sands

they are running out for me in Singapore *sadness*

Just back from a birthday bash at Nellie & Chris' lush house on the East Coast; Lions lost in the last few minutes, champagne and cake was delicious, their short people are almost as luscious as my own gorgeous blond; long catchup with Paul H, job offer (tempting!)

Next year already on the planner; maybe even later this year, I *love* Singapore.

Ritz Carlton champagne brunch tomorrow after,if I get up early enough, another frying session at the pool and a few more leisurely sessions in cool water and hot sun. Probably even more shopping after that and an eventual trek back to Blighty.

Haven't taken many photographs, this feels more like coming home than going on holiday but I've felt so GOOD all week.

I'm home!

everything went well on the transport and general works business, caught the taxi, the train , the bus, the plane all in good time - and now I'm "home" - despite being shafted by a coastal taxi tour from the airport instead of a direct route (white, at airport, only has address *shrug*)

Feel like I last saw Chit & Mark 7 days ago, not years, been out for a meal, doing the drinking thing, relaxed, cool, happy

blissed; again

lucky me

Sylvia?



Who is she?

Top weekend, variously: 3 events on Saturday, including Last Days of Decadence, staying at the Andaz on freebie hotel points from last year's corporate heaven, all afternoon at the LAM on Sunday, checking out some zingy diamonds from Richard Larsen, a bit of a libation with Mark afterwards, and home early because I was zosted, but happy

Going to bed NOW since the course I'm on extended to 6:30 instead of 5 tonight, and 8:30 instead of 9 tomorrow - in Woking *snarl* I don't do morning at the best of times and morning + M25 today was a royal pain after the tube strike, bus diversions and not getting home till 1am this morning from the favourite girls night Ladies Munch

Roll on a new weekend

9 days wonder

crowing! just booked my flights to Singapore to spend some time with Mark & Chitra for nine whole lovely days; in a place I like with people I love spending time with

bossman said I can have holiday the week before we start testing

bossman said he'll wear my being jetlagged and 'working from home' the day I get back (I've forgotten which side of the journey gives you the worst bit)

I even know where my passport is!

Paying it forward by having to be in London tomorrow(today) AND Wednesday, then Woking on Thursday *gloom* but bossman said it was OK to book an hotel for tomorrow night. This means I'll get caught for a working dinner but at least I don't have to spend four hours travelling every day

Number 5, Ritz Carlton, Hyatt Martini Bar, Clarke Quay, Next Page, Stamford, Carnegies, Moulin Rouge, Nur Jehan : see, 9 places without even thinking about it, and SHOPPING! with girlfriends! ahhh! and Chijmes; and, and, and

drooling
