te matatini

te matatini, one of the greatest kapahaka festivals in Newzealand and i'll be there along with my class though. sadly news reporters stated that it would rain on this event, i was quite annoyed when we arrived there because it did rain and knowing me i ignored all warnings and bran nothing but a t-shirt and shorts. i was lucky enough to get a plastic jersey from Elijah's mum and as soon as i did the rain stopped (sigh) tough love, tough love. when it was parsley good weather i started to watch the performances and boy where they good! everyone had a favorite, it was quite obvious when people started chanting there name. my personal favorite was te iti kahurangi, they had perfect timing for everything besides when they messed up (witch they barely did). after my class left i stayed with my mum along with my brother, she said  "you'll be meeting your cousins here, i haven't seen them in a few years so this should be great!" i was expecting family i had already meet witch it kind of was but i just said "who are they? have me and tuhi meet them before?" i asked "well when you where very young a doubt you'd remember them " later on i went to the bunji jumps, it was quite fun besides waiting in line for a good 15 minutes. when i hoped off i saw my mum with a massive group, when she said her cousins i was expecting just adults but there was quite a group of children my age. anyway after about 2 days we hanged out a lot and on Sunday i better give te matatini the attention of this story, at finals atleast 15,000 people came witch is quite big for New zealand. after the winner of te matatini was announced,  about 8 waita's where sang by the croud incluiding me, making it the greatest day for me
