Noooooo. Not allowed to blog after 9pm?

Well Miss Davies (our teacher) Has made a rule that we are not allowed to blog after 9 pm. That is like taking caramel from caramel chocolate or taking short away from shortbread (in that case you get bread). So now my life is doomed... just kidding. Any who I've published this blog post at 9:04 (which by the way is to late to be blogging) so that my teacher get's irritated.

Vrede uit (Peace out in Afrikaans)

P.S If you think we should be allowed to blog after 9 I have changed my old poll and you can vote on  that now. He he.
P.P.S No matter what you say if you say yes we should be allowed to blog after 9 I don't think it will change Miss Davies' decision.

AAAAAAH! Altiyan Childs Won X Factor Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):):)

Yaay! Sorry I just can't contain my joy Altiyan Childs won X Factor. That's really exciting for me because usually when I want someone ti win a contest on TV and things like that they always come second or last BUT I wanted Altiyan to win and he did. I saw his interview on Campbell Live and i think what he said was kinda touching well actually Alityan's mum said this "Your dad pushed you, Ronan (Keating) carried you, but the Australian people received you"  no point in writing that but it sounds quite nice. But if you want to know what my reaction was when the winner of X Factor was announced then here ya go:

"And the WINNER of X Factor Australia 2010 is..." there was a drum roll. My heart pounding, crossed fingers hoping it was the rock sensation Altiyan Childs... "ALTIYAN CHILDS" a loud roar from the crowd in the TV went up and I was jumping up and down like a mad person. "IT'S ALTIYAN IT'S ALTIYAN!!" I shrieked. I swear if I screamed one more time I would have lost my voice. I was sooooooooo excited... not sooooooo excited but SSSSSOOO EXCITED. Wait what I just said before understatement of the year there are no words to explain how happy I was. I know you must be thinking "Oh my gosh crazy Atarah getting so excited just for the winner of X Factor' BUT you're lucky I'm to excited to care about what you think because If I wasn't so excited you had better watch out... for the TOOTH FAIRY. Very dry joke Atarah.

Anywho Sally and Andrew did well (I put Andrew in Italics because I was saying his name through gritted teeth) 
But Mr. Childs impressed Australia more and he deserved to win. Oh and one more thing...
Go Altiyan!!!!:)

P.S All you viewers from Australia if you know Altiyan or anyone who know's Altiyan or anyone who know's someone who know's Altiyan tell them to tell him to read this post on my blog

Wee Wee!... Wait Wii Wii!

Hello this is the reason why I haven't been blogging recently:
Because of wee! Sorry I mean Wii! Yes my Grandma bought us Wii! She left to South Africa for 6 months so she bought us our Christmas present early. We have Black Wii because our TV is Black and it looks awesome. But more importantly playing with it is awesome. So do you want to know about what happened that day? If you said no TOOO BAD I'm going to tell you anyway (oh yeah and by the way it's not wee you make in the toilet it's a gaming thing like Play Station):

We were dropping our grandma of at her house and she told us she was going to give us Wii which she had bought for us for Christmas. We were so excited and as we came to her house I hopped out with her so that I could get the Wii. As I  went up the stairs towards the entrance of the house I was tingling inside with excitement. "Yay thank you so much grandma" I said as she handed me the bag with the Wii stuff in it. I hurried back to the car and we drove home anxiously waiting to finally take the Wii out of the box. When we got home I grabbed the packet and  spread the bit's and pieces on the floor. We took out everything from inside the boxes and connected everything to the TV we. Once everything was connected we looked at the 2 games we had. Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. We put Wii Sports in first and me and my sister played Tennis. I WON! Wii is really fun and you know what I didn't think that a gaming thing could make me sweat so much.We wanted Wii for Christmas and we got Wii for Christmas...hmmm wonder If I want an iPod touch for Christmas will I get an iPod Touch for Christmas?

Sorry to All you Guys

Hello there.
I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging for the last 4 days but once I write my next blog post I hope you'll understand why. So sorry and keep reading the blog!

All Hope Lost For The 29 Miners

Hello.
Yesterday the 24th of Novemeber 2010 there was a second explosion at Pike River Mine. The people who were in charge of looking out for the people trapped in the mine said that there was no way that those miners could have survived that blast and that now in stead of a Search and Rescue the operation has become a Search and Recovery rescue. I felt really sad when they announced the miners were no longer alive and that they couldn't get them out alive. There were people from all around the world and the youngest of the miners was 17. The oldest of the miners was 62.
My prayers are with the miners families as the cope through this hard time. May they be comforted by the Lord's peace.

The people who are trying to save the miners have said that they are preparing for loss of life. But they are also going to send in a robot that can take pictures underground and the robot can also sense movement. What is the cause of all these miners getting stuck down there.

Altiyan Childs! X Factor!

Some of you may watch X Factor Australia and if you do you must know that Andrew Lawson, Sally Chatfield and Altiyan Childs are in the Final 3. I think Altiyan should win and here are a few reasons why he should win
1. His vocals are amazing. He's a rock singer and when he rocks those rock songs he can rock the satge like mad.
2. As I said in Number one he can ROCK the STAGE which means he interacts with audience to make them get all worked up and excited.
3. He looks like a real rock star with his long hair and the way he dresses
4. Just because (do not question this reason because the answer will always be just because)
and last but not least
5. Because I want RONAN KEATING to WIN out of all the judges because he was in boyzone!!!

Afrikaans sentence for the day

I'm starting a new thing called Afrikaans sentence for today. Afrikaans is a language spoken in South Africa... WHERE I COME FROM! So I will give you 1 OR 2 sentences so that you can have a basic conversation with an Afrikaans speaking person if you ever meet one so here are your 2 sentences in Afrikaans.
 "Hallo my naam is..."  This sentence is pronounced like this: Hello May Naam issss (iss is like you're hissing) and it means Hello my name is... (... means whatever your name is) and your next sentence is:
"Wat is jou naam?" This sentence is pronounced like this: Vat isss (another hiss) yo (as in yo wazzup) naam. This sentence means "What is your name?" So now you can introduce yourself in Afrikaans AND ask someone else what their name is. Keep checking out for the next Afrikaans sentence.

Baby Sis Nearly 2 weeks old!

Well you probably know that my family have a baby in the house and tomorrow (22/11/10) she will be 2 weeks. I forgot to write about her 1st week but I will talk about both. The first week with baby was awesome. She has chubby cheeks and you want to kiss all the time. She is so cute when she sleeps but when she cries she's not that cute. I wuv mwy bybe sistwer... oops gone all mushy let me translate it for you I love my baby sister... that's what happens when woo got a twiny wittle bybe... oh I just love my little sis that I get really mushy sometimes let me translate again when you got a tiny little baby. The second week was even more awesome. She was a little bit bigger and more alert. Her eyes are wide open and she is very fascinated with things. Here is a list of things my sis is fascinated by:
Lights
Sun
Weird noises
Me... Just kidding!
I wuv mwy wittle sistwer a wot! (translated in English: I love my little sister a lot!)

AAH! La la la! Do badee do bap skiddly dang! Bup a doo... Sorry had to much Coffee!

Sorry about that singing but I had to much coffee. I love coffee and do you want to know why? Because it tastes yuck! You must think I'm a lunatic by saying that but I don't know that's why I like it. Here are some of the great words Elliot the deer from OPEN SEASON said about coffee

"Eew! Yuck! It tastes disgusting and wonderful at the same time... IT'S LIKE FREEDOM IN THE CUP!"

Any who coffee is also bad. That's why I 'm not aloud to drink all the time. But when my mum goes to Mcafe I do sometimes sneak a couple of sips from her coffee. To conclude I would like to say:


I LOVE COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!

Gala Gala Gala Gala Gala Gala Gala!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Gala is coming to town. Well not really to town seeing that some of you read this blog from around the world. Anyway. There is a lot of fun and games and our class is doing a Bottle Tombola and the whole pod is doing SHERBET!!!!! The sherbet at our school gala is the best sherbet I have ever tasted!  The gala is a really fun event we have at school every year. There are games and heaps of cool stalls. There is a lot of fun things to do and it is definitely not boring. On a scale from 1-10 (10 being excellent)
I would rate the gala 100. There is even going to be one of those games where you throw a ball at a target and if you hit the target there's a person sitting over a water tank who falls in the water. Overall the gala is awesome!

Baby's Home!!!

Well this is going to be a short blog but I want to give you a little insight on baby's first day at home (which is the day I wrote this blog)
My Aunty brought the baby home and when we saw her car we were bursting with excitement. She was asleep when she got in but woke up after a while. We put her in a bassinet we have in our lounge and she was sleeping there until someone went there and messed with her and she started to cry. There was a lot of crying on her first day at home but the highlight for me was when she had her second bath but first bath at home. She was crying because she didn't like the water but what would you choose a smelly baby or a clean nice-smelling baby. I would go with clean. After that she was a bit sleepy but she was still awake. She is so cute and I  wonder how her first night at home will go (I'm guessing not very well)

Baby Girl!!

 O MY GOSH!! I have a new little sister. We haven't decided on a name yet but we like Zipporah! I am really excited because the baby is sssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! She weighs 3.4kg which is 7.5 pounds. She is absolutely tiny and soft. But if you really want to know what happened the day my mum gave birth here is what happened:

"Please come today, please come today" I said hoping and praying the baby would come that night. That night my father had just arrived from Wellington so I went to bed a little bit late. The next 7 hours later I hear my dad going "Atarah wake up, mum's going to have the baby"
'Maybe my dad is just trying to get me up" I though to myself. But fortunately I opened my eyes and it was still dark and I checked my watch. It was 5:00am. Wait I'm not a light sleeper and I hate getting up. Maybe these past few weeks I've been on alert for the baby but anyway mum can't wait that long. My dad would definitely not joke about this. He was even carrying my little sister because she wasn't waking up. So I jumped out of bed as quick as a flash and honestly got dressed in 1 minute.
'Well I was close enough. I wanted the baby to come last night but the baby's coming this morning' I thought as I put on some socks. I took my school uniform and my school bag with me because I really wanted to go to school after the baby was born. I hopped into the car and as we were pulling in to the carpark at the hospital I had just realised something. You may think I am dumb for doing this, but I will have you know that I am 10 and I read at 16+. The thing that I realised was that... I had remembered my school bag and school uniform but had forgotten to bring something so simple that I felt so silly...SHOES!!Yes I had forgotten shoes but my mum needed to get to hospital so that could wait. I walked into the hospital with my purple and pink striped socks with a hole in it (my trademark) and set in the waiting area. My dad stayed with us and texted some people while we were waiting for my grandma to come and stay with us in the waiting room. When she came we played memory game and ludo because I had to carry some board games. My grand was there at 15 to 6 and we got there sometime between 5- 10 past 5 (or sooner). My dad and grandma had turns to go in with mum but it was dad's turn to go in when the baby came. All we heard was
"AAAAH OOOF' (my mum)
"Waaa waaa naaa gaaa" (the baby)
When I heard the crying I started to run up and down the hallway. When my dad brought the baby out I was beyond,beyond ecstatic.
My little sister born on the 8th of November  sometime after 6am. I'll Love my little sister forever and ever and I will look after her like she was the most precious thing in the world. That is how much a Sister loves her sisters (except when they get annoying!...Not exactly!)

Wake Up, Go Back To Sleep... MISS A RUGBY GAME!!!

Finally I get to write about rugby after a long time anyway on with the blog:

"Atarah check what time the Bok's are playing" my dad said.
"They're playing at 6:30. I think I can wake up for that" I replied . So I go to bed. I wake up and check what time it is on my watch. It's 6:00. "Maybe I should get out of the bed so I don't fall of to sleep again" I thought to myself as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "No It's only half and hour so I think I can wake up until 6:30"
I got back to sleep. I wake up and check my watch "9:00!" I quietly said to my self. So I brushed my teeth and then went to my mum's laptop. This is the part where it sort of goes bad and yucky so skip the next few lines if you can't take yucky. My Nose started bleeding and some of it went on my mums bed. (Now it's not yucky just bad) My mum's laptop had run out of charge and I couldn't plug the charger in because it was downstairs the only choice was to hold the laptop with one hand while the other held a tissue to my nose. When I plugged in the charger I went onto the New Zealand Herald website to find an article on the Bok's game against Ireland. Here is the information about the game

Springbok's WON ! 23-21. Juan Smith intercepted a pass and ran 65metres and he slid in for a try. Morne Steyn missed 3 of 4 penalty kicks which ended his streak of 41 straight goals. But what is most important is that Springboks won. The All Blacks also won against England and the Wallabies won against Wales. Anyway you will be seeing more blogs about rugby as we get closer to the Rugby World Cup 2011 here in New Zealand. I'm Atarah, 3 News... Just kidding See ya!

Extravagant Art

At school we are going to have an art sale. We have to do 4 pieces of art. Our first piece of art is Dot Art. You will find this type of artwork in Australia as it is of Aboriginal origin. this artwork is made up of single dots made by a toothpick.
Although it is Australian we made it our own by making kiwi icon pictures out of the dots. We also had to put koru’s or some Maori design in the middle. Our second piece of artwork was to glitter art. All of the art we did had something to do with New Zealand so this glitter art pattern had to be a  Maori koru or a Pacific  Island flower. we first had to design our own Koru or Flower.
Then we had to take 2 pieces of square cardboard and Draw our design on them. I taped the cardboard at the back and then drew my design on the front so I could connect the cardboard later on in the process. When I had finished drawing the koru I had to glitter the inside of it. I chose green for the inside and then I had to wait and let it dry.
When it finished drying (which took a day or so) I glittered the outside gold (Colours of the Springboks). When that dried We used black PVA glue to go around the pattern.
Our third activity was to draw a famous landmark in New Zealand and go around it in vivd and then dye the background. We had to do a sunset or sunrise background. Our 4th piece of artwork was were we had to stickle our piece of  black paper with green paint and then after that we had to stickle over the top of the dark green with light green. When the light green paint had dried we had to use long pieces of cardboard and short pieces of cardboard to make pohutokawa’s. When we had completed all 4 of those pieces of art we had to choose which one we wanted to sell at the art sale and  chose my dot art. The art is selling for $5 so please buy mine!
