Have you ever stayed up late on Friday nights before?
On Friday night my family and I went to KFC for a delicious treat. We ordered rice, spicy chicken and water. After we started eating, my family wanted more rice. They wanted to go home but I told them not to. They told me that they would save more money on food if we went home and had rice.
After that my family ordered three plastic to pack-up our food. We went home with our old red car. On the way home, I saw a lot of of cars. There were red ones, blue ones, white ones and a lot more. When we reached home, my stomach was growling so loudly because I was so hungry.
I rushed into my house opened up the door and quickly set the plates for the chicken and rice and cups for the warm water. When I are the spicy chicken my mouth felt like it was going to combustion. So I drank the warm water quickly but it had no effect.
When we finished eating, my mouth was still burning and I wanted my mouth to be frozen. After that, I watched a movie with my parents in the lounge room. It was an action movie. When the movie finished my parents a romance movie in our bedroom but I didn’t watch it so I stayed in the lounge by myself.
It was 10:45 when I noticed the time and the romance movie ended at the same too. My parents came out and cooked yummy scrambled eggs. The yummy scrambled eggs took three to to five minutes to cook. Then we hungrily ate all of it. The scrambled eggs gave me more energy to stay awake to watch videos. I stayed up until midnight. Finally, I felt sleepy so I crawled to my room and got into my comfortable bed with soft pillows. I was fast asleep.
I had a lot of fun but I didn’t like the spicy chicken because it made me, feel like my mouth was on fire!

One perfect birthday party!
On Thursday night we had a party at Carl’s Junior in Glen Innes. It was my friend’s brother’s birthday and my aunt's birthday. Before we entered Carl’s Junior, I noticed that it was becoming windy and dark. I thought it was going to be frosty that night but it wasn’t.
We entered Carl’s Junior and we ordered chips and burgers for dinner. My burger had pickles, steak, cheese and mustard. The chips was made from fresh potatoes.
When we finished eating, my friend bought nachos for dessert. The nachos was kind of spicy but I loved it. Then we got cups for drinks. My friends and I talked about mixing our drinks.
I mixed fanta, coca-cola and sprite. It tasted yummy but when I secretly burped it felt really weird. After that we played a game. My friend’s little brother brought a small yellow car to play with. The game was not to touch the yellow car. No one touched it because no one wanted to lose.
Before we left no one sang the happy birthday song. I felt shocked. People were being silent when they were going out for no reason. Some people were also getting more drinks and some people went to the toilet. I was just outside with two or three people waiting for the others.
That night everything was fine. No one was fighting but I didn’t believe how the others took so long doing unnecessary things. I hope we did have more fun like playing more games.

What a good party in the holidays!
On Saturday I went to a birthday party. It was my uncle’s mum’s birthday. We cooked yummy chicken for the party. My uncle’s sister also brought a delicious cake and some pizza. Everybody had so much fun at the party. There were lots of different kinds of drinks and foods.
When I came inside the house for the party, my uncle’s mum wasn't there so we had to wait. People started preparing the food while waiting. I played a game called “Sandbox” so I don’t feel bored.
When my uncle’s mum came, everyone was happy. My mother saw a cute little cat going through the wooden door. It was a stray cat. We wanted the cat out of the house. So we tried to find it but we failed.
After that we started eating the delicious food. Before we knew it, all the food was gone because everyone was hungry. People were having conversations while waiting. Then, it was time to cut the cake and blow the birthday candles. So we sang the happy birthday song then started eating the cake. It was yummy!
The cake was very delicious. The flavour was vanilla and chocolate. I gulped down the drinks because I was very thirsty. Everything in the party was good.
The party was fun but I wished I got to eat the pizza, I didn’t get to eat some because it ran out very fast even if there were three big boxes. Everybody loves pizza!
