My Holidays

BY:ANTHONY

Yellow Hat The best part of my holiday was: Going to a Tongan birthday.  It was a girls birthday party, me and my mum went to my church to pray in tongan and sing for the birthday girl.  Later after that, we went to Panmure community hall.  We had a huge party!  We started the party off with how to make a mud drink, some people were gathering around a young boy, he was about 17 or 16.  He had to get a huge stick and bang a rock on the stick.  But I was sitting so far I couldn’t even see what he was doing that much.  I just saw some women and men drink it.  Then came the birthday girl with some Tongan mats on her, but around her waist.  She went to the top of the stage, there was a long special table.  My mum was up on the table with her.  After, everybody went crazy!  We ate lots of food, it was sort of good.  Then we waited for the birthday girl to say a speech in Tongan and english, she was crying a little.  After she said the speech, some young girls were rubbed with oil on them.  Then they started to dance, everybody came and put some money on her, after that came a small girl with 100 dollars on her hair.  Once the music was she couldn’t do so everybody came and gave her lots of money on her.  Then the birthday girl came and danced, when she finished she thanked everybody for coming.  Everybody enjoyed the party.	*
