“Teach me how to dougie” I felt the rhythm going through my body then before you knew it I was on the dance floor doing the dougie.
Jephte and I were going to dance first, but I was kinda shy so I stayed back and watched him go first. While I was watching him I started to get hyped up then, I joined him. Fortunately I made it to the next level with other people, but what a shame, Jephte didn’t make it.
Before the semi finals there were four of us remaining. There was Mary, Rita, James and me. I could tell that Rita was shy too so that was my advantage to try and beat her.
I have to admit they were pretty good dancers that I was battling... Mary was one of them.
It was now in the semi finals and the last two standing were Mary and I. We gave it all our best! She stopped quite early, but I didn’t want to stop at ALL! So I kept on dancing. Unexpectedly the song stopped. So then that was the last of it. We all stood around in a circle then Mr Barks called out the winner. “And the winner is... Nezinli” he said it as if he was like a commentator.
I had to go and walk up onto the stage and get my award. There were three choices. One of them was a bouncy ball that lights up in the dark, number two was very big pen and the last choice was some glow bands. I had to think very fast and hard so then I picked the bouncy ball. It was quite fun to play with it because, it was dark and you could see it better.
So we ended the social off with a music that will make us remember this NIGHT.

Volley Trials- Fingers Crossed
WOW! This is going to be real challenging to try and make it in the team because, all the others look real good at playing volley.
Year 7 and 8 students from Pt England are trialling for the volleyball team. If you want to make it on the team you will have to bring your very best attitude and your high level skills. Without too much effort I reckon that I did pretty good, but then .... When I think about it, I reckon that I could've done better.
We had to get into groups of nine and it was boys against girls.
It was time to start the game and I was one of the first nine people on the court. We’ll be doing a strategy of three hits. A pass, a set and finally a spike. We gave it a try, but most of the time we were unsuccessfully.
Why did we fail our strategy? Because there was a lack of communication. We had to convince ourselves that we could do better. We knew that we could do it, but I think that some of us didn’t believe in ourselves.
Before you knew it, Mr Barks was quite interested in us. He was pulling people off the court because he was quite interested and could see that we were doing better.
Miss Vaafusuaga was a spectator, but was watching the girls and pulling the ones that were impressing her off the courts.
With luck on our side, some of us were impressive and Mr Barks invited us back for the next trial date.
I’ve just checked out the latest team list and i'm still on it lets hope it stays like that.

The New And Improved
I never knew that there was an amusing test that ever existed.
Jesiah and I were talking about the beep test. It took place just in front of the staff room and while we were talking about it the main question I asked him repeatedly is that “Is this test going to be boring?”
From my point of view I thought that all tests were boring, all quiet and lots of thinking, but mainly just using pencil and paper and sitting in one spot... This time I was wrong. This test was the best, most interesting and energetic test that was ever set.
Waiting for a demonstration from Kamire to show people like me (who hadn’t been before) how to do it. As quickly as he could he showed us the act for this course. Meanwhile, we were all waiting for Miss Vaafusuaga to set up her equipment for the beep test. Room 18 were preparing to begin with stretching, focusing and convincing ourselves we can do it.
For the beep test we had to run up and down the courts, All while we had to beat the beep.
It was my very first time doing the beep test, but it has inspired me to do it again. The first lap I was doing better than I thought, but after a while I was getting tired, each lap got harder and harder and more tiering. If I had to rate myself out of 10 I’d say about a 6 out of 10, but next time I will be more prepared to this test again.
To do that I will cut down on the chocolate, but I will not quit.

Unexpected Birthday
I can’t believe it, but I have forgotten my very own birthday! How wrong is this? Sad but true, and this is how it all played out.
Waking up, I thought today was just going to be another ordinary day , but...NO WAY! Unexpectedly, my mum shouted, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!!!” I stood where I was, completely confused and wondered aloud, “What in the world are you talking about?” “Ahhh ,it is MY birthday,” I said as I smacked myself on the side of the head.
When I finally got up, I was as hungry as a grizzly bear that had missed out on its’ dinner. It felt like I was going to starve to death, but fortunately, there was some outstanding news that would save me. I rushed to the shower, got dressed, and set out to annoy my mum by asking her repeatedly, “Can we go now?” She eventually agreed, and we hopped in the car . We were on our way.
I saw something in the distance and wondered what it was. As we got closer ,I saw the sign more clearly,“Happy Days!” It is a restaurant, and my growling stomach is more than a little excited. Closer, closer, almost there now. I opened the door and there it was, my best friend. I grabbed a plate and walked over to the buffet to say hello. Good to see you Butter Chicken! Where have you been Hot Crispy Chips?
I love my friends!

How To Achieve My Goal
This picture is Havea.
”Do you reckon I can do this?” if you don't know what I mean well then.... just hear me out.
Havea, my friend and I are going to race on athletics day and my goal is to beat him. We are going to race at Pt. England school and if you don't know where it is, it is in New Zealand, just around G.I. When? Next term!
How am I going to achieve my goal? I plan to work hard and not to eat junk food. This is going to be really hard for me because I LOVE junk food! I am going to work as hard as I can to beat him. If I don't ...well let’s just say for now, that I will. (I’m already breathing heavily) I have butterflies, but I know I can do it!
Why don’t you tell me what you think. Who do you think will win?

Wedding Day
I had a privilege to go and see my first wedding. It wasn’t how I thought it would be, but it was better that I thought.
The family and I went to the wedding. It wasn’t a big wedding it was just a normal one. When I went to this wedding it was a experience to see how weddings happen and how families get very emotional...
While we were still trying to arrive there was a bit of frustrating in the car because we didn’t know where to go. We were making phone calls and asking some of our relatives where the wedding was ? Unfortunately the first phone call didn’t help. Suddenly we figured out where to go and made it just in time.
WOW!!! It was a surprise when I saw my cousin wearing a tuxedo... because he just usually wear jeans and a baggy shirt. That was my absolute first time I’ve seen him not wear what he usually wears. It was a very big congrats to the new couple that have been married.
When the ceremony was finished it was time to take pictures. It was quite funny because I was almost taller than my cousin who got married even when she had high heels. People had to go up with their family and take pictures with the two unique people that got married.
The moment has come... it was time to go to the restaurant and have a big feast. We all had to arrive at a certain time and over 70 people came. We were eating at a restaurant called Happy Days... Anyway I really enjoyed that feast because it had all sort of tasty meal there. It was a chance to go and see my first wedding and I took it. At the end we all left with happiness and joy.
