 * Tuesday 7th July ||= Today is the school holidays!No more school for 2 whole weeks!On this bright sunny morning,I overslept a bit because last night(Monday 6th June)I went to bed at 9:15.Well my mum came in my bedroom and told me to get up and sleeping.I did as I was told but I did the things quiet slowly.I then got dressed,brushed my tangled hair,brushed my teeth and lastly I ate my breakfast.I really liked breakfast today because I had chocolate cake!Yum!I gobbled my share of cake down quiet fast.I then gulped down my cup of milk down.I climbed down my chair and went to brush my teeth once more.Later I sat on my sofa in my bedroom and red a book called 'Double Act' by Jacqueline Wilson.I got a bit hungry and bored after a while so I begged my mum to make shushi.I sat there while I watched my mum worked.After my mum finished I ate 5 shushi'.I then appreciatedly patted my stomach and went to practise my violin for a while.Just after I finished packing away my violin my mum brought in today's lunch,noodles.The noodles were quiet dry so I didn't finish it so I gave the rest to my mum.I then settled down and watched a movie called'The Spiderwick Chronicles'.It was a really exciting movie but I really hated the goblins because they were really nasty!I quiet enjoyed my day today but mostly liked the movie. //Have you thought about reading the Spiderwick Chronicles book series? I think it's the same series as Lemoney Snicket. Mrs N:)// ||
 * Wednesday 8th July || Today my friends came to my house.Lucy and Nancy(sisters)arrived first.We played a bit of 'mouse trap'while we waited for Aimie and Shulamite to come.It didn't take long for Aimie to come.We kept on playing 'mouse trap'(now with Aimie)for quiet a long time but Shulamite still didn't come so we went to the playground next door to my house.I rode my scooter and Aimie rode my bike.I let Lucy and Nancy each have a turn to ride on my scooter with me.It quiet fun.On the playground it was much fun but after a long time when we were about to go home,Shulamite arrived.We played for a long time,had some sausages for lunch and watched 'Tom & Jerry'.Shulamite was the first to leave(and last come),then Lucy and Nancy and lastly,Aimie. //Oh my gosh! I can remember watching Tom and Jerry when I was little! Mrs N:)// ||
 * Thursday 9th July || Today I went swimming with my grandparents. //I hope the water was warm!!// - Mrs N I swam 1 k.m without stopping.I swam slowly of course so I can save my energy.Today was a bright sunny morning and the weather looked //un//doubtful so we didn't need to worry about taking an umbrella.Not after long when we came home my mum took me and my grandma shopping.We came home around 5 o'clock.I was so tired out that time when we came home! ||
 * Friday 10th July || Today I went mountain climbing with my mum.On the way up 'Pigeon Mountain' I got tired out!When we finally reached the top I slumped into a seat near the top point.When I finished resting I went to join my mum at the top point.What a view!When me and my mum finished sight seeing we climbed down 'Pigeon Mountain.'Well I //ran// down.When we got home I was quiet tired but not //so// tired. I would have been tired too ||
 * Saturday 11th July || Today I went to the the movies with my mum and my friend Shulamite this afternoon.We watched ICE AGE 3,'Dawn of the Dinosaurs'.We had to wait in a long line to get to into the area where they show ICE AGE 3.When we reached the end of the line,we all got a drink,popcorn,an ice-cream and a pair of 3-D glasses.The movie was so cool!!!!My cheeks were red by the time we got out.I had had a lovely time today. ||
 * Sunday 12th July || Today I went shopping with my parents and my grandma.We went this chinese shop first of all.I wondered around because I was bored. The second shop was another chinese shop! I didn't go this time so I stayed in the car with my mum. This time we went to Pak n' Save. It was a long time before we went home. I was so tired when we got home! ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Monday 13th July || Today Aimie came around my house to play.We made little booklets,played on the playground and watched 'Tom & Jerry' number 9.We mostly went on the playground seeing the weather was so good.The swing was the best bit today.Me and Aimie swang as high as we can and jumped down when we felt confident. It was really fun until we went home.Inside we made little booklets each.We spent ages decorating the cover.Just as we were finished with the cover Aimie's parents came.We waved each other good-bye.When she was gone I practised my violin for a while seeing I've got a visitor today. || ||  ||   ||
 * Tuesday 14th July || Today I went to the library with my mum.I requested a book called 'Totally Jacqueline Wilson'.I got out a 'Go Girl! Angels book.It had all the book series of Go Girl Angels series.I also got out a Sonic the Hedgehog' comic book and a book called 'A Little Secret'.I red a bit of Go Girl Angels at the library and red some more when me and my mum got home. It's good to curl up with a good book when the weather is rotten outside, isn't it. Mrs N :) ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Wednesday 15th July || Today I went swimming in the morning even though though the weather was bad.The water was really quiet warm.I swam 1 k.m and 100m nearly all without stopping!When I got out I was so tired!!!But I had to walk all the way home! ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Thursday 16th July || Today I went to the library.There I saw Shopie D.She got out about 15 books and I only got out 4.We had a game of 'Junior Monoply'.When we were about go I remebered that my requested book was ready for pickup.Later in the evening I went to Man's house with my mum.We went on the computer for a while.Man went on the game websites and I had a go on Mathletics.After a while we had dinner.I especially liked the fish.After dinner me and Man played a bit of board games.My mum was talking to Man's mum but then we had to go because it was getting late. ||  ||  ||  ||
 * Friday 17th July || Today Cassandra and a girl called Elizabeth came to my house.Elizabeth came first so we went on the playground to wait for Cassandra.When Cassandra came,we played a play(Tortoise & the Hare) and this little made-up game.It was alot of fun.We watched T.V for a while when we came inside.We ate chocolate balls while we watched.Then after T.V we had a treasure hunt.I found the most things.There was 2 bubble gum,4 nut bars and 6 lollipops.I got 3 lollipops,3 nut bars and no bubble gum at all.I gave Elizabeth my nut bar and gave Cassandra my lollipop.So now I had 2 lollipops,2 nut bars and no bubble gum.After that we chatted for a while.Then me and Cassandra were reading comics.Elizabeth went first because she had karate class.When she went we red for a while then Cassandra's mum came to pick her up. You girls are both great readers!! Mrs N:) ||  ||   ||   ||

Mrs N:) <span style="color: #fe8985; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">After the delicious feast me annd Aimie mucked around the piano,well it was more like a keyboard.Aimie took piano lessons so she can play really good.We played a little joke on other people.The joke was that Aimie just pretends to play while I press a button that plays professional music. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">ha ha <span style="color: #fe8985; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Then after that we had chocolate birthday cake!!We all sang 'happy birthday' to Shulamite's little sister.It was really yummy cake and Aimie was lucky because she had a piece of cherry on her cake.After the delicious cake we continued to play.When in the middle of our game I had to go.It had been a fun evening. Sounds like a blast!! Mrs N :) ||  ||   ||   ||

Mrs N :) ||  ||   ||   || Later on in the evening me and my mum went out to the playground.I especially stayed on the swing for a long time.There was nothing interesting on that play ground.I rather prefer our school's.  ||   ||   ||   || BToday I went to Aimie's house.We had //heaps// of fun//.//Well when I got there Aimie was watching the telly.It was called 'Grow Your Own'.I didn't really get the plot but it was still quiet interesting.//Quiet// interesting.Later on we went to her bedroom.I grinned when I saw the llittle charms on the red ribbon Aimie had put on.It was so cool! Aimie did some cartoon scetching.She was amazing!I just mucked about with her glitter glue.She then sneaked into the kitchen and made us both a cup of choco coffe.Yum!After we drank the mouth smacking coffe we went outside and did some nail art.We just did it on our thumb.But then we just decided to watch Narnia.Half way through the doorbell rang.It was my dad.It was such fun but,I still had to leave. ||  ||   ||   || But then finally had to go.Wohooo!So then we went to my house.We watched Barbie,'Fairytopia'.Aimie didn't actually finish it but I suppose she could come another day. ||  ||   ||   || On the way back hry was way beome my mum led the way.There were loads of cars.Finally we got home(and I still reckon my way to the library was way better!) ||   ||   ||   || After a long time we went to the library.This time I got out 7 books all to myself.After I finished choosing books we went to the hospital for my mum's blood test.Finally we went.I was soooo tired!! ||  ||   ||   || We went to No. 1 Shoes last.There I got some shoes.They were mainly black but they had some little flowers up the side.

 * Sunday 27th September || <span style="color: #acc9a1; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today in the morning I woke up early just to go shopping.I missed out a few shopping trips already.We first went to a new built chinese shop called 'Tai Ping'.We brought mountains of thing.Well maybe not mountains but still alot.We went on shopping 'till about 12'o clock.
 * Monday 28th September || <span style="color: #e46cf4; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today my mum,my grandmother and I went to the $ 1 2 3 plus.We spent ages in the shop.I wanted a silver hairband.But I've got one a teeny weeny similar to that.Then I wanted glitter glue.But my mum said no.Because there was too much glitter that's what she said .And then I wanted a cute //little// golden purse but it was //$2!//So I decided not to.In the end I chose a collection of rubbers.They were so cool.4 of them were skateboards.They even had miny rubber wheels that can go!And then there were 2 rollerblades with wheels as well.But they don't exactly go but I still like them.

 * Wednesday 30th September || <span style="color: #fc45a3; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today Aimie came to my house.We first went to my mum's student's house.It was boring.But then we decided to explore the house.Boy!Wasn't it big!We first went down the narrow,winding stairs.One small slip then we will fall to our doom.Later on we had explored the whole house(and we were laughing mad at some part) so we were bored again.
 * Thursday 1st October || <span style="color: #ff332e; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today was China's birthday.Well not the //birthday// birthday but it's like the time they got all grouped together.We watched the parade on T.V.It was awsome!!!!I saw the mayors of all the cities.I suppose there'll be 30 mayors since there were 30 cities but it didn't look like it.I knew one of the mayors that were there.It was the mayor of Taiwan.Later on me and my grandmother picked a bunch of lovely bright flowers from our garden.I thought it was //way// more better than the shop's.After flower picking my whole family gathered in the lounge.My dad even took some photos!(here is a photo of me.)[[image:IMG_3255.jpg width="188" height="148"]]It was a long time before it finished.And you know what.We could have watched it later because right after when it finished it started all over again! ||  ||   ||   ||
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;"> Friday 2nd October || <span style="color: #fed71b; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went to the library with my mum.We had to walk there.On the way there I led the way.But on the way back my mum did.I think my one was way shorter than mum's.When we finally got there I went in and ramaged into the children's section.I only got out for books(I think) but my mum still hadn't finished choosing so I slutmped into the chair opposite her and started reading.Finally we got out.But then my mum teated us to a huge portion of chips.
 * Saturday 3rd October || <span style="color: #bb1ff9; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went swimming.My dad said that I was swimming better than usual.He made me do all the different styles(breastroke,freestyle,backstroke and butterfly).It was hard work!Later on I climbed out of the swimming pool and went to the warmer one.I then got out and got dressed.I was so stressed by then! ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Sunday 4th October || <span style="color: #008aff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went out shopping in the morning.Sunday was our shopping day.When we got back I got out my mini game cards and built a peak.A little one.It took me ages.I kept trying and trying until I made one.I took a photo before it collapsed again.I think I will try to make a bigger one next time. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Monday 5th October || <span style="color: #99fe1b; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went out with my mum.We went to this car place first of all.I was so bored but then I started reading some mags.My favourite article was 'Three Angels in Heaven'.It was about a family who had 5 children but 3 died because their heart stopped beating.But the remaining 2 got some medical treatment that once their heart stops beat it will immediately start again.
 * Tuesday 6th October || <span style="color: #d1db00; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I tried to make a bigger card peak(like I said on Sunday 4th October).But each time I got a 'F'.I tried and tried but I can only make one like the one on Sunday the 4th.The one I want to make is 3 at the bottom,2 on top of it and 1 at the top.It's already very hard to make 1 peak on top of the other 2.So I guess that I'll have to keep on trying. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Wednesday 7th October || <span style="color: #fc97e3; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went outside to skip.In slow motion sec(e.g 1...2...3...4...)all the way to 10 I could do 32 but in normal sec(e.g 1.2.3.4)all the way to 10 I could only do 22.In slow motion minute I could do 178 but I'm not sure about normal minute because I hadn't tested it yet.I also practised some skipping techinques.By the end of the day my legs were //soooooooo// sore because I forgot to do my stretches! ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Thursday 8th October || <span style="color: #f3c586; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went shopping with my grandma and mum.We went to Manukau.It was sooo fun!(but my legs were still sore from yesterday's skipping).There I got a blue butterfly necklace and my mum got 2 new t-shirts.My grandma didn't get anything because she said she didn't want to.Later on we went to McDonalds for lunch.Yum!!!!I wanted a McChicken and a mini frozen coke.My mum and grandma wanted super deluxe cheese burger(and they both had 2 because mine was way bigger than their's.Not!)After the meal at McDonald's we went back to Botany.There me and my grandma went shopping because my mum had to do something.
 * Friday 9th October || <span style="color: #9ae8fe; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went to Aimie's house.We had mountains of fun!When I got there Aimie's dad,Michael gave me some of their home made noodles.It was quiet tasty.Then after the noodles I tried some of Aimie's home baked bread.We both decided that it needs more salt but it actually smelt delicious!After that we went to her room and played some fun games.I really liked doing things at the counter!After awhile we spent some time outside but then we came back again inside.We played some more of our fun games but then we had dinner.Yum!!!!!
 * Saturday 10th October || <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went swimming today(again).But we stayed longer in the pool because we met a girl called Georgia.We swam together,my breastroke was faster than hers but her freestyle is faster than mine's.I had to go and help Georgia correct her breastroke.It was boring(yawn)!The water started to get cold afterwards but I still had to swim 150 metres.When I got out I got dressed and went back to the car with my grandparents. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Sunday 11th October || <span style="color: #b399ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">Today I went shopping(again)!We went to the new Tai Ping shop once more.There we got a mroast duck and some meat.Then we went to this place called 'SunWing Tai'.I just wondered around in there.But then in another chinese shop I got a packet of ice-cream-made-out-of-marshmallow-with-cones.(Yummy yummy in my tummy!!)Finally we went to Pak'n Save(which is not a chinese shop).I got bored in there as well.//Finally// we went home.I don't wan't to do anymore shopping today!!!!!Not anymore! ||  ||   ||   ||
