Fin

Hi everybody. It's been a while. In that while I've been gone, we have graduated. High school.

All those movies and books where high school kids graduate; it seemed so far away. Even now writing this, it still hasn't hit me.

I am sad, I am happy, and most, most of all: I am truly THANKFUL.

Baulko has been the CENTRE of my universe: I really feel like I've tried to make my most of my school time and I can truly-really, truly- say I have ABSOLUTELY 0 REGRETS. For all the friends I made this week, or even the friends since good old year 7: you're all my friends anyway. So for those of you who made new friends this week, don't regret never talking to them before. Be glad that we were able to meet them, the length of a friendship doesn't matter, it's the sincerity ^^

Graduation Day was honestly the most amazing day of my life, the most amazing adventure.

Here's the story of yesterday:
Well firstly after graduation we stayed around for a while to take photos etc and we were about to leave around 12 something but then Mr Serrato came down the stairs and started talking to me about graduation etc and Milly, Rach, Bea, Alysha, Maheesha, Roger, Dayanan and Kaveh waited for me so we missed the first bus out to the city.

We took the next one but then at the city we missed our stop haha and we ended up somewhere around central. Alysha wasn't going to the beach and wanted to eat lunch, so we decided we would eat with her before she left. And then after she left, we walked all the way up to Hyde Park from central to catch the bus to Bondi. Along the way, our bus crashed into a van and we all had to get out.

But we FINALLY made it (and watched 3 buses that went to Bondi drive past us lol) and everybody else was all packed up and ready to go LOL.

By that time it was about 6:45 and we were thinking maybe we'll make it to Nick's at 9:30 if we're lucky...haha. 
The bus to city from Bondi was full, so we caught the one to Bondi Junction, where we caught a train to Town Hall, where we caught a bus back to towers.

By that time it was about 6:45 and we were thinking maybe we'll make it to Nick's at 9:30 if we're lucky...haha. 
The bus to city from Bondi was full, so we caught the one to Bondi Junction, where we caught a train to Town Hall, where we caught a bus back to towers.

We FINALLY got to Nick's and checked the time, which was only 9:04 so we were celebrating hahaha and everybody at the party kept asking us why we were so late lol

And then we decided not to wait for the next bus and walk to Bondi, which we thought was close (mistakenly) and turns out it was about 40minutes walk away hahaha. 

And then we decided since we were already out of the house, we should go to Nicky's graduation party. Rach and I went to change out of our swimmers and we were talking, and didn't realise we were gone so long (about an hour, even though we thought it was about 20 minutes) and when we came outside the sky was really dark and Beatrice started to cry (even though she hadn't cried all day at grad) because she was so worried and thought we had gotten kidnapped.
On the bus a man recognised our school crest and turns out he was a Baulko graduate of class 1998!! Haha it's fate, because yesterday on our graduation day we met a former graduate randomly. And he told us all these life lessons about perspective and the future etc

We finally made it to towers, and then realised that the next bus to Glenhaven was about 50 minutes away so Kenneth called some P-platers to pick us up lol but there were too many of us so we had to squeeze 6 of us into one car.
ALSO Virginia nearly crashed into a bus on the way to Nick's, bringing the day to a bit of a cycle haha

SO that was our CRAZY adventure on Graduation Day, I hope everybody else had a blast celebrating the culmination of 6 years of tears, laughter and craziness.

I will honestly, honestly never ever ever ever forget the amazing high school life, I am a blessed girl. 

I think in the future reading this post will made me so happy.

And RH, my twin, if you're reading this: DROOL.

LOVE: MICHELLE

Calm before the storm

Hey guys!
It's 4 days till trials and counting. Omgsh.

I've been in such a procrastinating mood lately. it's so bad, I know. Yesterday I didn't study at all, instead I walked outside to the glade with my sis and took photos for her blog (I probably snapped over 70) and then after dinner I finished reading 'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold in one sitting. And it's a pretty thick book.
I think in order to study effectively I need people beside me. Libraries are perfect spots.

I am so glad UMAT is over so I can concentrate more on school stuff. Not that I studied much for UMAT, it was more like a looming prescence behind me.

I ws so tired of thinking by the end of the three hours that I kept looking at the clock and waiting till I could leave and eat some food lol. Makes me worried about the three hour exams for trials, hope I will survive those. I think since I will be writing more and moving about the time will fly faster, so it'll be okay.

These are some things I've baked in the past 2 weeks:
Blueberry muffins with icing sugar and fresh bluberries on top :) Made them for Breakfast with Benefits. On the mention of Breakfast with Benefits I'm SO proud of our prefects hehe we raised $1400 :) :) Also not top self: HASH BROWNS SELL LIKE CRAZY. In the morning me, EL and VB made 4 kg of them (well not exactly made them, but we did oven bake and fry frozen ones) and all 4 kg were sold in minutes.

Hehe and my muffins sold really quickly too!! Thank you to everyone who bought one :)


My sis and I made these cakes for KF's 17th, but unfortunately I was really sick the next day and couldn't bring them to him at school. Chocolate cupcakes with dark chocolate ganache and a variety of toppings including crushed crunchie, picnic, wafers and roasted hazelnuts :)

Anyway that's all for now, I probably won't be blogging till after dem exams :O GOOD LUCK everyone! See you on the other side haha. Reminds me of the Iron Curtain, which reminds me of Modern History.

Love: Michelle

Holiday Adventures

Hello everyone! I hope you've been enjoying your holidays despite the looming TRIALS! Me and CZ were talking about trials today. Apparently some schools like Sydney Boys has already finished them last term :O I couldn't imagine doing them that early.

Anyway here are some stuff I've got up to since my last blog post:

On Friday I went to GW and SS's 17th birthday party. Here is a badly taken pic of the dress I wore:

My mum bought it for me to wear to the party and when I saw it I was thinking odd...this dress look's familiar. It's actually RH's semi-formal dress but hers was purple, my mum bought it in coral. MQ said it reminds her of a towel. Lol. At the party VB was wearing my red semi-formal dress. Haha.


Le photo my sis took of me before I left haha. I'm wearing my Vinnies necklace I blogged about a while ago ! :)


Lol I took this one of my and my sis and she's mucking around

To wrap their presents I used my polka dot paper bags and somebody saw them and said oh hey it's your signature wrapping style and I realised it is now haha. I used the same type for Jashan's bday too :)

I made a cake on Saturday after going out to eat dinner with my family at Temasek :)


I made some sort of collage haha. First make a basic vanilla cake, all the ingredients should be lying around it's just sugar, eggs, flour etc. My sis cut the cake into three bits then let it cool. We whipped up some cream and spread it, with some blackberries, raspberries & blueberries between the layers. My sis piped the chocolate letters haha. Basically you melt chocolate, put it into a plastic bag, snip off the corner and pipe it onto a piece of non-stick baking paper. Let it harden and it will be ready to use. Don't pipe too thinly and the chocolate will break into pieces when you try to pick it up.

The berries were had juice dripping and the cake didn't look that enat so I walked to the store and bought some wafers. Using scissors cut the wafers to how you like and put it all around the cake using cream as a 'glue'. I made it so the wafers at the back of the cake were higher than the ones in front.


When I was done with the wafer decoration I put it in the fridge to kind of 'set' so it no wafers would randomly fall down. Then I chose a gold ribbon from my ribbon bag and tied it around the cake and tied a bow. Done! Haha. Happy birthday GZ! I hope you got a surprise when I turned up at your house like a stalker...

Random note about wafers: You know I never understood the joke 'Why was the cookie sad? Because his mum was a wafer so long' the ENTIRE time I was growing up. I only understood it when I was buying wafers for the cake and I had an epiphany! His mum was a-WAY FOR so long. HAHA

Because I like collages and I'm proud of the final product I made a collage of what the cake turned out like

I went to the library on Monday. There were about 3 tables of people just from our school haha. It was fun :) Tendercrysbeachicken calls this studying-with-friends 'librarying'.

On Tuesday I went to Catswood LOL I mean CHATSWOOD for the first ever time in my life with CL and KT :) It's soo nice. We went to eat ramen for lunch at a place called Makanai and there was this option called VOLCANO RAMEN with a picture of 2 chillies next to it HAHA so I decided to get it and I choked on the first mouthful lol. Then KT tried some and he was choking too hahaha.

It actually wasn't THAT spicy, just the first bite of chilli makes you choke a lot haha. They had an option called SUPER VOLCANO but I didn't get it lol.

Next time I definitely want to try the Wagyu Beef Curry Udon. Yum haha :)

After that we went to get 'Froyo' (frozen yogurt) as CL calls it. It was my first time ever trying frozen yogurt. It was a self-serve place and it was really fun, there were so many flavours like Blueberry, passionfruit, strawberry, even taro (it was really nice), peach etc and our self-serve tub was so colourful after hehe. And you got to pick your own toppings! We got peach, blueberries, some syrup and something chewy called mochi. A whole tub that we shared was only $10 so it was pretty cheap too! And super yummy :)

I actually didn't like that many toppings. My favourite flavour was passionfruit :) Once KT gets to sending me the pic we took of our froyo I will show you guys hehe

Also me & CL took our dogs to the dog park!

Biscuit loves walks

It was our first time going to the dog park. She was so excited she ran around in circles for ages. We were about to leave the dog park (no other people had come round with their dogs except an old man with his labrador that he didn't let off the leash because it was too boisterous) and then this girl with a black dog walked past us in the direction of the dog park and we were like...should we follow her back to the park lol. So we did and all the dogs got to play haha. Her dog's name was Ziggy and it drooled on Biscuit lol.

She was SO tired out when we got home after that she slept for probably >3hours after

Anyay that's about it! Hope you guys are enjoying your holidays!

Love: Michelle

Collage Mania

Hey guys! How have your holidays been? So rainy outside :(

I downloaded this new app on my ipad which lets you create collages and I've been going a little bit crazy over making a million collages...

Here are a few hehe:

There's actually a story behind the odd leopard background...Biscuit has a cushion on her pet bed that has leopard print haha. It's really fluffy


hehe


This is a full collage of talented Biscuit's circus tricks


Some mini carrot cupcakes GC made me :) So sweet


My sis piping a green tree

Haha my crazy collage mania..I made A LOT MORE above just a few :)

Yesterday night I had hotpot at GZ's house for his 18th bday.

Birthday cake! :) His house is so nice hehe

Today I had lunch with SS and CL at GPK and afterwards 'studied' with RH at the library..we were mostly talking haha. 

I guess those are my adventures thus far! 

Enjoy your holidays despite the weather!

Love: Michelle

Last School Camp Ever

Hey guys! I've been sleeping SO much this weekend...trying to catch up on lost sleep after camp zzz

I took 7 polaroids at camp hehe :) Camp was awesome! Here are a few polaroids I took:

This is our team for Treasure Hunt. We found a grand total of......3 pegs! I for each of us. The winning team found 147. Woo. Haha our game was bias, the pegs that were 'scattered everywhere' were in actual fact all in the same place-on the massive oval. And the team that got there first got all the pegs. Haha. Still lots of fun though :)


This one's pretty dark but we're carrying our guns from laser tag. My first ever game! It was AWESOME, so much fun haha. The set up was an outdoor laser tag like this-


There were these black blocks with holes/rectangles cut out of them. During the first round it was so hectic I couldn't stop laughing and thinking laser tag was ridiculous but it was so fun haha and I managed to deactivate SA!!! Yup I shot him 5 times and deactivated him. Our laser guns talked back to us which was awesome. The funnest round was the respawning round, where in the first 4 minutes you could die and get respawned as many times as you wanted to and in the last minute you couldn't. Haha so in the first 4 minutes we all went crazy running into the enemy's camp and going behind them...


Woo gradelove polaroid! It makes me sad to think that when we graduate, gradelove will be gone too. It was a good run, and as JL says we'll make sure to keep cdelebrating gradelove's anniversary even after high school :') Letters was a bit stressful this time but still fun, I'm glad people enjoyed it.


The disco was CRAZY. Haha we were late because our room got locked (even though it isn't supposed to) and Mr S had to come and open it for us, and then KF wanted a style session where we straightened his hair so we only got to the disco at around 7:20? It was all dark inside with so many lights and the music was SO LOUD. My ears were ringing afterwards. It was lots of fun though haha :)

I only got about 3 hours sleep at camp because we got some 2:30am visitors HAHA and we played snap. GZ is so bad at snap...lol. Probably the most rebellious thing I've ever done..yes I have a tame, boring life HAHA. And it wasn't even us being the rebels, they were the sneaky ones HAHA.

SO that's our last camp-lots of fun, good memories. It's strange that it was over so quickly, the thought of camp helped me get through assessments last term. I guess the upcoming 'happy' thought to get me through all the rest of the hsc will be various 18th bdays and year 12 formal :)

Love: Michelle

P.S. When I got home from camp I saw this had arrived in our letterbox:

Does anyone know what it is lol. It's a FURMINATOR! It's a fine comb that takes out the fur that sheds off in dogs, and since Biscuit is a notorious shedder it's been soo helpful. I've used it to groom her for the past 3 days and it's worked SO well!


Hehe furminator. Biscuit loves it too.

Also today I was in the mood for potatoes so I cooked these for lunch- Latkes!

They are little potato pancakes/fritters that people eat around Hanukkah, I remember I once read a story about Hanukkah in the School Magazine (the one with Ernest the Carrot haha) and they ate latkes in that story. They're very yummy :)

Assessments, Tricks and Adventures

Hey guys! I still have 2 exams (legal studies and english extension) but I decided I really want to blog haha cos it's been quite a whilee :)

Here's a cute picture of Biscuit to make up for it

On the mention of Biscuit, whilst procrastinating studying for the 3unit maths test my sis and I decided to take some cool photos of Biscuit doing tricks hehe

Putting her paw up to shake hands


Jumping through a hoop. Lol just a blur

Front view of jumping through a hoop

So yeah the odd stuff I do when I procrastinate...

Although Exam Weeks are stressful, it actually leads to exciting (well I think they're exciting lol) adventures because without the constraints of a school day, it allows for experimental visits to places. (All in the name of procrastinating studying for your next exam of course haha)

The other day AM and I (after 2unit maths I think) saw these chalk signs on the ground that said something about art and to follow the signs so we did and it led us to a very, very creative looking store that sold old books, vintage clothing and a lot of shirt pins.


Today after modern and maths we went to Vinnies and I bought this necklace, she bought a cool tweed skirt that she's going to wear for her drama performance! Exciting :) And really cool earrings and a locket :)

That's all for now, except I'm seriously excited for camp!! It's only in 2 days! Woo except I seriously haven't even thought about packing or anything cos if EXAMS haha so I shall get start that process later :) I am so excited, I'm going to bring my Polaroid ! :) And LTEC at camp, hehe shoutout to AM :)

Assesments + Trivia

Wow. I have been away from the blogosphere for ages. I will make a silent pledge to try and write more often for my own sake haha since I want to be able to look back on this blog :)
I guess this term has been the crazy assessments term!

This is the cake my sister baked for me as a goodluck cake. Tasted like Ferrero Rocher!!

Just got back from Trivia Night 2012, the first and only Trivia Night I've ever competed in (all the other years I had to help run etc so it was super exciting stuff this year!!)

My team went as hippies and it was so fun dressing up! Thank you to BT who basically lent out all her hippyish clothing to all of us hahaha. Everyone dressed up so nicely! I really liked the Cold War Russian team whose name was Full Marx which I thought was so clever haha. Overall we came 6th out of maybe 18 or more teams? Not bad LOL the sport section...but we totally made up for it with the PICTIONARY OMGSH the most crazy game of pictionary ever played, we got 43-FORTY THREE- points from Pictionary alone HAHA. My voice was hoarse after that intense game and shouting out words.

Pics to come, too lazy and sleepy at the moment haha but have an awesome LONG WEEKEND everyone!!

Love: Michelle

Long Overdue Post!

Hey guys! It's been a while since my last post ^^

Lots of things have happened...hmm
Well firstly last Saturday I went to an engagement party! Quiz time: Do you guys recognise the location this party was at?

Lol such bad lighting..I'm here with my sis and my cousin's girlfriend

Seems like just a staircase...or is it?

Lol I'm the shadowy figure in the background..such a lurker.

Haha me again...

Well if you haven't guessed it, we were at the Beauty and the Geek Mansion! LOL you may have gotten it right if you were a fan of the show :)

Yeah this place :) SOO beautiful in person...they had a massive indoor heated swimming pool, outdoor hot tub etc etc

Just me and my car...

Haha kidding :P I'm a total noob when it comes to cars but even I could tell it was a fancy one lol. And turns out this car (it belongs to the owner of the house)-a jaguar I've heard- is their worst, cheapest one LOL that they don't care about haha.

Also turns out the owner of the house built his way up from practically nothing-he dropped out of high school in Year 10, went into railroad work for a built then went into shares. So impressive :O Reminds me of that story about Miss K's sister's friend who dropped out of high school in Year 10, worked at McDonalds and is not a rich manager of some McDonalds somewhere after the Maccas company paid her to go to uni and study business. So it's true as they say, high school really is not the be-all and end-all.

Also I found this cool website to edit pictures (I find it a relaxing hobby haha and after Picnik shut down I was sad cos I couldn't edit picture of Biscuit anymore :( even though she doesn't need editing cos she's so cute but yeah) Haha here is a before and after on a pic I took last Saturday...Lol yeah you can call me a luvo-taker just this once :P

--------->
Le Biscotti

Moving on to Sunday, which was Mother's Day!!

Part of the breakfast I made for my mummy <3 Haha there was also soup and coffee and a pink rose in a vase I had snipped from our bush outside on the table but I only took a photo fo this cos it looked nice by itself :) Some people have asked where the rest of the toast went after I cut out the little heart shape...Lol I ate it...


My sis and I made dinner too :) Marinated steak with potato mash and pumpkin and carrot soup :) We bought green beans too but we forgot to make them lol....My mum ended up making them the night after

Hmm and as for the rest of the week it was just school, the usual :P

Ooh here are some cool pictures from chemistry ! I love experiment time in chem, feels like a witch making potions haha. I'm the self-proclaimed haggard witch whilst EM (who has actually dropped chem recently :( ) is the princess who I will posionnnn :) Haha, I should probably stop thinking about fairy tales...


Okay you guys might think bubbling water is boring...HAHA I have SO many photos/bideos of chem pracs on my phone and when people look at my pics they think they're all really boring but IT'S NOT!

Our ester!! Smells like banana :)

Separating..

Chemistry adventures!

Yesterday we had an excursion. On a Sunday. Haha it was an English Extension excursion to Stanmore, and to be honest it was pretty much a waste of time and money ($42! and my dad had to drive me there too lol)
:( Wish I went to Salvation Army Doorknock Appeal instead. Oh well. Since it was such a disappointment, afterwards RH, BT and I went out to eat at a sushi train place that was soooo nice, I am dreaming of the chilli grilled salmon sushi yummm

That's about all I have to say, better get back to my good pal Hamlet and write that essay! Athletics Carnival tomorrow everyone! :)

Love: Michelle

P.S. Something very exciting happened at lunch today! At short notice (somehow someone forgot to tell us) a reporter came to our school to interview all the captains and take our photo for the Hills News!
Haha wish I knew in advance so I had worn my blazer, which looks better and more polished, than my jersey. They asked us all these questions on the spot, like "What makes your school unique?" and "What would you do/change if you were principal for a day?" and "Why is it important to be a leader?" LOL also since MP didn't want to answer first I was the first to answer so I tried my best to find articulate ways to express myself lol. I'm going to think of it as training for future job interviews/to get into particular courses etc.

James Ruse Cluster!

Thank you to my newly-made friend EL for the term 'cluster' haha. Today afternoon was my very first experience of the Prefect Afternoon Tea!! It was AMAZING haha I made soo many new friends, met so many lovely people...My mouth was SOO dry despite drinking a lot because of all the smiling and talking I did hehe :)

A photo taken by FK, the theme of the cluster was 'The Hunger Games'


When we got there, (me, CZ, AM, JJ and RC)-we had caught the 772 bus and walked-we were the second earliest school. We got a strip of paint (red, yellow, blue or green) on our faces, then an envelope with important papers inside haha then we ate food and mingled until all the schools got there.

We played three games-Blob, Dodgeball and Noodle Fights. After we had a sausage sizzle then put marshmallows in the campfire they had made near their farm :) What a feast!

Then I came home and found lots of notifications on my fb HAHA you know what they say...'it ain't official til it's on facebook'.

Love: Michelle

Starlight!

Today me, my sister and RQ helped out for STARLIGHT DAY woo by selling merchandise at Winston Hills Shopping Centre :) We got through about one little purple box of merchandise :)

                                  Volunteer shirt and boxes of merchandise behind me :)

If any of you readers want to buy any Starlight Merchandise- of which all proceeds go to the Starlight Foundation which helps sick children in hospitals- please leave a comment below of which iten you would like and bring the exact amount of money to school tomorrow for that item and I will give it to you tomorrow :)


Here is a page of all the stuff we are selling-there are 2 types of pens, a stress ball in purple or yellow, keychains in blue, red, yellow, green, orange and purple, a silver badge/pin, a gold pin, a wand that lights up (the purple stick with the star on top) and purple shopping bags(the fabric type).Unfortunately the silly straws (pictured bottom middle) are not for sale (because Starlight didn't send any to us in the mail)

Personal recommendations/experience: boths pens are good quality, one is blue and one is black, in fact I use them in my math exams haha. My mum says the shopping bag is sturdy and the stress balls are helpful. We got a wand last year and it still lights up :) Every item is $5 except for the gold star pin, which is $20.

Haha just then my dad was like "You did a good job today, here's a present" and handed me a cookie. :3

Love: Michelle


P.S. Yesterday me and RH were at Castle Towers Food court and at McDonalds I was buying a small fries and RH wanted water so I asked for a free water and when they gave us our food they gave us a BOTTLE of water. Mount Franklin. Haha I was so excited I came home and told my whole family and they were...suffice to say not as excited as I was. Haha.

Jerseys and Study Groups

I feel like this week ahs gone a lot more slowly than week 1 which is a nice thing :3

Today JP came over to my house for a study sesh! We actually got a lot done and even had time left over (well we made time...) for a chit chat sesh haha :)

Yesterday when I went to Math tutor I realised basically every other school had gotten their jerseys and I started feeling excited about getting mine soon. At first I didn't really care for the idea of jerseys, I liked my blazer better anyway and though it matched our school skirts better but seeing everyone excited over jerseys made me more excited :D

Here's mine :)

It was also lots of fun giving jerseys to our teachers. I hope they wear them :)

Love: Michelle

First week back!

Hi everyone! :) It's been a while since my last blog post. It's cos the lull and relaxation of holidays is OVER :O School is a pretty time-consuming activity.

On Monday we had our study skills day at school. It was actually super helpful, and I feel energised to study more consistently this term (a concept foreign to a study crammer/procrastinator like me).
The funny thing was that after the study skills bbq thing, the prefects had scheduled a meeting for the Anzac Day Ceremony on the Tuesday and we were in our meeting room, discussing, when our Year Advisor Mr S comes in and says "Hey guys..I actually booked another speaker for everyone in the afternoon but I forgot to tell you guys so most of the people outside have gone home..."
So we ended up having a secluded/private session with the speaker (who was teaching us about pencil grips or something).

On Tuesday in the afternoon we had our Anzac Day Ceremony! Ran smoothly, although all of us were pretty stiff after standing at ease/attention on the stage for about half and hour lol. TJ says he nearly fainted which is pretty scary stuff! :(
On Wednesday we had our public holiday cos it was Anzac Day and all the Prefects, which is kind of a traditional thing, went to Arthur Whitling Park in Castle Hill to attend the Dawn Service. Lol AM had slept over at my house on the Tuesday night so my dad could drive us both to the Service and when our alarms rang at 5am, it was still pitch black outside, and AM was like "It's not Dawn Service..it's midnight service." Lol. Regardless we got there on time and wactehd the sun rise as we paid our respects to those brave soldiers :)

JJ's photography. So many people turned up at the park that next year they actually have to move the venue to somewhere bigger

Then we got free breakfast at Castle Hill RSL :) After the breakfast it was still only 8something in the morning but since we had got up so early, it felt odd, like it was already 3 in the afternoon.

Wednesday night was JP'S birthday! I had to get there from maths tutor at Castle Hill and I was trying to research how to walk to the restaurant from Parramatta Station by using googlemaps and HAHA I'm so silly cos I had supposedly reached the restaurant address (as googlemaps had indicated) but the picture was a bunch of work buildings and I was so confused, trying to zoom into the buildings to see if the restaurant to see if it was hiding behind there and going all the way up and down the street again to see if I'd missed it (because by now I was convinced that googlemaps was utterly untrustworthy) when about an hour later I realised it was right across the street from the work buildings. Lol I'm a genius


A polaroid of me and JP at her party

On Thursday my sister made a cake for her friend's birthday! I ehlped a little (by being the professional taste tester)

Drizzling chocolate over the berries on top of the cake :) Inside, the cake is two layers with rasberry cream in the middle


:)




Strawberries!

Long post today! Anyway, better crawl back to bed and recuperate as unfortunately I got sick from the Dawn Service (it was suepr cold in the morning and our school blazers are pretty thin)

Love: Michelle

P.S. We gave Biscuit a new toy this week-FISH :) SO cute! Haha when Biscuit has her fish in her mouth we call her a fisherdog, cos it looks like she was down at the lake and is bringing back her winnings...
