GAME OVER

Hi.

Big bad news for y’all…ill get to it later.

10 days til Bali, woooooooooooo. Cant wait!! The weekend just gone went like this…

Friday – We sat in!! First time ever! We were budgeting our weekend for Bali! Went to bed rediculously early….

Saturday – All up at 7am. Went into the city with Birch and A-Bone, got a yummy breakfast. Got some flights booked, got some shipping information. Came back and went to the beach as it was a scorcher. 30 degrees it was! After that we went for a beer in the Beach Road Hotel then went to ours and got smashed up.  Half a keg of Heino and a bottle of Passion Pop…well on the way. We then went to some nightclub on oxford street then on to courthouse. Was a fun night!!

Sunday – Got to Coogee after some car trouble. It was 30 again. Roasting. Coogee was madness. People boozing everywhere. We sat on the grass beside the beach and had some beers. We then went to Maries house for the balcony party! Was a good laugh.

So…the news….got a phonecall from immigration yesterday saying they are refusing my visa on the grounds of no evidence for my specified farm work. It was a funny phone call of me trying to wing it. the dude knew what I was up to but obviously couldn’t say it! so basically I have 28 days to leave the country…booooooooo….screw you Australia…bit of a mare seeing its coming into summer. I’d love to stay for another summer!! But because Im going to bali I wont be able to get back into the country after so I have no choice but to go home! So from bali im flying to Kuala Lumpur and then to Abu Dhabi and then to Dublin!! I will be home on the 5th of October and then I’ll be bored….and then there will probably be no point in keeping up this blog until………I save up enough to feck off to South and Central America!! Anyone wanna come???

So this weekend is my last in Australia

So I’m having a Deportation Party!  A Hooley with Healy! Although technically Im not being deported,  I’ve been asked to leave which apparentely is a different thing. Because Im leaving on my own accord within the specified time they are giving me, Im not breaking any laws so wont pick up a ban from Australia.

If you ask me, I got a good innings. the last 5 months were pure luck. Ive seen a lot more of the world than most people and Ive seen more of Australia than most Australians!!! For my last blog posting in Australia next week Im gonna have all my stats for the entire trip! Its should be interesting.

But Im also delighted I can add a new country to the list at the bottom! Indonesia! and a new stamp in the passport!!!

I handed in my notice today. My boss was dead sound about it. he said there’ll always be a job here for me, if I got my Skilled Migrant Visa for example. He’s gonna give me a sweet reference and he’s gonna get in contact with a mate of his in Oracle Ireland to see if there’s anything going for me!! So im finishing up work on Friday. bye bye Oracle ANZ. I have next week off then to get everything organised like shipping stuff home like clothes and my guitar. I gotta organise my tax and super annuation back – KACHING. About 10k between them I reckon!! Loads of other things too!!

So the end is nigh…………party in Skerries when I get back!!

Til next week.

The Waiting Game…

Hi low.

So pretty uninteresting week just went past. Nothing too fun or too exciting happened apart from…Me Birchall and Aaron have booked Bali. We are flying out on the 25th September for 9 nights. Back on the 4th October. There are some constraints to this trip which y’all needn’t worry yourselves with. All you need to know is its happening and its going to be AWESOME. Bali is in Indonesia, its an island. Has legendary surfing beach called Kuta beach. Has the biggest waterpark in Indonesia. Has some excellent scuba diving spots. And its dirt cheap and very warm!!!

The weekend was like this…

Friday – Just went out with Phil and the boys for Phils last night in Sydney. Got smashed, made a mistake, went to bed.

Saturday – Quite hungover, went surfing with Aaron all morning. Reaped the consequence of my mistake. Then we all went for a walk!? Then we dropped Phil to the airport, said our goodbyes and went home and started boozing. Just went out to Pj’s and got smashed. Didnt even go anywhere after. All I remember was me and Aaron up raving at 5am with out shades on??

Sunday – Woke up with Aaron with me in the bed and Faygo was back!! Went and booked Bali, had some lunch then hit the Beach Road Hotel with the lads and Dave Sheehy. Had a few nice scoops in the sunshine!! Then got a Crust pizza and watched a movie, was in bed for 8 I think!!

Michelle also came back with Faygo. She’s living with us now.

I have no other news…

See ya.

Spring!

Hello

I forgot to post last week. My bad.

So last weekend…

Thursday – We went out for dinner with Eoin Hand and a few pints coz we were supposed to be away for the weekend and he was going to Mudgee on the Sunday so we wouldnt have seen him.

Friday – was very tired. Figured that our weekend away wasnt going to happen so went straight to the pub after work. Decided amongst ourselves to have a party then for Eoin on Saturday night.

Saturday – we cleaned the house. We all got lunch and ate it out in the sun, it was nice. We then stocked up on the booze and started drinking at 3.  Then loads of weird people came to the party. Dont know who they were. We were gonna go to the Sheaf then. But that didnt happen. Then we just kept drinking in ours. Me phil aaron birchall and fiona played a game in Faygos room when we were drunk (dont tell faygo) where we turned off the lights and you had to spin in a circle. it was soooooo much fun, falling everwhere. Then fiona hurt herself. then aaron didnt care. then they had the biggest fight ever. She punched him lots. He hads bruises and scrapes from her! she’s mental. we then got her to go home. then the fun continued. We walked to the shop to get smokes at 3 am. Its a 5 min walk, there and back. It took us nearly 2 hours. We played the spinny game on the park, we put aaron in a clothes bin, we climbed trees. We were like 5 year olds. I had so much fun. Barry O Mahoney is one of the funniest men alive!!

Sunday we just cleaned, beached, pinted, I was home at 8 though coz im a good boy.

The week was pretty dull. Was in late most nights coz it was end of quarter…zzz zzz

Last weekend we…

Friday – went for dinner in the bookies, had a few bets, then accidently got smashed! was a fun night.

Saturday – Went to DFO in the morning in Aarons Lude. Didnt buy anything. They had a Subway though which we took full advantage of!! Came back and went out to Paddington Bowls club. Had a few beers there. Then went to the Lord Dudly and then the Bellevue Hotel and then the London and then we got roadies and walked to Fringe bar. So it was a mini pub crawl of paddington. Then we went to the Courthouse! Havent been there in a while. it was Millmans last weekend so got all the tunes played in the courthouse, then got pieface and went home!!

Sunday – did feck all all day. Went to CBH for a bit. Then went and saw Inglorious Basterds, what a movie!!!

In other news. Faygo and Michelle are back on Sunday! Millman is leaving today back to Birmingham – BYE BUDDY. Im heading out for lunch again today with work to some posh place for end of quarter. My brother Graeme is at home, first time in 4 years or something?! He brought his wife – HA.

Nothing much else happening.
