My [boring] Holidays

My school holidays were one of the most boring ones I've ever had! The first week I did absoloutely nothing, and I mean absoloutely nothing! I just sat at home, watched TV, went to the local park a few times and went on the computer for MSN and downloading music.

I was bored out of mu skull! And to make things worse, at night time from 7pm to about 10pm my brother, my dad and my mum would be watching the Asian Cup (soccer). The word BORING comes to mind! On the second week, on Thursday, it was my friend's birthday party and we saw Harry Potter 5 the movie. I didn't really like it, but I wasn't going to say that in front of her. I may have had a bad holiday but I haven't forgotten my manners. That day something good happened though. Because it was raining and we were at an open space in the shopping centre, we walked into a Timezone and I played a skilltester. The prize was either a light blue, dark blue or pink whale toy which was actually quite big. I won on my fourth shot, but it didn't seem 100% worth it at the time because I spent $8 on a toy, yet one of my friends won a flip mobile phone, yes MOBILE PHONE for $3 there about a week before.

When we were walking out, 3 of my friends and I realised that the other 5 had walked out on us a good 10 minutes ago! So we looked around for them and when we met up, then walked off again, and again, and again. So eventurely the person who was hosting the party said "Do you want to split up into groups?". That really offended me and my friends, because if she wanted to split up she didn't want us around, and if she didn't want us around, why did she invite us to her birthday party? in the end we stuck together because we didn't want to leave them so we just tagged along with them, Then 3 of us went to the car park to check out the weather, which was very, very rainy now. We came back up and they were gone AGAIN! We didn't bother looking for them this time, we just went back to the Timezone to have another play.


When we arrived there, 2 people from the radio station Nova 93.7 were there. We walked over to have a closer look at the equipment they had, and they asked if we wanted to go on the radio! Of course we said yes, so they told us what they were going to do. The plan was we were going to pretend to run in the rain and grab Prince's new CD because that's what they were advertising. We actually did run out into the rain, just for the fun of it and came back. One of the radio guys was holding my whale toy and it was so hilarious because he kept on playing with its fin. After that, they told us that we actually did win the CDs, and they'd be mailed to us. That was really great because we id basically nothing for them. Being on the radio for 5 seconds, just screaming our heads off kind of did turn around my day.

On Sunday, me and my dad went to a museum displaying acient Ejyptian artefacts. We took public transportation there because our car was in for service. First we took the bus, and as silly as it seems, I'm terrified of riding buses! I'm scared that I might fly out of my seat through the window, or when we turn the bus is going to up end itself, and stuff like that. Thankfully it was only from the bottom of my street to the train station. We got on the train after a horrible bus ride, and the train was alot smoother. To pass the time i was playing a game on my dad's mobile. The classical brick game turned out to be pretty fun. When we got there the museum was across the road from the station, so that was convenient. It was a huge building, made out of glass and steel. It was shaped like a roundish rectangle with a point on the top left corner. when we went in the first thing I saw, besides the souvenir shop, was the line! It took us half an hour to get through the line, and that was murder on my legs. When that ordeal was over, we finally got inside. When we were there we saw painting, coffins, statues, figurines, and more stuff along those lines. It was very interesting there, and even better when there was a chair.
After that we went on the second floor and there was just paintings, nothing from acient Ejypt. One of the was pure black with a pinstripe white border! It was pretty pointless and to think that one particular painting could make it to a museum, it made me feel as if I could be a painter!
