookings. :)

Life is good... well at least better than poker...

Ugh, feeling kinda crappy atm. I will not bow down to mediocrity. I hate being insignificant. It seems poker is going nowhere and I am in a rough breakeven stretch. I would say there was a good amount of playing bad and like alot of times i tell myself to quit but I just wouldnt quit the session. I think I am going to really focus and go back to how I was playing when I first started playin the tagfish style. Been loosening up this week and its been good, but swingy when you dont hit your hands with combo draws. I gotta really ingrain myself that 3-5 bi downswings are nothing and are routine. I just have to worry about the long run. I felt kinda hopeless on friday cause of the badweek but my sister has given new found motivation when she accepted my race to 50k challenge. Haha. Her going through professional orthodox ways and me going to through the unorthodox route. I shall make it. For now, its back to putting in more effort, more hours, more reading, more reviewing, more hands, more thinking, more focus on playing different styles on different tables, less roboting, less automatic button clicking. I will make it. No... I must make it!

This led to me damaging my closet door cause i was too excited...trying to fix it now :S Feeling like an engineering student atm.

Back to fixing the door...

Omg, only played about 5k hands last week, way way less than what i targeted...slacked too much towards the weekend, cause we did a bunch of stuff. Friends came over, so there goes my time, everyone was chilling in my room so it was kinda distracting in some sense lol. Friday night went from a small drinking session with 1 bottle of chivas, to a bigger drinking session with 2 more bottles of vodka cause the neighbours got home and popped over with drinks and stuff. Met Ian, Ryan and Steven in the process which is awesome cause Ian was freaking funny when he was drunk. Constantly talk trash to his brother and trying to get the girls drunk.

Saturday night, Melbourne was still pouring and it was freezing. After pizza since we couldnt go grocery shopping, we had another LAN partyin my room. My room was so freaking messy no one bothered to help me clean up..Thanks guys! Oh God... so crowded. Well at least the heat from 7 bodies, 5 laptops and 1 desktop kept the room warm during this cold winter night.

Sunday ended up being a lacklustre day filled with stoning and Kurosagi. When Huailet and gang finally left, I finally set down and planned my activities for the coming week, which involves lots and lots of hours of poker. Oh and exam timetable is out. I have a pretty sick layout. Microecons on 16th, Physio on 19th and 26th, Jap on 29th, Gen on 30th. After that....Woohooo! Canberra and Goldcoast!

Oh did I mention, my lovely sis got her PR. That means that I can apply for sponsored PR! Woot. Now i just have to get to canberra and get all my other shit done and ready to send wwhen the exams transcripts are released. Pretty excited about life and exams atm. I love the feeling you get during exams, where you are just running on adrenaline and pressure for like 3 - 4 weeks. I feel that exams exist for a good reason, that is to constantly push people to reach new heights. Oh, one more thing. I will tell you how much I hate exams when it really arrives. Peace guys :)

Hopefully a positive update on poker in 7 days after i put in my hands :D

Hmmm change of mind. Might not be doing honours this mid year. Might be applying for TR instead so I gotta go to Canberra to get the police check done cause apparently Biochem doesnt have mid year intake. Waiting for the lecturer to reply to my query. half wishing i dont have to do honours in mid year. Kinda tired of studying.
Oh also, planning a trip to GC with my friends in July. Anyone interested, find me on msn! Also, thee catch is there will be a canberra detour! :p

Apart from that, assignments and tests have gone well I guess, wish I did better but I think I did ok. More time for poker for the rest of thr week and start getting my TR shit ready. Poker is going well, I am not running great on FTP, but I think I am playing pretty good. Just trying to play my best and ignore the results. Gonan try to put in a TON of hands the latter half of the week and we will see what happens :D

Han

I am sick of being the meat between the two pieces of bread. Fk you breads!

Well, after much back and forth I guess it's decided that I am gonna do Honours. Got to go find the lecturers next week to talk about their projects and stuff and hopefully get something interesting. Told my mom that I had try to get a scholarship if any was offered and pay her back the tuition fees asap. So, I won't be going to Canberra to get the police check, but I still have my passport to settle. So I am not sure what I am going to do about that just yet.

On the poker side, I finally managed to shift my 800 dollar roll to full tilt after swapping with a friend for stars dough. Will be playing full time on FTP now. Had a pretty shit day where I stacked off pretty light and ran KK and AA into sets. I am not complaining though cause I probably dropped 2 buyins due to my own stupidity rather than running bad. 1 spot where I could have saved $13, another where I could have saved $17, and the last where it was AA vs set of 7s where I could have probably layed it down and saved $20. Ah well, you give some you take some. I am still pretty confident though cause I started winning ALOT of small and medium pots. So thats different from my normal routine where i lose medium pots and win big pots. Now if I can merge winning small/medium/big pots together. I am so gonna crush. Will update soon :) Going to listen to Kolja who has been telling me to stop slacking and work harder cause there is way too much money to bed made at 100-400nl. So I am going to pick up the slack and ty to put in 1-2k hands per day and hopefully(Finally) move pass 25nl for good.
