DID YOU KNOW?? The Carlo West Fete was on Saturday. I did. =]
Well. On Saturday it was the Carlo West Fete. IT WAS GREAT FUN! *sarcastic look* It was alright because Tonia was there too. Ok so what did we do....hmmm...
We walked around! - anything interesting??- uhh...well we got FREE FOOD! *sees tom glance up quickly* (that got her attention) I quote, "Awww I should have gone for the food...". xD We got free spring rolls (that my dad donated anyway) and free hand-made, not-as-greasy-as-KFC "popcorn chicken" which was very yummy by the way =] and some noodles. And we bought some kebabs from the Indonesian food stall so that made our total cost of dinner= $3!!!!!! Yes you heard right! And that was for BOTH OF US!! What a bargain eh? Well yes you should have come.
I also won a football from the clowns thingo where you put the balls in. And, being the awesome and SMART students we are, we decided to watch some other people play first and used the "laws of physics" to determine the amount of time taken for the ball to travel from the opening of the clowns mouth down to come out of the chute and into the separated numbered sections. =D Well we concluded that it would take roughly 3 seconds. So before the lady told us to get lost we handed over the money and started playing.
Well going with our conclusions we put the first ball in aiming for the 5. FAILED! So we tried to use our experiment to try and get all the balls into that one (six) FAILED AGAIN. So instead. We gave up on physics and came to another conclusion .
NOTE TO SELF: clown machine games are rigged.
But then after 4 balls (we had five total) we had 5, 5, 6, 6. So after giving up on the giant soft toys we set our eyes onto a small blue animal soft toy won if 26 is achieved. Tonia does the maths. And decides we need a 3 to win. So me, the pro arcade gamer, achieves this task and we got the 3. Then the lady comes to us with the option of a squishy footy ball or a plastic pony and we ask if there's anything else and she says no. So we take the ball and walk away thinking that the lady should go check her maths skills. But we recap. 6+6+5+5+3= 25!!!
-uhh we needed a 4...- ==
NOTE TO SELF 2: revise addition skills.
Overall it was GREAT FUN! Ok maybe not "great" but the fireworks were awesome =] and it was a very funNY day. xP
Everyone come in two years time!
