Yashani's Birthday

On the 18th of July it was Yashani's Birthday and we went to their house.

We played HULLABALLOO when it says,"Stay on that pad is anyone touching that noise, then it says the word." I won 7 times, Yashani won 6 times and my brother Raneel won 5 times. We had Wendy's for dinner and Yashani chose that because it was her birthday. Raju Kaka and Zaydenbhai got the dinner. I had hawaiian pizza with my dinner too. We did Yashani's cake and then we played Dance Central 2 on XBox 360. My high score is 500,000. The highest score is 522,000 and it was scored by Yashani. I was really good at that game. It was just my first time playing it and I was really good.

Making Gingerbread Men

Today we did some baking and we made Gingerbread Men. I made a happy face and a kiwi. We put some writing icing fudge to decorate. It tasted really nice.

Here's the recipe if someone wants to make it. My aunt (Nee Masi) gave it to my mum.

3 tablespoons golden syrup
75g castor sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 1/2 teaspoon ginger
75g butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
225g plain flour

Preheat oven to 180 degrees

Place golden syrup, sugar, water and spices into large saucepan

Remove from heat and add butter and baking soda

Add flour a little at a time until mixture makes a firm dough

Put in fridge to chill for a few minutes, then roll to desired thickness depending on how crunchy you would like them.

Once cool cut out shapes and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until crisp.

Super Rugby Blues vs Force

Last night, we went to Eden Park to watch the Blues play Force. Blues got 13 points in the first half and the Force got 9 points in the first half. The Blues got 19 points in the second half and the Force got 0 points in the second half. The Blues won 32-9 - they won by 23 points! I felt ecstatic because I knew the Blues won. The try scorers were Steve Luatua, Charles Piutau, Ma'a Nonu and Luke Braid.

We also got a Blues rugby ball, we got an extra because Mum found one on the ground. We got chocolate coins from the man who had blue face paint on him and he tossed it up. Mum took a funny photo of me with my 2 chocolate coins in front of my eyes.

At the end of the game I had a photo with Liaki Moli, Steve Luatua, Francis Saili, Michael Hobbs, Orene Ai'i, Tevita Mailau, Pat Lam (the coach) and Angus Ta'avao. I said to Steve Luatua "Brilliant first try."and he said "Thanks mate."

Afterwards, we walked back to Gee Masi and Mike Masa's house.
