25/10/09 Dear Wesley, On Friday night I went to our family friends wedding. I had a lot of fun. I made some new friends their names were Yasmin & Saddika, they were both sisters. We played games with balloons. For dinner we ate Biriyani(an Indian curry) with salad. After wards we had desert, we had homemade cake(coconut or chocolate) & Lebanese sweets. Me and my new friends had a balloon fight-it was so much fun!

After I woke up on Saturday I had a shower. Lots of people were walking past the motel we live in, because the 'Ilma Lever Gardens' that were next to our place, had a plant sale. We went to 'Northlands' after we got ready. We just looked around and didn't really buy anything apart from a new top from 'Urban Angel' for me. After that we went 'Kmart' in 'Campbellfield'. We came home after a while. I had dinner, changed and by the time I did that, one of my favorite movies started. It's called 'Ella Enchanted'. After that we watched the second half of a movie scary movie called 'What Lies Beneath'.

On Sunday I woke up very late, it was 12:30pm! It took me about half an hour to get out of bed, because I went to bed late the night before. Instead of having breakfast I had brunch (breakfast & lunch together). I just had a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea. By the time I had brunch and brushed my teeth and changed my clothes it was 2:20pm. We just watched a bit of T.V. Then I made some okra with tomatoes, onion, chilly powder and salt. We made some roti's(Indian bread) and had that for dinner.

18/10/09 Dear Wesley, On the weekend I woke up at 10:30am. I got up, had a shower and got dressed. Once everybody was ready we went shopping. We went to 'IGA'. We bought lots of things. We saw a mixture for mini muffins on special, so we bought it. Then we went to 'Omara' supermarket We just bought some fruits and vegetables from there. Then we went home my mum cooked dinner. After dinner my sister and I made the mini muffins they had frosting with white chocolate flakes- it was very yummy. we had lots of frosting left, so my mum put some lemon juice in it, then she spread it on a biscuit then she got another biscuit then put it on top- it tasted exactly like the packets of them in the shops.

On Sunday we woke up at 9am. Once I brushed my teeth I went to have breakfast. But there was no milk! So my mum told me to go buy some. When I got home it ended up being the wrong milk anyway. We started cooking some food for our family friends. My mum told me, that I have break off the heads from prawns! When we finished cooking and got dressed we went to our family friends place and gave them the food then we went to some Indian shops in Glenroy. We bought a couple of movies then we went to a fruit shop and bought fruits. My mum saved some food that she cooked for our dinner. We ate lamb shanks, spicy prawns, roti (an Indian bread), vegetable rice, sun dried tomatoes, ricotta cheese & olives. After dinner we watched some songs from one of the Indian movies called 'Disco Dancer'.
