About Rose: I grew up in Singapore, lived in Melbourne but currently call London home. I love gastronomic adventures, especially while travelling. I stated writing at 17 to remember how it all began.

6.54m; sunday
back from kuantan! :) had lots of fun on the trip though i swear i've seen enough oil palm plantations to last me a lifetime. the trip made me realise how much i missed geog *sigh*.. well the beach was beautiful and running my hands through the cool sand, looking at the stars and having great company totally made my day *you rock vaid!* because there weren't any lights around, the whole sky was littered with twinkling stars. it was so pretty. feel very much rested and i suppose i'm up for another 4 weeks of teaching. hope i'll make it. well i guess, if you want me to, i will. Sometimes, i wish i was more ignorant. ignorance is bliss(?) Hoping perhaps, that at least i won't mull over things too much. it's strange how everything happens for a reason but many a time, we never really know what that reason is. faith they say gets you through, but i also remember being told that "hope kills". its futile i think, to keep on trying.. prodding and ploughing your way through the sludge of life.. and in that sludge, it's like quicksand. you don't quite know what to do for it seems that there's nothing that can be done. try any harder, and you'll just sink even further. stay still, and you're wedged in your own helplessness and desperation. i'm pretty alright with the way things are but am just wishing for more. i don't think i'm asking for too much. i just have to climb every mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow, till i find my dream.
Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time"
