Malaysia!

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

I went to my friend's place the other day. It was awesome fun! We were jamming music - me on the piano. And sang to awesome songs: Disney. :D

I tried playing the Ukulele, and I'm a master of FOUR chords. I'm quite proud.

 

We also made some pinwheel cookies. But this one, on the other hand, looks like a certain animal. Can you see it? Isn't it awesome?

 

Also, we ate a beautiful Laurent cake. It was divine.

There you have it. Have an awesome day! :)

Schoolies in Rye

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

 - What a Wonderful World

Why hello!
So this year, to celebrate the end of Year 12, my friends and I decided to go to Rye to chillax. We went to so many places within four days, and it was "awesome-ly" fun!

Well, because I LOVE cooking, I cooked every night for them. But meh, it's all good! I love it!
We went to Sorrento. Walked around. Took a few pictures. Ate the BEST VANILLA SLICE EVER! (I will attempt making it... soon.)

This is along the beach in Sorrento.

The AH-MUH-AZING Vanilla Slice

Oh, and the pasta we made for dinner.

We, then, went to Ashcombe Maze and Lavender Gardens in Mornington Peninsula. Everything was sooo pretty! The maze was pretty awesome - the number of dead-ends that I walked into. Sigh.

Oh! The Lavender Garden was soo b-e-a-u-tiful! It smelt fantastic... Except for the bees, that is.
