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.

saturday; 8.22am
It's been a huge week for me because after much contemplation, moments where I'm pushed to the brink (in tears) I have decided to go for it and know deep in my being that it'll be a great thing. I have found comfort in true friends, solace in conversations and patience from people i now only have more respect for. I will however have to tackle number 9 with where I'm going.
Spend New Years Eve in Times Square, New York.
Find contentment.
See the Aurora lights.
Find a four leaf clover.
Celebrate my birthday on Bastille Day in France.
Work with/ in the United Nations.
Sail the Whitsundays in Australia.
Go ice skating under the stars during Christmas.
Learn how to cycle.
Sing a karaoke song in front of an entire bar even if it's absolutely embarrassing.
Watch all four tennis grand slams live.
Fall asleep under a tree in a park.
Be in a room/ place full of peony roses and hydrangeas.
Make a positive difference in a someone's life.
Climb Machu Picchu in Peru.
Speak fluent French.
Learn how to make the perfect crème brûlée.
Go to the fairgrounds/ carnival with someone special.
Have a pet goldfish/ turtle called Pemberley.
Visit Petra in Jordan.
On another note, things have been good at work. The end of year function was really nice and fun and there's the Christmas lunch next week which will be really good. Everyone's starting to leave for their holidays and I'll be leaving Landers soon which makes me feel strangely woeful. I have gotten along really well with everyone and I have just fit right in and got to work on Apache. It also doesn't get any better when people share your love for cake :)
Hmm, it's been pouring and pouring for an entire day and night and that I can't ever remember Melbourne raining this much in the 4 and a half years I've been here. But it's good for staying under the covers on a cold day, even if it's supposed to be summer. I should get cracking with college of law stuff :/
"I will never know cause you wll never show come on and love me now, come on and love me now I hear sounds of lovers, barrel organs, mothers I would like to take you down there just to make you mine in a merry-go-round" - carnival, cardigans
