it snowed intermittently today and unfortunately, it was not the pretty white blanket type of snow but the really wet and slushy kind. well, at least the snow hates michelle, everytime we step out into the cold the snow stops miraculously, somehow.

the really sleepy michelle, who was tired out from her weekend trip to Dublin and acting the part.

the (chin-chye) dinner we put together while waiting for erik to arrive. and michelle has discovered a new-found interest in capsicum. welcome to the club!

erik arrived eventually...he cuts an apple like no other.

our chocolate fondue preparations...three boxes of strawberries for a pound.

other fruits. erik kept reheating the chocolate to get the correct texture, and when he finally succeeded in doing so, he rushed us to the table...'quick, before it hardens!'

michelle, the one who can survive on toast.

erik melting the chocolate, while michelle eats a strawberry. according to erik, strawberries are aliens. well, this picture makes erik look really huge and michelle really small because of the angle.

erik was doing the dishes, i think, and i wandered off. this is my flat's living area...my room is not in the picture but to the right of it.

my room door, with a welcome note from my sweet flatmate.

and then it started snowing again. michelle admiring the snow (not erik's reflection) that she'll never get to play in.

well, if you look really hard, you might spot a speck of snow. hur.

i'm liking my new flat - its really close to school, nice and friendly flatmates, erik and michelle are just several blocks away...and boys in tutus, not a sight you see everyday. :D
