Guitar Practise

On Sunday my family and I went to church. We prayed and sang songs until Mass ended.

After Mass we went to Sylvia Park to buy the things that we needed for this week. As we passed Eb Games I saw flash, new games that was going to be released this November and I wanted to pre-order one of them. I asked my mum if I could but she said maybe, so I’ll have to wait until the end of this term if I can get one.

Next we had a bit of lunch and then we went straight home. Once we arrived I took out my guitar and the computer to search for a song that was easy for me to play since I was a beginner. I was practising on changing of chords. I had to keep repeating the video so that I could understand what I was doing.

By the time I finished it was 8 o'clock and I had to go to bed. I had a lot of fun and I hope I have more free time so I could keep practising and become better.

Xbox Fail

Last Sunday, my family and I went to church. It was a special Mass last week because one of the priests is turning 30 on Tuesday the 21st of May. At the end of the mass, there was cake for everyone and no one was to leave the square without a piece.

After Mass, we went to Sylvia Park to shop for food. We bought lots of things and reached our maximum spending. When we finished shopping my dad packed the food into the car, while my mum, little brother and I went to Dick Smith since my brother got a gift card for his birthday.

It took a long time for my little brother to pick what he wanted, until we got to the gaming section. We saw a head set for my Xbox on sale and we wanted it badly. “No” Said mum. We waited for dad come and when he did we asked him instead but in the end we didn’t get to buy it.

We went to KFC for lunch and then we went home. My brother and I took out the Xbox and played NBA for a while. We kept playing until my brother said he was too tired and wanted to watch me instead. So I played NBA league and I had an awesome time. When the match finished I looked at how much I scored. I had 21 and I was going to be the man of the match! But then I accidently pressed the eject button with my toe and the game stopped and the disk came out. “ No! All my hard work for nothing. The game didn’t save! Why does it always happen to me?” I wailed. So I turned it off and went off to watch some television.

Next week I hope I don’t accidentally press it again or the console might crash. I can’t wait until next week.

The Most Exciting Tech Project

Today for tech we started the main project. Mr Niah told us that to choose our favourite cartoon character and write a paragraph why we chose it.

When we finished it he gave us two pieces of wood one larger than the other. Mr Niah said to draw the cartoon character on the small piece for practice before the big piece. My cartoon character was tricky since the claws was hard to cut. I started to use the file to file my one down and use sandpaper to make it smooth. Mr Niah said to fold the sandpaper to make the claws a bit sharp.

Once I finished I went to the poker work machine which burns the wood to make my drawing outline stand out. We ran out of time and I was a bit disappointed because I was just half way and it was so exciting.

I can’t wait for next Thursday and continue my cartoon character and finish it.

My Easter Holiday

On Easter Sunday my family and I did something different this year, instead of going for trip around New Zealand like we usually do we instead went to St Patrick and St Joseph's Cathedral for mass.

After the readings the priest talked about what happens at Easter and what it means to us and how it affects our way of thinking of God. We prayed and sang hymns and when we finished we were 30 minutes earlier than usual.

Since all the shops was closed we went to the beach. We had a little dip in the water and bought food and we thanked God for sending Jesus to save us and for the food. We had lots of fun at the beach and then it was time to go home.

We were tired by the time we reached home. I hope we do something more special next year.
