Do you want to verse me on 8 ball pool?

On the weekend, my family and I went to my cousin's Holy Communion celebration at Valentines.

When we arrived there, I went upstairs because the celebration was up there. The stairs were red which the bulls hate. When I reached the top, I saw Lasike playing pool. I didn't want to play because I'm not that good at playing pool. He said,"Do you want to play?" I said, 
"Yep!" He gave me the stick. I used the stick to hit the ball and I got the black ball went in. Then our team won! Then I realised that I wasn't that bad at it after all. I actually did pretty well.

Finally it was eating time! I grabbed garlic bread, lasagna, lollies and drink. I sat down and ate hungrily like a dog keeping the bone to itself. I finished everything on my plate. 

After I finished eating, I asked my cousin if we could go and play pool again and he said "Sure!"

It was my turn to break. When I broke, I got two balls in and I was proud of myself. It was still my turn because two balls went in. I got six balls in and I won in the end. I couldn't stop smiling because I felt really happy.

I had so much fun playing pool with my cousins. I hope we can play pool again soon so I can keep practising my skills.

School Holiday are always fun!

On the weekend, my family and I went to Lasike's house for a sleepover. When we arrived there I went straight upstairs to Lasike's room to play some games. Once I was upstairs, I asked Lasike, "Can I play?" He said "No!" I felt that he was like a greedy dog wanting to keep a bone to himself. I asked him a second time "Can I please play?" He replied, "Yes!" I was as happy as a clown.

When it was my turn, I played my favourite game Minecraft! I played online Sky Wars. When the game started, a person came straight at me and I hit him so he died. I was laughing. When my friend and I were the last men standing. We fought each other. I ran to him like I was a police man chasing a thief. I hit him hard when I reached him as if it was a match between Mayweather and Pacquiao.

I played the second time and lost because I jumped off and died in the game. I was angry because I don't like to lose. After a while, I felt hungry so I went to the kitchen and ate a pie. I played on the PC for a long time and I was still playing until Lasike called me to go and play Pay day with him. Pay day is a shooting game, it look boring but it was fun when I played the game. I shot everyone and it said "You have won". I felt sleepy and slept.
I hope I get to Lasike's house a bite earlier next time. I might ask my parents to drop me off earlier.

Weekend is always better than a day of school!

On the weekend my family and I went to the Valentine's to celebrate my cousin's birthday.

When we arrived there I was extremly excited because I couldn't wait to see him. We went inside, and my aunt the mother of the birthday boy said "Alu o kume a tabela." My mum said "Eo!" (Translation- Aunty, Go and find a table.- Mum said "Yes!" So we went and found a table near the window and while we we were sitting I felt shy because there were lots of people coming to the celebration.

Then it was prayer time. I said in my head while they were praying, thank you God for my family and please look after my cousin because it is his B-Day. Amen. Finally it was eating time I got some fish and chips, sushi, extra chips and a fanta drink. I sat down to eat quietly. I ate the sushi first because it is my favourite food in the whole entire world. I ate hungrily like a lion keeping the meat to himself. I drank fanta and it made my stomach very full because I ate yummy, yummy sushi and all my food on my plate.

It was time to open the presents. The first present was a cuddley pillow pet and a shape of a extremly big bee. He's second present was a Nike shoe with a big tick like how my teacher ticks my school work and the colour was red and white. His last present was a tablet with a white case. We ended the celebration with a prayer! 

After that we went back home safetly and sound. I hope that we can celebrate more bithdays with my cousins in a very special way just like the one we just attended.
