On Saturday Mama and I went to a Nuiean Hair Cutting Ceremony. Once we arrived at Glenbrae School we got out of the car and saw Taki, Siosaia and Vili. Next we all went and sat down inside the hall. I was playing on Siosaias Netbook with him and Taki. We played G-Switch, Star Wars the Old Republic and Good Game Empire. Then we went to a table that was reserved for people who had been invited from Glenbrae School. After that we kept playing on the Netbook. When the Ceremony started a man and the Master of Ceremony spoke. Once the Master of Ceremony had finished the formal introduction we were invited to have some scrumptious food. I had a Bread Roll, some Salad, Chop Suey and Pork. Once that was done the Master of Ceremony spoke some more before we were invited to have some Ice-Cream, Chocolate Cake, Jelly and Fruit Salad. I had Ice-Cream and Chocolate Cake.
Next Taki, Saia (Siosaia) and I went out to the park to play, we played tiggy and soccer. Then sadly Taki, Saia and Vili had to go.When I got back to the Ceremony, I got some lollies form the lollie scramble. Next I went to sit with Mama, for some performances that were Nuiean Dances. Finally we left to go home, I felt happy that I was invited to the Hair Cutting Ceremony.

Hi Karl,
we were very privileged to be invited to attend the hair cutting ceremony, as it is such an important part of the Niuean culture, along with ear piercing for the girls. You have included a lot of descriptions in this recount, well done.
Mama
