Catching Up in London
Posted on 07.05.08 to Personal, Travels by JoanQuite the contrary to how I was in Paris, I’m taking it super slow in London. I think I’m suffering from a low from the high I experienced in Paris. Two very different cities and I think Paris set the bar a bit too high up. I was beginning to feel a little homesick yesterday — I think the longest I can stay away from my family is a maximum of four days.
Nonetheless, I’m having a pleasant time here still despite the erratic weather. I caught up with an old friend and his wife yesterday, which was great ‘cos I haven’t seen him in seven years. And he’s crap at keeping in touch being a tech-dodo and all.
Actually, Tony and I used to see each other very briefly, before he left Singapore. And I’m extremely happy for him that he’s married to someone as awesome as Sarah! She’s got a strong personality, is very warm, interesting… very suited for him.
I count myself lucky whenever I meet an ex’s girlfriend/wife who is nothing but warm and accepting of my friendship with their other halves. I’ve been ignored in the face one too many times by various girls over the years, and it’s really silly considering how I’m now married with a gorgeous little girl, and I’m not that close to the exes either.
Recently, again, I was completely ignored by an ex’s newly minted girlfriend at a common friend’s wedding. She just saw right through me and refused to answer any of my questions or acknowledge what I say unless I repeated myself at least three times. Her boyfriend dumped me, for goodness sake, so it’s not as if I was some big love of his that got away! (Well, it could possibly be because she knew that I fell into major depression because of her bf and other things, which caused me to attempt suicide in a spectacularly stupid way and all that crap, but really, do I still look that psycho now?!)
Anyway, a good friend told me that she’s dating him now, so what more bad stuff could I wish upon her? *giggle*
Alright. I’m trundling off to Portobello Market. I hope the rain clears.

I wondered why/how you managed to only spend 2 days in Paris and manage to see what you needed to see and enjoy it. Better there than here, what with the tube having problems every single day amongst other things..
