English translation:well done, girl you are a fast learner and I like your beautiful blue eyes
Explanation:
baie mooi can also mean: very pretty, but from the context (punctuation would have helped) is seems the other interpretation works better.

baie mooi= very pretty, though can be used to say "well done"
as sandra said aster is a flower (chrysanthemum), though I'm not totally sure of its use in this sentence.
