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.

I had a dinner party for Soph's birthday yesterday and it was lovely to have company over, to set the table and to enjoy a hearty meal on Cup Day. It's days like these that make me realise that maybe, I could stay here for a while after all. I've been reminded the past month of why it's good to be here. It's been a whirlwind of things from Oktoberfest at work (I dressed up as Kennedy while everyone else rocked up in dindls/ lederhosens), fashion shows in Spring and lovely Sunday brunches in South Melbourne before an afternoon of tennis. There are a couple things in the works that I'm extremely excited about and while it'll mean I'll be working very, very hard over the next year, I dare say it'll be worth it.
But I can't believe the year is coming to an end already. Soon it'll be Thanksgiving at Erica's and then the slew of Christmas parties and most of all, my admission where the parents fly down. And I can't wait for my girls to come down to Melbourne because it'll be such a ruckus. Last year, I remember thinking that 2009 could not possibly top the year before. And as I approach the end of this year, I honestly think that it's all downhill from now because surely things can't get better than the last 10 months. But they say good things comes in threes so I am hopeful that maybe, just maybe 2010 will be better than the last...
