Those Americans.....

Take their Halloween soooooo seriously. With their bags filled with candy, walking around dressed as chuck, all houses Halloweenish with their carved pumpkins. Us, we just have kids walking around saying "trick or treat" and getting lollies and lollies. So there is a poll up saying should people in New Zealand do Halloween like those Americans or keep it like we normally do? So get voting!

iPood......hehehe

Not really but I do have an iPood touch (iPod). It is awesome, it's got so many things from surfing the web to fighting games. But there's one thing that kinda stinks and that is cos my iPod touch is getting quite old and when I go to the shop and see all the new thing that are out in the world now I feel like I'm falling behind in technology. But that's fine because atleast I have something, some people around the world don't even have a good meal to eat everyday and they only get to drink river water. Anywho...ohhh wait...anyway (Apparently Atarah is only allowed to use anywho) you really need to get your self one of these because....ummmm.....just get an iPood touch.

Brilliant Berba Batters Rovers

Everything the Bulgarian touched turned to gold, or more pertinently goals, as United ran roughshod over a Rovers side who were frankly dire.

United's supporters have been waiting for a performance like this all season but when Sir Alex Ferguson's side get it right few opponents can cope with their buccaneering dash and thrust on the counter-attack.

It was Berbatov who will steal the headlines but it was a magnificent collective display that also saw goals for Park Ji-Sung and the irrepressible Nani, before Christopher Samba netted the scantest of consolations.

Since the new league was formed in 1992, only Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Jermain Defoe have scored five in a single game.

Dimitar Wins It For United

A goal in either half from Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov gave Manchester United a comfortable 2-0 win over Steve Bruce coached Sunderland at Old Trafford.

United dominated the game, especially in the opening 45 minutes, and were good value for their 2-0 win.

"Thank You Thank You Very Much"

That's all I could hear when I handed out the presents to the other...ohhh and yes I could hear "oooohh OMG". Anywho as you know 2 days ago it was Auckland anniversary.....kiddin'.

It was at our house and we had to put the presents by the big vase of fake flower since you know why and I was digging thru all the present to find mine and fortunately I didn't cos they hid mine. Anywho everyone had fun and at midnight we lit up a candle and celebrated my mum's birthday.

The Night Before The Really Big Day....

                                      Stare at that ceiling.

Sweaty palms, white knuckles, deep breaths in bed.

Maybe the ring’s stowed away and the reservations are made. Maybe the results are coming in and everyone’s coming over. Maybe you’re buttoning down for a new job or following your heart and leaving an old one.

As the moonlight shines in your window excitement bubbles in your brain.

It’s almost here.

Eating the First Freshly Baked Cookie From the Oven Even Though it’s Way Too Hot....

It burns.

Chocolate chips drip down your fingertips as that softly-crumbling cookie melts into a hot puddle of steamy goodness in the middle of your mouth. Gasp for air, pop your eyes, and suck in some cool breaths as you try to chew without touching that red-hot cookie lava.

Part of what makes these cookies delicious is that you can’t buy them at the store. Nope, stacks of paper-wrapped packs got nothing on the hot crumbly oozing across the burning pan. Remember, you sweated up a storm in the kitchen for these cracking eggs, melting butter, and beating the wet floury mixture into a sticky brown pulp.

Now is not the time to wait.

Now is the time to enjoy it.

I'm There!!!!! Wooooohooooo

Finally I have reached the toilet.....kiddin'. I have reached my 100 post!!!!! Woooohoooo!!!! This is my 100th post and I am so glad cos I have been working really hard to get here.

So now I have achieved my goal so bye...shhuu....go away....you've heard enough.

The first time You Get To Ride in The Front Seat Of The Car...

You waited a long time.

Cruising backwards in your baby seat, strapped into your toddler chair, sharing the bench with your little brother on those long drives downtown, you spent years putting up with child locks, bad views, and barf bags.

So when you finally get to ride in the front seat you deserve a big congratulations.

You just got promoted to adult.

Being Waited On Hand And Foot

Wake me up.

Take off my pyjamas. Put a shirt on me. Pull up my pants. Do up my zipper. Tie my shoes. Make me breakfast. Wash my hands. Put me in the car seat. Buckle me up. Blow my nose. Turn on the TV. Change the video. Change the video. Change the video. Take me to the store. Buy me a toy. Buy me lunch.
Hold me.

Give me a sucker. Stick it in my mouth. Pick it up off the floor. Clean off the dirt. Play with me. Make me laugh. Cook me supper. Put me in my chair. Cut up my food. Put it on my fork. Stick it in my mouth. Wipe it off my chin. Carry me upstairs. Sing me a song.

Bath me.

Finding Out Someone Has The Same Birthday As You...

Finding out someone shares a birthday with you feels like stars aligning, hearts criss-crossing, and lives twisting and tangling together.

If they share your actual year it’s even more special because you grew up sharing moments, memories and histories and horoscopes, too. Libra to Libra, Pisces to Pisces, you break it down around town chatting about childhood birthday parties, deliciously disgusting foods, and hometown habits that died hard.

Suddenly it’s a reminder it’s not just about you because someone else is partying hard on your party day.

Suddenly it feels like you’re sharing a secret.

Suddenly it feels like a friend.

When The Baby Crying on your flight Finally Shuts Up...

Look, I love babies.

Sure, we laugh, high five, sing songs, and play cars. We talk, read books, dream dreams, and stare at stars.
But one thing we agree to disagree on is proper behavior on overnight flights. Me, I like sleeping. Them, they like screaming for hours on the lap beside me.

Generally when this happens all I can do is focus all my energy on sending silent signals to their brain and hoping my message finally gets through.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up.

The Awful End!

"Okay room 17 get into a circle" Miss Davies said. "We're going to go around the circle and everyone has to say something about this year" so we started to go around the circle. Next to me was Ezrah, Vili and Nicholas. While they were talking, Shari was crying. Suddenly Hannah, Maristelle, Alex, Bridget and some of my friends were crying too! When it was my turn to speak I said a few words and said thanks to Miss Davies. Then a few people later it was Shari's turn. Vili and I were trying to hide our tears while she was talking but we couldn't so everyone notice. (embarrassing). The bell went. Everyone went to the stairs. Everyone was crying. I know for some of my friends I'll never see them again, and for others I will.

I want to thank Room 17 for giving me one of the greatest year.

I just want to say thank you to:

Ezrah and Vili for begging for my lunch everyday.

Yellow, 5 and the Simpsons

The Simpsons is an American animated television series created by Matt Groening. The show is set in the fictional city of Springfield.

Hobo: “And thanks to that little girl, today you can find apples in everything that's good: Apple wine, apple whiskey, apple schnapps, apple martinis, uh, Snapple with vodka in it, apple nail polish remover ...”

Lisa: “Don't forget apple sauce.”

Hobo: “Yeah ... I suppose you could grind some pills into it.”

Scarred 4 Life

Well not for life but I will have a scar for sometime......wait, let me start from the beginning. Today I had a operation of something thingy on my face so that means I didn't go to school. This "thingy' was on my face since I was born but thankfully now it's gone. "This is the only painful part Aashay" said the doctor. "well ok". Now I didn't go to sleep but the part where they operated on was numb by anesthetic which is...I don't know. Anyway, there I was lying on the bed they call, the "operation bed", happily talking to the doctor and my dad while half of my face is numb. The surgery had started and finished in no time and I was up and running the next minute except I had 7 stitches and a bandage on my face but that fine. To all those people who a scared to have an operation, to be honest it doesn't hurt.

Park Earns Praise

United went ahead four minutes before halftime when South Korean midfielder Park twisted to get his head on a Nani cross from the right which had taken a slight deflection off Arsenal defender Gael Clichy.

Manchester United knocked Arsenal off the top of the Premier League as they stifled their title rivals attacking flair with a 1-0 win thanks to Park Ji-sung's goal this morning.



They squandered the chance to go 2-0 up when Wayne Rooney fired a penalty well over the bar with just over a quarter of an hour left after Clichy had handled in the area at Old Trafford.

The hosts, unbeaten in the league this season and with the best home record, were facing the team with the best away form but Arsenal came up short and they now sit second on 32 points, two behind United who have a game in hand.

Indians... Aren't they So Indianish...

Don't you think Indians are so Indianish? I don't cos I am an Indian. Anyway this post is going to tell you alittle about the history of India although I was born in Fiji.

India is a land of ancient civilization, with cities and villages, cultivated fields, and great works of art dating back 4,000 years. India's high population density and variety of social, economic, and cultural configurations are the products of a long process of regional expansion.

India's official national sport is field hockey, administered by Hockey India. India's hockey team won the 1975 Hockey World Cup and 8 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals at the Olympic games, making it one of the world's most successful national hockey teams ever. Cricket, however, is by far the most popular sport.

Indian religions form one of the most defining aspects of Indian culture. Major dhármic religions which were founded in India include Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

That is only some of the history of India. Although I have never been to India I still am an Fijian Indian which is an Idian born in Fiji so there is some of the history of India.

Dimitar Berbatov Ends Drought In Style As Stunning Five-Goal Salvo Sends Rampant Red Devils Top

Dimitar Berbatov smashed home five goals to set Manchester United on their way to a 7-1 victory against a beleaguered Blackburn Rovers.

The Bulgarian dramatically ended his 13-hour drought to steal the headlines from a resurgent Wayne Rooney on his first Premier League start since September 26. The result saw United race to the top of the Premier League table before Chelsea face Newcastle United.

United burst out of the traps and took the lead in just the second minute through Berbatov. The Bulgarian poked home from close range from a Rooney flick after he beat Ryan Nelsen in the air.

Allardyce may have felt slightly aggrieved as the chance fell after Nani slid in on goalkeeper Paul Robinson. The ball then bobbled back towards the Portuguese who found Rooney with an inswinging cross.

Nani was firing on all cylinders. After a flamboyant back-heel brought him space on the half-way line, his shot was deflected safely into Robinson's hands.

United - with Rooney and Berbatov in ominous form - now looked dangerous with every attack. Rovers, however, refused to sink into the shadows and tried to give as good as they got.

Goulon was a menace in the middle, but the Frenchman's endeavour went unrewarded as Roberts cut an isolated figure.

Patrice Evra opened the scoring against Wigan Athletic and he went close in the 19th minute with a header from a corner which had been needlessly ceded by Christopher Samba.

A second goal seemed inevitable and Ji-sung Park found the back of the net in the 23rd minute. The Korean played a one-two with Rooney - which nutmegged Samba - and had time and space to beat Robinson from six yards.

Things were soon to turn from bad to worse for Rovers. A slack, unsighted back pass from Chimbonda was pounced upon by Berbatov in the 27th minute to make it 3-0.

In a gambit to stop the match slipping further away, Allardyce swiftly hooked the impressive Goulon to introduce the attacking flair of David Hoilett. Unfortunately for Rovers, the horse had already well and truly bolted from the gate by then.

The change made little effect on the flow of the game. A Nani free-kick drifted narrowly past captain Nemanja Vidic before Rooney saw a chipped pass to Park hammer off Nelsen's chest.

Any fears about the crowd reaction to Rooney disappeared as the support held their breath as the striker seemed to twist his suspect ankle in the 34th minute. He received treatment on the pitch and soldiered on despite Javier Hernandez's warm-up.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men kept the pressure cranked up. Berbatov was denied a first-half hat-trick in injury time as he was felled in the box by Michel Salgado, but referee Lee Probert failed to point to the spot.
 
The touch of genius from Rooney was back once more after it had abandoned him in Munich and South Africa. Rovers simply had no answer to his craft as United roared into their best 45-minute display of the campaign.

United kept Rovers on the rack and made the score 5-0 within minutes of the start of the second-half.
Berbatov completed his hat-trick on 47 minutes in glorious fashion. The Bulgarian picked up the ball on the edge of his own area and made light of accusations of laziness as he drove to the half-way line.

His inch-perfect pass found Nani. The winger then repaid the favour to see Berbatov sweep past Robinson.
Nani then finally got the goal his superb performance deserved a minute later. The Portuguese twisted Chimbona inside and out before he curled his effort into the right corner.

The irrepressible Nani almost gave the Theatre of Dreams what it wanted in the 55th minute, but his pass to Rooney was blocked by Salgado.

Berbatov was to only be temporarily out of the spotlight. He soon added goals four and five to make the score 7-0.

In the 62nd minute, another quick fire move saw a Park shot blocked by Samba. The deflected effort fell invitingly into his path and was ruthlessly slammed home.

The Bulgarian's afternoon to remember continued in the 70th minute when he was slipped in by Anderson. After his effort was intercepted by Nelsen, he kept his composure to fire the ball in past Robinson.

United toyed with their dismal opponents with Anderson in fine fettle in the middle. Indeed, it took until the 80^th minute for Samba to meekly head into Edwin van der Sar’s arms for their first chance.

The giant centre-back wasn’t to be denied and in the 83^rd minute he headed in debutant Josh Morris’ cross to add a dash of gloss to the score line.

A Rooney cross then found Berbatov in the 88^th minute but the on-song centre forward was denied a remarkable sixth by Robinson.

Upon the final whistle, both United and Berbatov had put in the perfect performance to further unsettle early pacesetters Chelsea.

Reds win Against 9-Man Wigan.....

After their draw with Villa last weekend Manchester United will look to return to winning ways when Wigan visit Old Trafford this Saturday. While their away form has let them down this season, at home, Manchester United have been strong and Wigan will be up against it here.


The goals were by Evra assisted by Ji-sung Park where a beautiful shot was taken straight to the back of the net. The second was From Hernandez assisted by Rafael where a shot was taken and it went right into the corner.

Man U have yet another win and they are lying 2nd on the table.

Tragic Death for 29 Miners

All 29 miners trapped underground in a New Zealand mine for five days are believed to be dead following a second explosion, police said on Wednesday, as the government vowed to investigate the disaster.

 The miners were trapped in the 2.3 km (1.4 mile) main tunnel of the Pike River Coal mine last Friday night when methane gas caused a massive explosion in the mountain on New Zealand's south island. Two other miners narrowly escaped by running out of the mine.

More than 45,000 people from around the world have lit candles this evening commemorating the tragedy at the Pike River mine.

Deadly toxic gas and fears of further explosions stopped rescuers entering the mine, despite desperate please by the miners' relatives that rescue teams enter the mine to find their husbands and sons, aged between 17 and 62.

Rescuers used robots and electronic devices to explore for life in the mine, but there were no signs that any one had survived the initial blast.


On Wednesday morning rescuers said there was little chance any of the miners were still alive, but continued to monitor toxic gas levels hoping the air would clear enough for rescue teams to enter the mine.

A few hours later, as a 16-man rescue team prepared to possibly enter the mine, a second massive explosion occurred.

It is so sad that all the miners are dead and that all the families have lost their friends and family
