Things I did this Winter:
1. I went on a plane by myself for the first time! I went to the Gold Coast to visit my cousins and we went to some of the theme parks, watched Harry Potter movies, made paper mache (for absolutely no reason), made miniature clay charms and even got to swim at the Beach (and it wasn't freezing)!2. I participated in Tournament of Minds an Australian competition done in Teams and my team made it to the regional final for language literature which is in two weeks!
3. I completed the KUMON English programme. Not exactly the most exciting thing, but I started in December last year and managed to finish by the end of August which makes me feel like I achieved
something.
4. I made lots of cakes. I even decorated some as dogs and sold them for RSPCA cake day
5. I wore my two onesies a lot. One of them is Hello Kitty and the other one is a minion one.
The questions I was set:
1.What is your greatest achievement over the winter ?
Probably completing the KUMON English programme.
2) Sneakers or Flats?
3) Do you tan or burn?
Burn... unfortunately I have extremely pale skin so have never tanned :(

4) Cycling or strolling?
It depends... I like to walk around my local lake juggling sometimes when I just want to relax but I also sometimes enjoy cycling when I feel like spending some energy.

5) What is something you've learnt over the winter?
To Never ask your parents for help on studying/ an assignment on a topic they know a lot about, I learnt this mainly through my friend who learnt the hard way when asking her dad about how the immune system worked. He told her that it would take 5 years to explain (and he was not kidding).

7)Most embarrassing thing that happened to you over winter ?
8) What do you look forward to doing the next winter ?
Next Winter is so far away instead I am focusing on Spring which includes Floriade which is Australia's flower festival which has lots of stalls and activities.
9)How much have you read over the Summer?
Not that much except To Kill A Mockingbird for school.
10) What is the favourite picture you took this summer/ fall/ winter/ autumn ?
I took this picture here on a beach on the Gold Coast and had to write "Do you wanna build a snowman several times before actually getting a nice picture. I haven't taken that many interesting pictures lately and I suppose I love the good memories it brings me and the irony ( who doesn't make snowmen on the beach?)
Sorry for the bad image quality.
