I'm back in Singapore, back to work, back to the life I was trying to escape from for the last two weeks. My holiday away was simply brilliant. I didn't realise how much I needed that break. Even now, I'm sitting at my office and its about 8pm, I'l incredibly jetlagged and have tons of work, I still feel calm (or perhaps I just that damn tired and sleepy!) But seriously, I feel better than I have in awhile and I know my holiday accomplished what it was meant to.

London itself was grey and rainy as usual but I loved every second of it. Apparently it even snowed which is bizarre for October. I crashed at P's place which is right behind the London Eye (which certainly helped last Saturday when P and I were half drunk and stumbling home from a club in Trafalgar Square and knew we were going the right way because we could see the Wheel Of Hope ahead of us. In hindsight, it was probably quite a silly thing to be walking home at 4 in the morning but at the time we couldn't stop laughing about it. I mean really, the wheel of hope?! likening it to the north star that was directing us on our way?!? we must have been drunk). I mooched most of my time away, just catching up with friends over numerous meals and coffees, went to a couple of house parties and got hilariously drunk, chilled out with my girlfriends and ranted about men. I also jetted off to Milan and Venice for a couple of days to spend time with Wiggly and had the most amazing time! Venice is gorgeous!!! I definitely plan to spend more time in Europe next summer.

As for Z, he is officially being renamed Banker Wanker. For all the hype and sweet-talking and telling me how much he wanted to see me, he ended up cancelling on me last minute 3 times. By the third time when he asked if we could reschedule, I just told him I was too busy and had other plans. He claimed that work was really busy and in fairness, we all know how bad the markets are and how the bankers are suffering the most but I just felt that if he really wanted to, he could have squeezed in a drink with me or at least have the decency to pick up the phone and actually call me to cancel rather than just text. So that was that. He hasn't bothered to be in touch since I told him I was busy and I refuse to message him either.

Meanwhile, it didn't help that there was tons of NG drama going on along the way. Gosh, I'm just so tired of it all now. I went away to get away from him and even then he wouldn't leave me be. I felt so angry at him and still do. I feel like I'm becoming such a bitch to him and have taken on a very cold demeanor in my dealings with him now. But it needs to be done. How much longer can we drag this out?

P, bless her, spent her little free time trying to set me up with her various "eligible" male friends and I hate to say she was eventually successful :) Haha, not my fault though!! He was so incredibly cute and I was convinced he wouldn't be interested in me in the slightest. But we got along really well and ended up hooking up by the end of the night.

Anyways, its back to the grindstone now. I came back to a mass of work and discovered that my secretary "quit" the day after she was given notice that she would be fired. D is also leaving and I'm not quite sure I'll be able to face The Boss without him around. But on the brightside, the Big Boss has confirmed my transfer so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And now, more than ever I am convinced I want to move back to London (in about a year or two and hopefully by then the whole credit crunch mess will be marginally better) so I might need to start looking to moving my ass to an off-shore firm.

I just hope things stay quiet for awhile more. I'm not ready to deal with more drama just yet.
