BOOMM!!!

 I think your wondering what BOOMM means. Well I got it off The Erin Simpson Show but pimped it up a bit. It means bored out of my mind!!!! And that is extremely how I feel right now. Nothing has popped up yet except for that show How To Train Your Dragon at Vector Arena. But apparently I am not going but my cousin Toafa and my brother James are with my mum. I am SSSOOOOOO BORED!!!! I need something to do. And FAST!!!

Things Are Getting Boring

 For the past few days I have had to sit inside and read. It is boring. I really miss school. There is nothing to do at home since easter has past. That was a blast. But now it's just straight boring. I really really want something to do. I hope something pops up out of the blues.

Our Schools Carboot Sale

On Saturday the 24th of March there was a Carboot sale held at the School Car Park. Well on the day it was actually changed to In the Hall Sale instead of Carboot sale. There were a variety of stalls to choose to buy from like, there were food stalls, Clothing stalls, and many more stalls.

The stall that I was kind of in charge of was the year 7 and 8 extension stall. We were fund raising for the year 8 camp mostly. Our stall had cakes cupcakes and thick chocolate layered cakes. They looked so delicious but apparently they were for sale and not for me. I bought a cake for the stall. It was quite a big cake that were sold in pieces.

The day went by and we had a few buyers not that many. I would say that Mrs Tele'a's sisters stall sold some things and made quiet a lot of money. Her stall was famous for fruit as well as chocolate coating over it. It looked so nice but I didn't have any money. So then I asked my mom for a dollar but I got distracted by the raffle ticket stall.

So instead of buying a chocolate coated marshmallow and fruit on a stick I bought a number sixteen raffle ticket. Then I went back to the stall. It went very well with most of the things that were there set out on the table. People came and went wanting for seconds. It was a really good sales day. By the end of the Sales we had raised 204 dollars. It was amazing.

Then afterwards it was time for the raffle ticket drawing. I looked at my ticket hoping it was mine as Miss Va'afusuanga called it out. "Matthew Ryan" Miss Va'afusuanga said. He was shocked when he heard his name. He was standing right behind her while she was calling his name. "Oh man" I said what a waste of a one dollar.

Oh well another time. Then we packed up the stall and headed home. It was pretty fun. When I got home I sit on my couch and thinked about that chocolate layered cake. Thankfully my Nana stopped by and gave us some cake. I was starving for some cake.

Easter Holidays was FUNN!!!!

Today is Saturday, the day after good Friday. Me, my Family and other relatives had one massive day planned ahead of us. Today we had our big family activity. First we started off the day with a big breakfast then we went off to the cinema's. At the cinema's we watched the famous novel book which has recently turned into a international sensation, The Hunger Games. It is such an epic movie and I encourage you who are reading to watch it.

Our Next activity we had planned was to go to the mall and get at least $80 each to spend. It was really fun but apparently I wanted a lot more things but didn't have enough money. After that was over the time was about 2 pm and we were all starving. Although I bought myself candy and a magnum gold I was still starving like everybody else. So on our way home we stopped by at the Carl's Junior. Their Burgers are huge! I remember the first time I went there the burgers were way to massive for me and they still are. I love their fries. I want to skip this subject because I am craving for one of their burgers.

Later on when we all had finished our meals we were heading home to get ready for a BBQ at the beach. We went to mission bay and the beach was packed. First we played touch on the sand and then we I mean me and my sister Nive went for a swim, because my other 2 cousins did not want to swim. So then me and Nive made an idea on how to get them in the water. We asked one of them to help us lift Aaron into the ocean. The plan was not successful instead Moses who was helping us went in first. "KIDS!!" my mum said "COME ND EAT!!"then it was time to have our feast. We had potato salad, crab salad, sausages, chicken hearts (YUMMY), chicken, pork ribblets and much much more.


We then afterwards continued on with our swimming for a little while. Then  later we had to retire to the showers and then head off home. The day was full of fun and exciting activities. And I was worn out. I couldn't wait to lye on my comfy bed.

Cupcake Decorating

              This photo is of when a couple of our teams girls went for a cupcake decorating technique
sort of class. With Mrs Barks, Mrs George and Miss Walters.  It was in Mrs Barks class which is room 12.
There were three tables that had all sorts of different types of icing techniques. My table as you can see had the elements of Fondant and butter cream. It was really fun and after wards we got to share it with other people. It was really fun.

Camp Concert Night


As I was sitting there waiting impatiently for Mr Barks to call up the Respectables, my stomach started to turn upside down. I dreaded watching all of the other team performances because it made me think that my own team’s performance stunk. What am I talking about? Well I am talking about our year 7 and 8 camp concert night. It was the definitely the worst night for me out of all the other camp nights.

My heart was pounding when I was standing there in front of all the other teams. My thoughts were straight blank. We had only 2 hours to memorize the moves and then it was show time. I seriously wanted to get off the stage. The music started and the song was ‘shi shaw snappy’ (Jump Jam song) and then it remixed to this other Indian song. When we had finished my heart was at ease.  

It was as if nothing had happened when I was walking down from the stage. After the rest of the items had been performed it was time for judging. I think that my groups dance wasn’t that good. Well the judges actually thought it wasn’t that good either. So we came 5th overall, then it was Team Respect, then came another and another and then finally first place was the Respect Crew. This was Toreka and Lepa’s group.

When the night was over we had to retreat back to our tents and go to sleep because the next day we were going to Swimarama. I felt so relieved when everything had finished. Next year I will be determined to make my groups act the best and come first place.

Career Expo at Tamaki College


On Wednesday at around 6 oclock, their was a Career expo that was going to be held at Tamaki College. The year 7 and 8 had to attend this event. It was a whole lot of fun as well as learning a lot of things. I was looking all around the place looking for anything to do with Travel and Tourism. Finally I went inside and saw it. She taught me a lot about what I need to learn about Travel and Tourism. After that I went around to any stall and asked a lot of questions. It was a whole heep of fun, and I really enjoyed it. I got a lot of free things as well. There was also this little training fitness thing for some of those that wanted to be in the NAVY. It was so fun. I learnt so many new and old things. There were Art stands, as well as designing, and Rugby/Sports, animating studios, catering and hospitality, and much much more. But my favourite was the NAVY stand. For you to be able to receive a NAVY hat, you would have to do 20 push ups. I wish that there would be a Career Expo for our Intermidiate students. That would be so cool. But overall the night was full of  Career choices.
