You can have that sweet doughnut!

The Sweetest Doughnut!

On Sunday 19th of June, I had the sweetest doughnut I’ve ever tasted from Dunkin doughnuts!

First, my mum went to The Warehouse to swap Cesar’s clothing because it was too small. I had to wait in the car for two minutes since Cesar wasn’t allowed inside the store. He was brave and he didn’t whine even though I knew that he was feeling cold since we had just cut his hair. My mum was only gone for two minutes but it seemed like a very long time. So I just kept my imagination busy by thinking about those dogs who were attacked by epic buns and turned them into running hot dogs of tastiness.

When my mum came out from the Warehouse, we proceeded to Bunning’s Warehouse to buy nuts and bolts because she plans to hang some things onto the wall. This trip to Bunnings also took a very, very long time. Cesar and I played a game of touching each other in the hand and paw quickly but softly. He was very excited because there were many people passing by. It took nearly ten minutes for mum to come outside from the shop and she returned with nothing because according to her, they were too expensive.

Finally, I asked my mum if we could go to Dunkin Doughnuts because it had been five years since the last time we ate some. There were trays and trays of different flavoured doughnuts which stunned me with excitement. It took me a long time to pick which doughnut must I choose. I chose the doughnut of the month! It was colored orange, shiny and crumbly. I also picked a type of custard bavarian doughnut. My mum bought a hot chocolate which was delicious and sweet.

I ate my doughnut of the month in the car on our way home. My eyes became teary as I took a bite of the taunting doughnut. I cried, “Why is this doughnut so sweet!”. My tears fell on Cesar’s mouth and he licked it. It was the sweetest doughnut I’d ever tasted. It was like a torture to me! It felt like I nearly tasted metal (I have a metallic taste when I eat something too sweet). I drank most of the hot chocolate and ate the doughnut quickly so I won’t get the torturous after taste. We went home with the dog clothing we needed to give to Cesar and he looked happy looking at me eating that doughnut.

Eating the doughnut of the month at Dunkin Doughnuts was not a very pleasurable moment for me. I wish the next doughnut I eat there wouldn't be so sweet like the last one I had eaten.

Can you draw a picture of a pony?

Pony drawings

On the 26th of March, I drew one of my best pony drawings!

First, I had to think very hard about the features of my pony. I had to think about the gender, hairstyle and colours of my pony. I made the decision, I was going to draw a colt (which is a young pony. However, as I drew and improved my pony’s hair, he changed into a filly! Later on, I decided to create a musician pony as it reminded of the DJ pony called Vinyl Scratch in ‘My Little pony’.

Soon I began shading and darkening my filly’s hair with a blunt pencil. I called her Windy Storm because she had wind trails with a lightning strike as her cutie mark. I drew Windy a pair of pegasus wings, making her a weather pony! Her legs were slender and her proud eyes looked at me from the paper. She had a nervous smile, but wonderful hair behind her small ears.

Next, I moved onto her first flying picture. She had a neutral smile which had a small blush on her nose. She had a face that reminded me of Octavia Melody.

Her hair was slightly longer than my first drawing.

Then, I drew her final drawing of her in the sky. The picture of Windy storm was blurry. She held onto a necklace with gems inside it shaped like swords. She looked like she was flying. I tried to darken her cutie mark because I am thinking of showing it to my teacher.

Finally, I turned the paper around and drew a colt. He had a similar glasses that Vinyl has. I named him Crotchet Disc because he was going to be a DJ. He was a Unicorn who had a personal crush on Wind. I didn’t want to colour them in because I didn’t want my hands to get sore. I drew different outfits to on them to show to my teacher.

Drawing pony drawings was very hard! Next time, I’m going to improve Windy and Crotchet’s outfits because I want be an artist one day.

Oh no, my apple crumble has now transformed into an apple pie!

Making apple crumble!

On Friday 3rd of June, I had a great time making some apple crumble (well sort of an apple crumble).

My mum was supervising me in using the knife that I used in cutting the three apples for my crumble. I was pretty scared  at first that I might cut my fingers because it was a bit sharp.  I carefully cut and cored the royal gala apples. Then I chopped them up into various shapes. I discarded the core because I did not like seeds in my crumble. My mother thought that I wasted the apples because of the way I peeled them.

After that, I threw the cut up apples in a heavy saucepan and put it on medium heat. I used a small stick to prod the apples to see if they’re mushy. I almost forgot to add water and sugar! The stewed apples created a pleasant aroma that taunted us and made us all hungry already. I mixed sugar, flour and some butter (that I softened in the microwave) and started to mix them together. The dough was challenging because it was as hard as a clay.  It was my mistake because I prepared it before stewing the apples which made the butter hard again so I decided to break it into pieces of different shapes and sizes.

Next I asked my mum where to find an ovenproof tray to put my apple crumble mixture in then I placed it in the oven to bake.  We couldn’t find the right tray so we just used our pizza tray with some tin foil on it. We timed it for 30 minutes to bake. It wasn’t my idea to place the dish into our compact oven. My mum decided to bake it there  because she said that it will give the same result. It turned out to be wrong.

As I was washing the dishes, I kept looking at the crumble to see if it was baking well. Then I realised that I actually forgot to add the rest of the sugar so I sprinkled it on top of my crumble. Slowly, my crumble started to look odd because it did not look crumbly  now, it looked like an apple pie using shortbread dough that were stuck together. The timer beeped so I took it out. It wasn’t that hot or cold, it was just right. My mum and I both took a spoon and scooped the apple crumble. It was the 'best' dessert with apples I’ve ever tasted! Except it was a bit burnt! But we just I truly enjoyed baking my  apple crumble that turned into an apple pie but I did not mind because it was still scrumptious and deliciously yummy.

Making apple crumble was wonderful! I wish that I did not over baked it that’s why it got burnt. My favorite part was eating it because it really did taste like an apple pie! :D

Can you draw dainty cats?

On Saturday 28th of May, I had a hard time drawing to improve my skills and to prepare myself for any upcoming events!

First, I started to draw a person. It’s gender was a girl because the hair was always the easiest to draw. The eyes were the ones I used for drawing cats. Cesar rushed into my mother’s room upstairs (where I was drawing) and started to gaze at me with his kawaii eyes that nearly made him look like a puppy except with a mustache. The face was finished after Cesar started running around uncontrollably for no reason at all.

Next I started draw the body including the legs and the arms. Having to draw long hair, I was able to draw a bit of shading to the body. I almost forgot if my character needed cat ears, the hair averted me from drawing them so I just moved on. The arms were quite easy as I didn’t need to put a lot of effort for them except the sleeves.

After that I drew the legs which was not difficult to draw. The person’s legs were slender, yet a bit detailed. I added small socks. This drawing was nearly done when I added a magical katana which reminded me of Blake Belladonna from RWBY (A movie by Rooster teeth).

Finally, I drew some cute cats as cats as pets that could attack. One of them was a ghostly cat which made it look slightly spooky when in battle with others. After finishing my drawing, I left my paper and pencil on the table so I can play with Cesar for the whole morning.

Drawing cats to practice my skills was wonderful! I wish that my artistic ability will will improve nextime. I must endeavour to keep drawing every time I got free time at home.

Cookie and Cream, stop attacking me!

The splendid Saturday!

On Saturday 27th of February, Kevin’s family and I had the best Saturday ever!

We drove to Coronation street to go to Kevin’s house. I was at the back seat with Cesar who was scared from the movements of our car.

When we arrived, I hopped off the car straight away and my sister held onto Cesar carefully because he didn't have a leash on him. We crept inside, but Cookie and Cream outran us. Cesar ran away from both Cookie and Cream.

After that, I played with Kevin for a while. We played Mine craft for 10 minutes. I felt bored after a while, so I played Final Fantasy 13 Lightning returns instead. I used a wide range of abilities and my favourite ability is lancet because I could deplete an enemy's health and heal Lightning.

I played Roblox with Kevin in a game called Dragon rage. We had to survive the fierce strong dragon attacks that forced us to launch into the water. I had pink armor with with hair that looks like Lightnings with bombs so that I could evade and hide from the dragons that I named Amber, Garnet and Jet Bahamuts.

After an hour of playing, I heard Mae, Melin and my sister laughing about things that they were playing, I decided to watch Popularmmos. I watched a lot of lucky block videos. My favourite one was the Creeper Titan. Then I played with Nami, Korkie, Cookie, Cream and Cesar that was when I discovered that my mum and Kevin's dad weren't here because they were transporting the new couch to our house.

When I was playing with the dogs, I was attacked by Cesar and Cream. The puppies ran all over me like a pack of bulls while Nami was showing her cuteness at me. I retreated quickly and spotted the eldest one (Korkie) of the dogs and had a weird expression on his face. I noticed Cesar staring at me while I was playing FFRK (final fantasy record keeper) and tried to complete some of the quest.

Soon I felt bored again within an hour but my was mum was hear (yay!). We all then ate some delicious noodles and some crispy fish before we left. The noodles were hot off the stove and I tried to cool it down because I like it when food is at the right temperature. Before long, we left with a boy and a bye and with joy.

Going to Kevin's house was amazing! My favourite part of the day was when I used bombs to drown people in the water in the game, Dragon rage.

Yuck, I don't like this bubble tea!

The best time at the night market

Have you been to the night market?

On Saturday 5th of December, Kevin’s family and my family went to the best night market in Auckland.

First, we looked for yummy food to buy and eat. We ended up buying teriyaki chicken, soft dumplings, squid and bubble tea. I hated the bubble tea because it was too watery. We feasted on the delicious food. I was surprised because Kevin wanted hot chips. He thought he was still too young to purchase food so I bought the chips for him.

Later on I attacked my tomato sauce smothered chips because it was so yummy. Mae was was sitting next with my sister while Melin was buying cute anime figurines. Kevin’s dad spoke to my mum while Kevin was eating his fried rice.

Moments passed, I felt lonely and I started thinking about Cactuar. Cactuar was a cactus in Final Fantasy.

A vision came over me and a blanket of darkness covered. I soon realized that I was a pony in that vision (It reminded me of Luna in My Little Pony).

Although I felt lonely and a bit scared, I was still having a good time with Kevin because we talked about Final Fantasy 13. Before long, we felt sad and bored because we had nothing to do except talking and eating. Then I caught a glimpse of excitement from our family and his family for us to go home. We hopped into Kevin’s spacious car and drove home.

Last Saturday was thrilling! I wish we could do more activities next Saturday. My favorite part was when I danced to the public before we bought food.

Have you seen the movie Brave?

The most epic movie

On a shadowy night on Sunday 18th of October, my mum and I watched an epic movie called ‘Brave’.

While we were watching the movie, I played with my Lego biplane. I built it because I wanted to try and build a delivery plane from one of my favorite movies called Balto. However the plane broke easily. The balance was 50%, the weight was 25% and defense was 10%. When the movie started, I was sitting with my breakable, medium plane and the sleeping, cute Cesar.

My favorite part of them movie was when the king loudly shouted at an archer so he shot a bulls eye. Soon Cesar was sound asleep because he was very comfortable. It was very funny watching Brave.

The second part was where the princess and the queen/bear went into a foggy kingdom with the three princes. One of the princes wanted to rule the kingdom by himself, so the whole kingdom fell apart. The greedy prince had also changed into a bear with the power of ten men (wow!).

When the movie was almost finished the queen transformed back into a human with a strip of grayish hair near her forehead. After the movie finished, It showed a soldier with a spear who by a talking crow with lots of decoration made out of smooth wood and they were dancing.

It was splendid watching Brave. I wish the movie I watch next time will be even more better. My favorite part of the night was when Cesar was pretending to play dead.

I'm feeling dizzy...

The Craziest Sunday

On Sunday 11th of October, I had the most busiest and craziest Sunday ever!

First, We were driving over to new market. It was so busy every carpark was occupied! My mum and I had to drive in circles, looking for an empty carpark. After five minutes, we finally got to hop of our dark blue car so we can go shopping.

We walked around the shops, looking for clothes to buy. When we went into a shop, I started feeling dizzy like spinning in a circle five times. My mum was excited  seeing lots of beautiful clothes on racks and she looked like a roaming mouse, waiting for a huge slice of cheese. My mum made her decision, she bought a wonderful skirt that had a stretchy fabric.

After that, we went to a shoe store which was full of so many people. It was unbelievably crazy! I had to sit down because I was in a terrible daze (I couldn’t handle the loud noises!). My mum was taking so long to buy shoes for herself because she needed new shoes to wear for work.

When we were done, we walked swiftly down to the carpark and drove to the Warehouse. In there, it was filled with billions of old, new, plain and big cars like there was a huge sale, everyone was walking everywhere! When we were inside, I raced over to the lego collection to find a cheap lego set. I found a lego halo ghost with an elite/spec ops with a bluish energy sword. Nope, it was too expensive. It was about $20.

I finally bought a tiny submarine set like about a nanometer. My mum was chattering with her friends while she was checking the unknown price price of stonewell. When we were done, we bought our items and left into the windy atmosphere. The wind flew around me into a spiral like a tornado brewing. So we left with happy faces and went home.

Going shopping was crazy! I wish it would be peaceful next time.

This cake is a lie!

The best birthday party!

On Sunday 20th of September, Kevin’s dad had the best birthday party ever!

First, I was being annihilated by Nami and Korkie, Kevin’s dogs because they are fast and they are mad dogs. It made me go crazy because Korkie was charging on me like an angry bull so I couldn't play with Kevin.

I finally got to play, but the dogs kept stopping me because Nami and Korkie were trying to smite (strike with a firm blow) me to the ground with their cute and fluffy paws (they were like sentry turrets that pack a punch but cute at the same time!).

After getting imperiled (in danger of being injured) by Nami and Korkie, I played with Kevin in Minecraft for about an hour. We went into the best mind-blowing place on Earth, ‘the castles of rogues’.

We played a lot of cool songs like airplanes (my favourite song), OMG, m.r saxobeat and take over control (Kevin’s favourite song). I played airplanes while making an enormous airplane like GLaDOS’ control panel (genetic lifeform and disk operating system).

We then sang happy birthday to Jhun (except me because I’m dancing the happy move) and gave him a sweet and brownish chocolate cake that had a pinkish candle and a creamy milk chocolate rocket in the middle (the cake is a lie!). When I went home, Cesar tried to run me over like a mashy spike plate squishing a potato.

Jhun had the best birthday ever! I wish it was going to be better next time. My favourite part was when I got to munch on spicy/non spicy chicken with flaming hot gravy and mushy, potato chips.

Do you know what 'GLaDOS' means?

The creepiest Sunday

On Sunday 13th of September, I had a fun time unraveling the dark secrets of Portal 2, walking Cesar and playing Minecraft.

First, we had to walk Cesar and deliver local papers for money and exercise. He was really excited and energetic like he drank gallons of coffee loaded with caffeine. When we came back to our house, I started to play Minecraft because I had to finish off the shop in Yandere High school called ‘OMG’ and an enchanter shop so people can upgrade their weapons and armour.

After playing Minecraft, I played the complex Portal game so I can unlock certain achievements like the final transmission by bringing an aperture radio into the rattmann’s dens and it will cause a detonating beep forever unless you take out the radio out of the den. I was nervous because, I thought it will explode the test subject before I could finish it

Later, I watched Samgladiator play Yandere High school. My favourite part was when he was using the main characters bike to go to school and he gets stuck on one of the pathways so he thinks the concrete was soggy and wet. Another part I liked was when Samgladiator poured water onto a student’s head and he laughs at her.

After that, I watched a video about GLaDOS and it was a bit scary because GLaDOS was Chell’s mother and she tries to kill Chell. There was another picture of Caroline (human form of GLaDOS, genetic lifeform and disc operating system) hanging on a control system upside down, covered in straps of cloth all around her. When I was done, I had to stop watching videos because it was getting dark and a bit scary because of GLaDOS, the rattmann and the companion cubes dark secrets.

Walking Cesar and watching creepy videos was really splendid! I wish it would be better next time. One of the creepiest time that I had was when I was watching Doug rattmann's video. It said that he was with you in the dens even though you couldn't see him.

Okami, you're the best!

The Best Saturday

On Saturday 5th of September, I was really happy from playing the super mechs and watching videos.

First I played super mechs. I was really lucky because, I had legendary and mythical items to equip myself for extreme battles with the death punch mark two and a stunning sword that shocks my enemies. The death punch was really deadly. It shot only one missile but caused 100+ damage like a nuclear bomb!

Later I tried to defeat a couple of mechs with my guns and swords and a legendary turret that really backs me up with a lot of damage that burns my enemies into ashes that also burns my mech like it’s overheating. After that I watched Yandere high school new teacher in minecraft with Taurtis and smalgladiator.

One of my favourite part was when the Okami the new teacher threw a mini firework in the classroom and all the student applaud her with exciting joy. Another part I liked was when Taurtis sold Tauritos (a mixture of Taurtis name and doritos) to Okami and tried to be sincere so Okami can buy Tauritos and it worked!

When night came, we went to the Warehouse to buy a humongous food bag and some tools for cooking. I looked at the lego star wars toys so I don’t feel bored and tired. When we were done shopping, we went to the night market to buy food. We bought korean fish-shaped waffles that was chocolate and red bean flavour and dumplings to eat at home which I liked because they were soft and well cooked.

When we returned home, Cesar ran me over roughly and painfully. This is the part where I thought I would die because Cesar was biting me non-stop and attacking me as if I was his real foe.

Last Saturday was very exciting. I wish it will be better than any other Saturday.

Can someone give me a warm cup of water?

My awesome weekend!

On Sunday 28th of June, my family and I went to my favourite restaurant “Hansan” to eat.

I slowly walked to the table which had a couch on the right side and a plastic but hard chairs. I down on one of the chairs as it was about to be stuck to a wall.

My mum ordered her food. she ordered her food. She ordered some soup with raw, thick and hard noodles that was soaked with an acid-tasting lemons to make it tasty. Gillian wanted a mouth watering soup with tender, juicy pork and a sprinkle of tiny flakes of ginger. For me it looked like a nanometer of ginger flakes. Finally it was my turn, I ordered P10 which was a pork dish with secret ingredients and a dip that was sweet including a really warm soup.

We waited and waited, I was starving! Minutes later, the food arrived, I was hungry like a wolf (not just hungry but fierce!). We then ate,  I started with the soup, I took a spoonful of it and took a sip, It was really tasty! Five minutes later, I ate the tender meat with the rice. My mouth was in flames! It wasn't spicy hot but it was sizzling hot, my mouth felt an inferno! My mouth was in combustion. I had to drink frosty water to neutralize or eliminate the burning sensation, my mouth became frozen and I had a terrible brain freeze!

When we got to the house, Cesar was crying but not sobbing because he missed us. We heard him crying near the glass door. When we unlocked it, he was overfilled with joy but, the joy was to OP, it made run around the living room like mad!

I then watched Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2. Flint was looking for the Flisudfr with a weird person. Brent was eating the camera guy’s soup when Flint karate chopped it off Brent’s hand. The camera guy sadly said “No one has ever rejected my soup”. The following parts of the movie was when the ape was on their side and Flint saved the living food by returning the Flisudfr.

This weekend was really fun. I wish I had more fun next weekend with my mum and my sister.
