Navasartian Games
Rooftop Basketball Stadium
26th & 27th December
------------------------------------
Well, its over....
Oh, and one other thing...
WE WON!!!!!
We played against ANTRANIG senior women - score was 40 vs 22 and we played a pretty good game, good team work considering we havent had many trainings with everyone there!
Special thanks goes out to LEO - our new coach Tro (thats Tro without a "y") He only had 2 months to work with our team and he did a great job :) so what he is pretty scary to look at and smells really bad (like the chamiches of an egyptian camel) BUT we have to remember that he did help us get to where we are ... SO we'll see if he will stay loyal until we finish our NSBA competitions and get us through to another awesome win ... (someone buy him some aftershave or something, plz)
Me with our Championship Trophy
Its actually pretty scary looking but it'll do...
It was unfortunate because the guys lost their grand finals against ARARAT.
It was a great game and so much fun to watch but just didnt work out for us...Ararat were hungry for it and played well...
My 2 fav girls ... who would annoy me if it wasnt for these 2? 4am wake up calls, hasseling me on what type of clothes i wear, whatever badness you can think of, these girls (and now if that wasnt bad enough, add my new coach into this category as well) ANNOY the hell out of me until i want somebody to slap me!! friggn gor gors, they're all the same i tell ya
Oh, and thanks to our "special" shoulder-dancing supporter from America ... BOBBY ... what would we have done without your wit and your shoulder? nice to know that Sarpie actually has SOME taste, HAHAH!! (ok, so you have to pay me for that comment Bobby - this was our agreement remember? i accept credit cards ok)
oh, I now know what you mean about the "what have i told you about speaking" thing, I GET IT! more people actually talk to me now! im now like an oven-roasted vegetable (only difference being i wear clothes) before i would add to the conversation, but now I just sit there and if its not too hot, every now and again (to show that im alive) i nod ... but, yeah thanx Bobby, my life has really changed cos of you and your spasticated comments - Thanks! :P
Oh, and a surprise visit from my 2 good buddies who i travelled around Europe with, Sam and Daniel, man these guys know how to party (ask Rita/Nic and Sarps lol) ... they snuck me a bottle of rum & coke while no one was looking ... piss! shad piss! but it was gooood....

Wicklow Mountains, Sally Gap, 2 lakes and Glendalough tour
With Ann
13th Feb 05 - Sunday
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went on another tour around Wikclow Mountains and Glendalough but this was different than the first so i didnt mind paying the €25 for it and it was really worth it, only thing that annoyed me a bit was the weather, it was just too cold!
Our tour guide Damien was very good at his job,and he seemed to be having a good time! i liked how he was always talking and telling us about the sites and things that we would pass and about everyday life and things...for example how the pubs operate with the tide, so if the tide is down, the pub is closed, this is tradition and comes from many centuries ago from when the boats used to bring their cargo in and the sailors would then go to all the pubs and drink after a hard days work...
I made sure i got good seats on the bus and boy did I! right at the front like a good little girl! haha but the whole trip we saw everything and heard Damien on his mic pretty clearly...
We drove through Dun Loghaire and Dalkey and these 2 places are amazing! they are so beautiful, now i understand why a lot of irishes live outside of Dublin city, cos its a hole! and all the nicer suburbs are just outside it, about 30mins away...i cant wait to get my camera and go floricking around taking pictures!
We went to Glendalough, so ive been, doesnt matter cos i learnt a few more interesting facts about St Kevin and what he got about doing in those days...also took some more great pics and this time with me in them! [cos the other tour i had gone on by myself] we went for a 25min walk to the 2 lakes (this i didnt do last time as well) the weather was FREEZING and i remember my fingers being so cold i was careful not to snap them off! sheesh!
I had the BEST Guiness and beef stew at the lunch stopover that we had, man it was such an awesome feed! €11.50 but welll worth the stew, yummy beef and huge protions...had a nice chat with an australian lady who has moved over to england with her disabled son and her daughter, she has it tough but she loves what she is doing she says...we were telling her how we cant wait to go home and shes like well, i dont have a home anymore in aus, and it got us thinking how hard it must be for her trying to make a home at her age, she is divorced and i think thats what made her start all this travelling around...we swapped some interesting stories and had a good craic...
We drove around to the Sally gap and was it amazing! it was such a great view into the valley and we were looking down onto a natural gorgeous lake (apparently took 15000 years to get the exact colour that the water is and there is a little property located right near it...its gorgeous! we got out (me and Ann ran on first) slipped and slid all over the place trying to get a good pic op, and man was it windy! i got knocked around quite a bit and there was no fence as a 'just incase' so it was pretty scary...took some photos and ran back to the bus just cos it was too cold..
The view we had of dublin was amazing, we drove along a road high up and saw a lot of dublin from up there, really nice view, passed many local pubs which apparently is a must see, they pull out violins and start playing traditional music for you! that would be grand to see...
All in all, everyone kept to themselves (we talked to a nice american girl but thats all) and wasnt very interesting crowd but hey, we werent there for the people...for the scenery!
Got back to Dublin around 5pm and went around looking at some shops on Grafton st...was a pretty cool day and im glad i went...
January 09, 2005
Edinburgh 2004
New Years Hogmanay Festival
Concert in the Gardens
Blondie and The Scissor Sisters
--------------------------------------
When I say that this has been the BEST New Years yet, im not joking!
UHHHRRGHHH me laddies!!! We had a brilliant time...
Flew out of Dublin via Aerlingus for €110 return to Edinburgh on the 30th Dec...we were all pretty excited since it meant a couple of days off and a very exciting new city to visit that none of us had been to previously...
The flight was pretty turbulence infested...and let me tell u, turbulence is not my best freind, like i wouldnt go out for drinks with turbulence if u know what i mean actually, i try to stay AWAY from turbulence and not pick up the phone or email back as little as possible...so the flight was not the best...it was so windy when we got to Scotland that the plane was really ditching and diving when we were trying to land in Edinburgh...well, thanks God we landed safe and got off the plane and into the wind and the cold...man, was it cold...
Our hostel was a pretty cool place...it sounded like a farm barn animal shelter but it ended up being a really cute quaint little apartment private and clean...it was called "Cowgate Tourist Hostel" and close your eyes cos im going to be telling you the price...it cost us €71.60 a night EACH, yep, let me say it again, EACH....it usually cost €20 a night normal nights, but judging that this was ABNORMAL tourist galore night, they decided to charge us more than triple the amount, dodgy b&%$ards i say...and it was a 6 bed dorm too! but this was the only place left and we had to go to Hogmanay because apparently this is one of the biggest most important festivals in europe for N Years.
Before heading out of Dublin we decided to do something "wacky" so we bought fur material and made some shawls which were like shoulder throws...they turned out great! mine was red and so was Anns, Anitas was blue...
The night of Hogmanay...people were everywhere!! we decided to go to Thai before hand and it wasnt the best i gotta say but it would do...and then we walked down to Prices St to show off our concert tickets and get a nice view to the stage...we flashed our wrist bands and waltzed in with, a lot of the people could only get into the street party and not the concert but we were lucky, it worked out better for us because the street party tickets were all sold out...they were 2 pound 50 each and we had to pay 30pounds for our concert tickets which ended up being grand cos the concert was immaculate and the people on the street couldnt see it, they just had music playing...
We waltzed up to our place in the line to get into the gardens, people were commenting left right and centre about our "funky" shawls! we were so proud cos we had each stitched on the ribbon to the fur on our ownsome...and were starting to feel better (and not geeky) for wearing the shawls...it was a lot of fun! and a good way at keeping an eye on each other and not getting lost!
Blondie was really good!! she was wearing some sort of funky looking scottish kilt dress and it was interesting..not my style but interesting...singing her songs and stuff...you know "call me!" thats the song that stuck out the most to me...
Scissor Sisters were interesting, really weird and new funk band...i think half of them are gay and some are just weird, i have no idea, they had these funky outfits on as well...we were all bopping up and down and jumping to see the stage and the Edinburgh Castle glowing orange in the background the whole time..it was amazing! we made freinds with these awesome british people a bunch of guys and girls and they were so much fun! we were mucking around with them and singing with them and taking photos and talking non stop! going to the bathroom wasnt the funniest of fun things to do when your in a crowd of over 250,000 people, let me tell you...people wouldnt let you through! they would stand their ground and tell you to get lost! man, some rude people had flown from County Rudeville just to be there...seriously, they had something stuck up somewhere i dont wanna know...
The fireworks were immaculate!!! they went off! but seriously, after youve seen one, youve seen them all, it was the people we were surrounded with and the huge crowd and the weather and knowing your overseas that did it for me...it was perfect weather, we were worried it would get cancelled like last years because of bad weather, but nope, God was with us and we were having the time of our lives!! and plus some of the vodka we had was keeping us warm...lol!
After partying a bit more and dancing and singing to the remaining acts and songs we said bye to our new freinds and skipped off, we had another invite we had to fulfill! we were going to Kates house for a house party (skotish people looove house parties) and we met up with Anns freinds and Nerida and Brett and Bernie, Belindas and some other girls...they were all cool and had all met each other while overseas...most from Aus...they ended up being a lot of fun and we hung out with them half the time we were in Edinburgh...
Before hand we even trried to get into the Aussie of Aussie places thats all around europe, "The Outback" or whatever its called, Ann hates it, but we couldnt get in cos the line was too long and so we celebrated at another bar (cos one of the girls HAD to down a beer before aussie 12am) this is when i talked to my loved ones back home on my mob! everyone was at our house and had just celebrated new years! i miss them all! but it was so good to hear their voices and know that they were having fun...it was grand...Hovs voice sounds so more mature and older, couldnt recognise it! i miss him the cutie...
oh oh oh oh oh!!! i bought a sword!! i bought a sword! ive always wanted to buy a sword and i finally have one! i got it shipped home from the shop and man was i excited...i cant wait to see it back home and ill prob hang it off my wall in my room, im pretty happy about that buy and i hope it gets home ok fingers crossed...should be fine though...
The weather started getting colder and it even snowed a bit, not too bad since i wont be seeing Christmas snow ever again perhaps, so i wasnt complaining. Our jackets werent warm enough though and i eventually got a throat cold...and man was it hurting, i was snoring like an esh with its head stuck under a cows vor...so not too fun for my roomies...
Oh, for those curious people (like me) you know that question about if skottish men wear anything under their kilts? well, they dont...
ok ok, before you get to excited I will tell you how i know...I was looking out my hostel window one night when we were all really tired and decided to sleep early...and our street is full of pubs and bars and clubs and right outside this window was the "3 sisters" and outside this pub a group had gathered (they had been kicked out actually) and 1 of the boys was wearing a kilt and OHHPAH!! he decided to do a little handstand that showed that scottish chamiches were definatley out that season no matter how cold the weather...his freinds started slapping his vorig and slap hard they did! people were looking and this guy was forced to stay on his hands by his freinds and they were slapping hard! man it was funny! and the thing was that he was wearing a scottish kilt hat with fake orange hair sticking out the end and it made it all the funnier... i think he got a bit embaressed but 5 mins later when the attention was off his hand stained bum, he decided to flash his chamiches and vorig to the crowd! he'd lift his skirt and shuffle his feet and move his wig around and man it was funny! then the police waltzed over and pulled his skirt down...he looked like a little defeated transvestite school boy with his head down sulking...hehehhe, man that was funny! i dont know how his toosh doesnt fall off from the cold! anyway, that was one night to remember...
All in all it was a great couple of days where we learnt a lot about our surroundings and ourselves and as well as the festive periods and how to shop even more and also how to sleep in and recover...sheesh, just like school eh? but after our shopping escapades we were all shopped out and decided on doing some touristy stuff on the last day...but we still have a lot more to see...but that can be done another time i guess...
Ok, the annoying bit...our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:45pm...we caught the airport bus at 8pm, got there around 8:30 and told that our flight was 20mins delayed...then another 50mins got added onto the 20mins and we boarded the plane at 10:30 and we left at 11pm. NOw the reason for our delay we later found out was due to the strong winds in Dublin..the winds were absoultley frantic! the 40min flight took 1.5hrs! we were approaching landing when the plane started rocking and swaying and dropping and my not so favourite freind turlbulence came by again, and this time twice as worse...first try, we couldnt land!!! i felt the plane rise up and turn around...then the captains voice " ummm, hello...as you have noticed...ahh, we havent landed yet [dur really] and this is due to the very strong winds and we cant land because its stonger than normal landing regulations so we ahh, have to wait 5-10mins HOPEFULLY the wind will die down, thankyou" HOPEFULLY??? are you normal, is he normal? hopefully? man, can u just land the plane and then talk please? sheesh, and already the stewardess who talks over the loudspeaker had stuffed up so many times, she was a definate trainee and was stuttering and spitting everywhere, people were tired, i wanted less turbulence Anita and Ann wanted sleep cos they had to work the next day early...
Well, eventually, we landed....tried again after 15mins and after a rough turbulence way down, the landing was perfect and my heart was in my eyelid...sheesh...that was the toughest plane ride ove been on, thanks Aerlingus! the captains did a great job though and the stewardess ended off with "thankyou for flying with Aerlingus on this SHORT ride" umm, SHORT...she even said it twice and people on board laughed...yup, 1.5hrs instead of 40mins is pretty short...geeks...oh well, thank God it all ended well...got to bed pretty late, but slept as good as u can with a sore throat...
WHAT an experience!
Scotland is definately the place to be for New Years!

Carolines boyfriends house party
19th Dec - Blackrock
------------------------------------------

This was a pretty good night. Anns work freind Caroline invited us to her boyfriends house for a xmas party. Apparently, there was a group of 15 boys who were supposed to be showing up after a soccer match but their bus broke down and couldnt make it! there was about 4 guys and 4 girls...we met up at Tonic a pub in Blackrock and drank a bit there then went back to the house and sat around and talked all night...it was an ok night...met some nice people and had fun

December 17, 2004
Rolly's Restaurant @ Ballsbridge
9:30pm reservation
afters @ Synnotts Bar off Grafton St
--------------------------------------------
The night ended up being just GRAND...
We had reservations at Rolly's, met the girls at Q bar on the corner of O'Connell St, caught a taxi and went to the pub next door to the restaurant to wait for Nick.
The food was great! pretty expensive, and goooooood! had some champagne and orange juice, yum and chatted about anything and everything...
We then arranged to meet the rest of the Connection 2 gang at Synnotts @ Grafton St, it was a pretty dodgy place but it was ok music, mix of everything and from the looks of it, no one really cared, they just danced! everyone was pretty "merry" lets just say...*hehe*
Court and Michael bopping
doing a tango with Jamie in the background!
whos sneaking in a drink now? Nick ordering a bottle of "lemonade"
Well, Michael was obviously having a good time dancing and posing for photos, Johnny boy was outside most of the time talking to the brick wall while smoking his cigarettes, Courtenay was stealing stephs santa hat and tango-ing with the groovers and shakers on the dance floor, Nick was...being Nick, Steph was shaking her booty with her feathers malting every which way, Jamie was dancing with a 75 year old man (who had the moves mind you!) Emma was trying to hide from all her highschool teachers that showed up during the night, Wassila was standing around and talking, drinking and giggling and everyone was just having a good time in general! cool bunch of people who I had a lot of fun with...
I think Michael knocked Stephs hat off her head!
I think everyone left the party with a feather stuck in or on some part of their body!
comeeeerre, give me a hug!
Anyway, after a couple of hours of dancing and drinking, everyone started going home, I got home at about 3am, not good for a school night I tell ya'
Jamie, Nick, Court, JJ, mua
All in all, I had a great time! plenty of laughs (not enough alcohol though!) but hopefully there will be a next time...
December 15, 2004
These are some of the geeky UK and irish sayings that I have learnt and picked up from some of my workmates (or, the geeks from work...same same)
----------------------
"Big up" - Nick H meaning well done give yourself a pat on the back!
"grand" - Courtenay, Emma, Jamie, Evelyn, Brid (all the irishes say this one! this is the definate favourite and ive started using it too without knowing..argh!)
"umm, sorry I cant actually help you out with that request" - Nick H, just the way he said it cracked me up! what was the customer asking from you Nick? hehehe oh man, i think i need to go home...lol
"mehngan" - Em, seedy/disgusting
"ill buy him a bodyshop pack, Nick is the sensitive type" hahah! Courtenay being a smartass at work when I said that Nick was expecting a bunch of flowers from him and that apparently I ruined the surprise! crackup...
These ones are all said with a too right aussie accent by Emma
"dingos got your baby"
"fire in the uni....."
"sharks in the water!!!"
"Ya flamin' gallah!"
"gotta go home and practise by BOGO POGO!"
"possum's in the attic"
Jazz - "but its so fattening!"
Nick - "look, everythings fattening (rubbing his belly) you just have to make it look goooood"
"went home afterwards and listened to some music in the kitchen drinking hot water..." - Courtaney
"what? hot water?" -Jazz
"I forgot the teabags" - Courtaney
"lets see whos got their tag numbers...then we can validate their ass" - Nick
when Emma doesnt understand what Im saying she says "a what now?" with a wierdassed look on her face!
V1, RnB saturday night
11th December 04
------------------------------
Hows the craic man!?
This was another good night dancing! Ann didnt come along which was a shame for her cos it was a lot of fun! Anita came along but left at around 11:40pm cos she was tired, so I walked her back home and I went back again to meet the boys and Em. Funny, the bouncers knew us straight away and didnt check our ids, *hehe*
By the time I got back 1 hr had gone past! the group was pretty "happy" and I joined them and bought myself a heineken which was "mmmmmM" I cant believe how much im liking beer these days, what the...? especially carbombs, YUM...
Anyway, every now and again, someone in the group would run off by themselves to the dance floor whenever we heard a song we liked! BUT, you cant dance by yourself, there is always some annoying person who tried to feel you up...come on peoples, im trying to dance here hello...it got annoying after a while but at least i danced to a couple of good songs...
There was this one really pretty blonde haired chick at our table who was sooo pissed...she spilt BEER ALL OVER ME!! i had beer running down both my thighs and my jeans were soaked! ewww, so annoying...but all in all, a pretty good night.
Started walking home, dropped off Em at O'connell and we walked to Dame. Dame st, crowded as usual, and what do u see just outside the AIB bank?? SIMON CARRYING A SCREAMING JAZZ ON HIS SHOULDER!! he lifted me up, not once but TWICE and ran with me down Dame street! oh mmyyy goshhshss..! haha, ok, i gotta admit it was A LOT of fun! I think he must have broken his shoulder or something...! he says he is fine though, sheesh, he better not come back to me when he is 65 and ask for me to pay for his brittle bone operation...mama mia...






ok, Simon got the flames added onto his dragon that he has on his shoulder...

Well, well, well, I finally found a job after coming back from Europe with the boyz and being jobless for 3 weeks (I walked the whole of Dublin city every day and raided the library!)
My position is as a Team Leader for a call centre for a company who sends out technicians to install home PCs to UK customers. Ok, so i dont understand 3/4 of the customers I speak to (ESPECIALLY Scottish! ugh me laddies) but its a pretty cool job with a pretty cool crew...
Theres Emma, Nick and Steph at the moment, we all get along pretty good. Nicks a DJ after hours and made fun of me cos I dont know who the A-TEAM are...same with Courtenay and also Craig, umm, ok, so all the guys made fun of me cos I dont know who they are..noice one brotha! now i do, Nick explained it to me, theres these 4 guys right...one is black with a huge mohawk and 23,908 gold chains around his neck and he is a tough guy right, and thats about all i know really...ah well this info is as useless as a chocolate teapot I say
Apparently, one of their "famous" sayings is "ON THE JAZZ" Nick is now sitting next to me...being a complete idiot and singing "on the Jazz" "on the Jazz" sheesh, im glad I dont know the A-TEAM now cos knowing me ill prob be singing with him....
Im sitting here at work...Simon and Craig are sitting across from me Simon is singing, like a girl...umm, yep...Nick next to me on the phone with a customer, Ems gotten up to get some tea, I think I will as well, I need my daily fruit dose... anyway, figuring out where to go out tomorrow night, hmmm, maybe rnb again, i think Anita liked one of the bouncers there! haha oh well...see what the weekend brings, its 4.04pm now so nearly over...
I found a wooden BOOMERANG with Australia written on it in our Connection2 office...Ive now taken ownership of it and its stuck on my pin board right infront of me! I feel like im home already...ohhhhhhhh....how sweet....
It feels wierd here actually...I hear all these people around me with accents and stuff and I feel like THEY are the odd ones out, but actually, I AM! my accent is wierd for them and im like no, u guys are wierd not me, but seriously Jazz, youre out numbered here! its so cool hearing peoples accents here, im loving it, you pass by people on the streets and hear them talking in their irish accents and its so cool! i keep looking around and thinking how damn lucky I am to be here...seriously, I look up at Christchurch Cathedral everyday and thank God that I had this oppourtunity to do this, you know even if I went home now id be thankful and im glad I didnt back out, I was so scared before leaving but its always that first step that is the hardest but after that it just keeps getting easier and better...
So, 365ITLIVE, theres Barry who is the big boss, then Alan and theres Nick Everett who we work with he is the boss in Oxford, London looking after the warehouse there and the technicians, he is pretty cool, they all are actually.
I met Barry at my 2nd interview at connection2, he was very down to earth and easy to talk to, I liked him...
Simon Clarke and Craig Malton came over from London and they will be here for about 6 months I think helping us out setting up the website for our call centre and helping out with getting rid of these manual scheduling that we have to do with the spreadsheets, very annoying! really frustrating and a lot of mistakes can be made, I think the new system will definatley help us but finding the postcodes of each place and lining them up with a technician so they dont have to travel far is pretty hard work and very difficult to navigate, anyway, we'll see how it goes I guess...

night out with the boys from work and the roomies
Saturday 27th Nov
-----------------------------------------------------------
The girls and I decided on going to RNB club V1 on saturday 27th Nov. After Ann and I had checked it out the weekend before, we thought about going again...and I asked Craig and Simon, the new guys starting in Dublin who are from the London office to come along. They are the biggest party freaks (as well as GEEKS) and go out every night apparently, I dont think I can keep up with them even if I tried!
They are organising the new webpage thingy that we are going to use for our HOME projects, and doing a great job of it! they are very good at their jobs and at the moment are very useful to us...!

Us minus Ann, the stoopid geek taking the pic decided to cut her out!?

Ann by herself!
The night ended up being a lot of fun and there was heaps of breakdancing and rnb-ing happening! its a nice joint with about 3 room, looks like a castle inside thats why i love it so much! the boys were great company and we all had laughs

Anita Atocha and Jazz

Anita and Craig (I dont know what he is doing though)
