WOOT!

Afternoon!

Well, yesterday was Deepavali! Boy, I had fun! Three of my friends, Lakshmi, Eddie and Raaghav, came over for lunch and stayed till evening, then after they'd left, me and my family went to my uncle's house and had fun! There were a lot of young kids there and unfortunately I and another girl called Sonia (same age as me), were the oldest and had to look after all of them, and there were a lot, all really small! We played with sparklers, Bomb Bags, Pop Pop, Party Poppers, and Crazy Ribbons. The Bomb Bags were really loud and exploded with a deafening sound! (hence the name) And the Party Poppers always spew out strings and strings of coloured paper when they explode, and the Pop Pop leaves a kind of grey refuse on the ground when they explode. All the sparklers were left on the ground as burnt-out sticks when done, and there were sticky strings of Crazy Ribbons all over the place. I think the Bomb Bags were the worst. We used a lot, and the little plastic packets were all over the corridor (it was a HDB flat) and the little chemicals inside that make the explosion made the floor wet and yucky, and wax from the little lamps had spilt, and the boxes and packets that had originally contained all these were on the ground... I pity my grandmother! She must have had a hellish time cleaning up the mess after everyone had gone! The food was delicious too, especially all the snacks! My aunt and uncle gave me 50 dollars for Deepavali, and my other uncle (it was his house) gave me $50 as well. And he have me a Harry Potter Special Edition! It has all three movies, plus lots of bonus features, so altogether it's six discs! :P Life is good!

Yours,

Siva, the fifth Marauder.

 

P.S. How come I never get any replies? :-(
