Having fun with my friends was inevitable
as, for some, it was a first, and for some, it just another great experience of
skating on the cold, hard ice. One of my friends, Zindzi is a figure-skater and
has practiced speed and figure skating for three years, but in a race, I nearly
beat her!!
Our first guest to arrive was
Inge. While we were putting on our ice skates, Kabelo
arrived. Slowly but steadily, all my ten friends arrived. We skated around the
jam packed ice rink. When any of us got a bit tired or tempted by the goodies
on the blue and white themed table, we crashed on to it, to grab a bite. When our savoury waffles from Milky Lane arrived,
me and Zi-Yi both tried a salsa and jalapeño waffle. On the first bite, I was
unlucky to bite into a jalapeño while Zi-Yi bit into a place without a jalapeño
slice. After having said that it wasn’t that spicy, she took another bite, and
this time, she ate a jalapeño slice! We both reached for our drinks and glugged
them down.
Me, Zi-Yi and Zindzi got told off twice
for making a chain of three people, but Zi-Yi needed a bit of help, so since me
and Zindzi were around, we held hands with her and took her around the rink.
When we cut the cake, our candles’ flames
matched the colour of the candle! I was the first person to have those candles
on my cake, so all of my friends thought it was wonderful. The cake was a fluffy
fresh cream cake with vanilla sponge and a hidden strawberry jam centre. So hidden,
in fact, we only found out when we all had a second slice at home.
Sometimes, in the ice rink, they turn
most of the lights off and put on coloured spotlights. That happened twice
during my party!
I fell twice on my right knee and once on
my left knee, but I only have a bruise on my left knee!
I had a wonderful time and my friends
were VERY thoughtful with their presents and I am thankful to them for coming
and helping make my birthday a BLAST !
