At four pm on Friday, we went to the motel from my house. We needed to tell the builders where the lights needed to be placed. I went into our motel room and quickly got ready because my dance competition was at six pm.
After I got ready, my mum and I went to pick up my dad from the train station. When we reached the train station, I saw my dad coming out from the train and coming towards us. I felt happy because my dad was also coming to the competition.

After that, we went to Auckland Boy's Grammar and that's the place where I was going to have my competition. When we reached Auckland Boy's Grammar, I was amazed because it was so big and all the building were white.
After we went inside the school hall, a man told us that we needed to pay an entrance fee to go in the hall. My dad didn't have any money so he went to look for a dairy to get some cash out. It took him very long to get to the dairy because he walked instead of taking the car because he didn't want anyone to take our parking.
Within three hours hours, my dad came back with some money and I went down to the boy's dressing room, to wait until our dance starts.
While we were waiting, I played truth or dare with my dance group. It was fun because the game on the I pad called out our names and gives us a choice between truth or dare. I kept on getting dares.
Soon after, my dance teacher came and said that we need to get ready to go on the stage. When we went on stage, everyone clapped and called out our group's name which was called Carter chan .
During the dance, I was a bit nervous but I was having fun at the same time. In the last set of the dance, everyone was shouting and screaming so loud that we couldn't hear the music.
After the dance, the judge came and told us the results. She said that we came second and I went on stage to represent my dance group when they made the announcement. After that, we went home and it was nine o'clock. I had a very long sleep.
I enjoyed the competition and I hope that we can do much better in the next competition.

On Sunday, I woke up on a bright sunny morning and went to the closet to pick what I want to wear. I wore an Adventure time jumper, a pair of nice looking jeans and went to the living room.
My mum called me and said, "Today we are going to your cousin's house and then your auntie's house." I replied, "Okay."
After the car was ready, we hopped into our little car and went really far to the West Harbour. It was so far that it felt like we were on a plane going to Australia.
When we reached my cousin's house, I saw some pixar dominoes and there were a lot of them. There was also a domino marble maze, a domino bridge and a domino stair case.
We played with the dominoes for a long time because we made some mazes. Then my dad called for us to go to our car so we can go to our auntie's house. When we arrived, I saw my baby cousin dancing by the television. He danced a lot and laughed a lot as well.
After two hours I played some games on my computer including ROBLOX. In ROBLOX, I played freeze tag. This is a game where are a huge minion and if you touch other people, they freeze and turn into ice.
Within 20 minutes, we went home so I could get some sleep and have some antibiotics.
I enjoyed seeing my baby cousin and watching him dance. I hope when he grows up, he would still dance for us.

On Saturday my grandma, grandma, dad, sister and I woke up very early because we were shifting into a new motel that day. We didn't shift into our new house because it was taken, so we will look for another one.
After we had breakfast, we were going to hop into my grandpa's van but there were a lot of things in out van so we went in our little car instead.
The motel room was clean and a lot bigger than our previous motel room. There was more space in that motel room which was good because we can use the bigger space to practise our dances.
After three hours, someone invited us to go to there house because there is a birthday for baby Ryan.
We got ready for the birthday party, and then we went to their house. I wore my favourite white genius shirt with a cool looking blue jacket.
My family and I had a lot of fun at the party because they had my favourite barbecue chicken, spring rolls and they gave us present as well.
I received a police set with hand cuffs and two guns. The party finished within two and we went home to have some rest.
I loved the motel that we have shifted into because it is spacious. I hope October comes soon so that our house can be rebuilt.
