F1 sunday night race

We had a great time watching the F1 race with Rowan and Andi on sunday night. Lewis Hamilton walked right passed us too after he was knocked out-he looked very grumpy-unsuprisingly! we had our earplugs in to protect our ears as it was so noisy! Then we watched the beginning of Mariah Carey who was shockingly terrible! such a shame as rowan and I were really looking forward to it!!x

avalon night 2 and grand prix!

so the grandprix started yesterday. we went to rowan and andi's new flat for drinks and cake to celebrate rowan's birthday and then headed to Avalon-again! here are some pics of the night, their beautiful flat and the F1 circuit from when we were at 1Altitude.x

Friday treat lunch

Avalon opening night VIP party!

Hi! well i won 2 VIP tickets through Bazaar mag here to go to Avalon club opening night at Marina Bay last night! so Rowan and I heading along to the free bar after work! was great fun, fab music, although a bit too hardcore clubby by the time we left! we also got interviewed by MTV Aisa so we are looking out for that! and got lots of pics taken! lots of fun and heading there tonight too for Rowan's birthday party (already had tickets booked). Chemical brothers are DJing so should be awesome! Owen arrived back at 1am this morning, poor thing is very tired but im so glad to have him back! not sure how long we will stay out at the club tonight tho, i think Owen may be asleep in the corner by 10pm! And its the F1 this weekend! started today-practise race, we have tickets for sunday night race so we are very excited about that too! so much going on!! I LOVE SINGAPORE!xx ps TGIF! xx

Hair dressers!

So i finally did it and braved the hair dressers. Got a recommendation to go to Toni and Guy so booked in with them after checking a number of times that they definately had experience dying caucasian hair! most hairdressers here wont touch blonde hair as so different from aisian hair. anyway was terrified and felt even worse after the hair colourist said she didnt think she could match the blond that my hair was as it was so light! i convinced her that my hair usually takes in the colour well as its blond anyway. so after 2 long hours, i night add she was very good at putting in the foils, my new beautiful and yes perfectly blonde locks were revealed! no more roots!yay! but OMG it was not cheap, i paid the same amount for a half head colour here as i would for a full head plus cut in the UK. when i told owen this he said-so if you only got a half head what about the other half?! lol! boys! for those of you who dont know, half head is all the roots half way down the head just not all the underneath-which you cant see anyway. so was an overall success!
anyway just back and picked up a baked potato from the swiss food stall-i know, bit random but they seem to have a think about the swiss here!
F1 starts tomorrow! i can not wait! owen back tomorrow too (2am friday really but anyway), so double bonus!!
lots of love xxx

Well am at work again! going well and been getting some interest from our press release which is great. Owen is busy in Thailand and looking forward to getting back on thursday. It's Rowans birthday today so we were going to meet for lunch but she had to cancel as she had an interview. im trying to get motivation to do some exercise tonight as we aren't doing running club till thursday this week. weather hot and nice. F1 drawing closer! and for you cricket fans aparently england have been accused of cheating-means nothing to me but owen was up in arms about it!lol! no other chat really....xxx

singapore night safari

me and Reggie!

Well Owen has just left to go to Thailand for the week :( so feeling a bit sad! had a lovely night last night at the Night Safari! there were lots of places to eat there, although the only vegi options were indian! but it was yummy. then we got on the train thing and went around the park seeing lots of animals in their 'natural' habitiat, it was nice beacause there were no fences they were separated from us and each other by water and cattle grids. we saw elephants and tigers, little otters that were squeaking at each other! fruit bats, rhino, deer, wild dogs and many other amazing animals, i was in my element! we then did the walking route and saw some of the same animals close up which was great.  Owen got me my owen orangotang to take home too :) i have named him Reggie!
So i completed my first week at Gina&Jake last week. Starting to settle into the working routine again and enjoying it although feeling very tired! achieved lots last week too: wrote and sent out our first press release, designed some e-marketing tools and arranged future events. so all good stuff!
I did a bit of shopping too and got some nice summery work outfits :) anyway i think thats about all the top news at the moment. xxx

Rowan and I went out last night to the new bars on the waterfront. we had a lovely pizza and then went to join my new friends Theo and Georgina (www.ginaandjake.com.sg). we were going to go to the Lantern bar which is a roof top above the Fullerton on The Bay (amazing hotel in the CBD) but it was full so we went to a near by Oyster Bar for a cocktail! So beautiful as everyone was outside and it was so warm-almost too warm to sit out! We overlooked the marina and it was so amazing being surrounded but such tall skyscrapers which were all lit up behind us! We plan to go to a roof top bar soon to get a fab view of the whole city! right am going to do some pilates and enjoy a relaxed day with Owen :)

running club

had a nice few days chilling out and exploring some more. Rowan and I joined in the running club this evening, is great. everyone gets together and does a warm up and dumps there stuff in a pile, someone then leads the 3k, 5k, 7k and 10k runs around the marina and you get timed and get free juice at the end! Rowan and I did really well in the 3k, and the heat wasnt as much of a problem as i thought it would be. it was about 7pm so the sun was down. So we are planning to go every thursday or tuesday and im going to buy myself a new Nike running outfit if i can keep going for 1 month and move up to 5k :) watch this space!!
