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.

3.12pm; thursday
i began the week crying to 'tuesdays with morrie' and cringing to 'the devil wears prada' and then transitioned to being comatose on the couch watching the australian open.. and now that i have my hands on sex and the city's season 4,5,6 i don't think i'll be getting off the couch anytime soon. well of course there's the semi annual dental visit that calls for me to get off my arse, and more delightfully- meeting friends ;) jelly, jelly *looks at dayanah & kin*
i love enjoying great food with good friends :) i know i'm going to miss having genki, simpang, dinner at jh's, lagoon (among others) when i go back. there won't be breakfast to surprise nicole with or the dinners i simply love having with sooch. i have exactly a month before i fly back and i agonize at the thought of a 4-day week when i could have crammed it into 3 days if not for int'l law *frowns*. then there's all that packing/squeezing although i would very much prefer to squeeze one of you girls in. hah. i'm very apprehensive of starting sch again. it's supposed to get easier with each sem and i suppose it will *shrugs*. i know it's more the anxiety and frustration of being away from my family/friends and home that prejudices my thoughts and expectations of going back because i do adore so many things about melb. it just kinda sucks having to experience it by yourself, at least till nick's done with his skiing in april. and yet, i know that like before, i'll continue receiving cards in the mail, parcels with trinkets from home (dark brown pens!) *yup! i'm hinting here*, phonecalls that send my bills through the roof and msn chats that titillate. haha, it won't be so bad.. i hope.
alright, back to settling myself in the groove in the couch. ferrero (ooh jolene!), nalbandian (plays gd stuff), henman (yay!) and roddick(!!) are all lined up to play. argh blake & hewitt are still at it- heck of unnerving- but bloody hell, hewitt's pissing me off and i'm hoping blake will whack a volley down his throat.
"A song of you comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines..
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful the dreams I see
The road leads back to you"
