Fiji! (:

Well, the last two weeks of term three I was in Fiji! I had the best time ever, and the weather was amazing! We stayed on an island called Malolo Lailai island and we stayed at Plantation island resort. I loved the atmosphere of Fiji and everyone there was so friendly and welcoming! The best part about Fiji was Fiji time! :D Everything was so relaxed and no one was in a real hurry to do anything! While we were there I made a ton of new friends. (They were all from Australia). There ended up being a group of about 30 of us that would just hang out all day. We always swam out to the pontoon and jumped off it or had competitions to see who could stay on the longest and push each other off. We also did quite alot of snorkelling and kayaking. They reef and all the fish was beautiful! We also all went on the banana boat together and on the biscute too. We would also go and play volley ball together or play ping pong, swim in the pool or just swim in the beautiful clear water of the sea. The meals were really good aswell. They would have huge buffets set out and each night would have a different theme! Which was really awesome! After dinner there would always be entertainment on, like crap racing, frog racing, a talent show or fir dancers. It was really sad to see my friends leave and to leave my friends! But we all still keep in touch which is good. I had the time of my life in Fiji :D x

A story that I wrote when I was little (NUMBER TWO)

My Pet Dinosaur

One day I was walking along and I saw the most funny shop. It was a dinosaur shop. I wondered what was in the dinosaur shop so I went in to see. When I walked in there was a terrible noise. I had about $200 so I went and had a look for a dinosaur I could buy. The one that caught my eye was snakk, it was blue, green and yellow. I thought it was the most prettiest animal I had ever seen! That day I cought that dinosaur and we did lots of silly things together. I named her Lilly. She eats all the grass. She hates brockaly, and carrots. Her personality, ahe is really silly, sometimes she goes running around the garden. She is blue, green and yellow. She is a plant eater. Her habbits are eating everyones lawn and trying to eat the christmas tree. Me and Lilly do everything together. She is sad to see me go to school. But when I get home there is plently of time for fun and games. At Christmas I wlways get her presents. Me and Lily have a big secret, Mum doesnt know that I have a pet dinosaur. If she knew she would go crazy. One day I found 5 dinosaur eggs, thats when Mum found out and went crazy. Mum told Dad and Dad grounded me. Me and Lilly still have a secret but no one knows. We're still waiting for the eggs to hatch.

HAHAHA... Im pretty sure Im the only one that can understand that one!! :D

A story I wrote when I was little Hahahaha.

Well, I was looking through my primary school portfolio and found heaps of storys I had written years ago. I picked the funniest ones to put on my blog... Heres the first one. :D

I was just finishing up my hot chocolate. Time for bed said mum. I ran to my bed and jumped on it. Mum tucked me in and said goodnight. I was quites tired so I feel asleep really fast. I was having a dream about being in space with lots of aliens. It was really unfamiliar because you know how in dreams things happen that you dont want to happen? Well, I think I was controlling my dream. I woke up and all of a sudden I got sucked into my dream. I was in space. I was floating around everywhere when a huge army of aliens appeared. I wasnt scared of them though because I was controlling them so I just sent them away crying. I got pushed out, then I ot sucked back in again. But this time I was in the jungle. I landed straight on a tigers back. He was pretty angry, so he shook me off. He was just about to attack me when a little monkey swung from the trees and picked me up. He was quite nice, we swung from the vines and I fell down. I was controlling my dream so I told myself to get pushed out. I got pushed out. It was now morning though. The next night I finished my hot chocolate and went to bed. Mum tucked me in and said goodnight. I think I will stay awake this time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I was little ok?

CRAZY stuff :o

You know when you sing in your head?
Well I have always wondered do you hear your voice when you sing in your head or the person who sings the songs voice?
Its CRAZY!

You know what else is crazy?
You only swallow your spit when you think about it!!
I aaaaallwayyyss do this.
Your sitting there thinking... Am I swallowing or not?
And then once you start thinkin about it... You start swallowing.
But when you forget about it... You stop!
Its also CRAZY!

And the craziest thing of all...
Does eveyone see the same colours or do we all see different ones but just call them the same?
For example Johnny sees blue and Sally sees green but they both think they are called orange?
Get it?
Its confusing... and CRAZY!

When my dad went to hospital! =[

In the middle of the last 2 week holidays my dad was sent to hospital. We had just got back from Whakatane and mum and dad were sitting on the couch watching tv and I was on the computer. I overheard mum and dad talking about how dad was feeling really sick but I didnt really think that much of it. It was only when dad went to bed at about 5:30pm that I got a little bit worried. I asked mum what was going but she just mumbled and ignored me. So I kept going on at her untill she told me the truth. When she finally told me she said that dad had a really aching sharp pain at the back of his head and neck. Dad got out of bed and came into the lounge and said that he couldnt sleep because it hurt too much. He would go really pale but he would get big surges of pain and when this happened his face went bright red, almost purple. Mum got dad a bag of peas to but on the back of his head/ neck but it didnt help. Mum then told me to go and get the phonebook and call the A and E in Red Beach and see if they were open. By then I was getting quite scared. I got up and ran around the house looking for the phonebook... I finally found it and called the A and E and they said that they were open! I was sooo relieved. But still very scared. We got in the car! I could tell that dad was scared! I could tell that mum was scared too because she was panicking and driving quite fast and trying to overtake slow cars. I was extremely scared too but I didnt want to say anything or show it because it would just make it worse for my dad. We finally got there and we went straight into the doctor... He gave dad a blood test and painkillers but they didnt seem to work. I remember sitting opposite my dad and looking at how much pain he was in... I had to hold back my tears. he was holding the back of his neck and scrunching up his face in pain. I looked at his legs and feet and they had gone all pale and blotchy which scared me. At one point I didnt know if he was breathing or not because his face went purple with pain. I started to get really scared so my mum sent me out to sit in the waiting room because I was panicking. She didnt want me to scare dad anymore than he already was. I watched as the doctor came out of the room and say to the lady sitting at the front desk "Call and ambulance". I ran into the room where mum and dad were and asked why they were calling an abulance... Dad just smiled at me and winked but I could still see the pain on his face. The reason I was so scared was because dad always has headaches and back aches and things like this and he can normally take alot of pain but this time he couldnt... It was just to much! When the ambulance got there they wheeled in a bed so they could carry him in. He looked so scared when he was lying in the bed... and I wanted to help him, but there was nothing that I could do. Me and mum followed behind the abulance in the car. It was horrible because I could slightly see through the tinted windows. I saw them getting towels out and I absolutly freaked. I was like "Mum why are they getting towels out.. Whats happened?". All I could think about was my dad dying which terrifyed me. When we got to the hospital we ran out the car and into the emergency room to find dad. When we found him he looked really really pale and I was talking to the lady that went in the abulance with him asking if he was okay and what happened and everything. She said that he threw up as soon as they gave him morphine? I think thats what it was called. Dad looked terrifyed and very very pale... but he said he felt a tiny it better than before which relieved me. I told dad I loved him and gave him a hug then they wheeled him away to a ward in the emergancy room! Me and mum sat with him for a while but we decided we should go for a walk to let him sleep. So we decided to go and look for the tea and coffee room! On our way back from the room... We got lost! I never thought that5 hospitals could be so confusing, but by the end of the night i was pro as at knowing my way around it! Haha. Once we got back dad told us that they were going to go and give him a cat scan to see if there was any bleeding inside his head! And Oh my gosh! This guy that was like 500 years old came up to me and was like... Ohhh you look very nice... I just want to take you home!! I was like... Ummm thanks? And mum was like... you cant sorry, shes mine. And then we walked away. But he started following us... So we had to hide and get the nurse to take him back to his ward. It was quite funny! Me and mum sat in the hallway because we didnt want to wake dad up or distract him... So we sat there from about 7 till 3 in the morning. The nurse then told us that its best if we go hom now because there is no point in staying because the hospital is getting very crowded and we wont find out the results of the scan till morning anway! So we got in the car and went home. It took us a while to find our way and we got crazily lost! But we found our way eventually. I think my mum was getting quite annoyed at me because I kept asking... Mum, do you think hes going to be okay? I knew what I was doing.. I just couldnt seem to stop myself from saying it! On the way home we got a call from dad saying that there was no bleeding in his brain and that they had absolutly no idea what it was. They out him on this drip thing just incase it was severe dehydration and he had haps of cords cables and needles attactched to him but they still couldnt figured out what it was. Me and mum went back to the hospital and 6 in the morning to see him! He said it still hurt but he felt a bit better! We left at about lunch time! And I was so so so glad he was okay! I thought I was going to loose my dad that night and Im so thankful that I didnt! It really makes you think twice about your family and how lucky you are to have them! Never take them forgranted.

Netball

One of the sports I play is Netball. I play for sharks and I am in the 2nd team. I am going to tell you about a few basic rules of netball!...

There are 7 positions:

C- Center - Starts the center pass... Can go anywhere appart from circle.

WA- Wing Attack - Can only go in centre third and their third of the court.

WD- Wing Defence - Can only go in centre third and in oppositions third of the court.

GA- Goal Attack - Can go in centre third, their third and in their circle. Can shoot goals.

GD- Goal Defence - Can go in centre third, oppositions third and in oppostions circle.

GK- Goal Keep - Can only go in oppositions third and in oppositions circle.

GS - Goal Shoot - Can only go in their third and in thier circle. Can shoot goals.

A few basic rules are:

- You can not step with the ball which means when you catch the ball you must keep your feet grouded.

- You can not hold the ball for any longer than 3 seconds otherwise it is held ball.

- When your partner has the ball you must defend them 3 feet away.

- When you are pulled up for obstruction or contact you must stand down.

- Its a good idea to always stick with your partner.

- When the ball goes out of court the team that did not touch the ball last throws it in.

- If you go offside it is the other teams ball. The same for stepping.

- You can not grab the ball out of peoples hands.

- You can not bounce the ball otherwise it is replay ball.

There are alot more rules but it would take me forever to write them all down!

NETBALL IS AWESOME!
