SingTel Singapore Grand Prix

As soon as we arrived in Singapore and found out that the F1 was around the corner, we decided to buy tickets as this was going to be a "once in a lifetime event".

The Singapore Night Race, which is held in the Marina Bay Street Circuit, is the first night-time event in Formula 1 history.  This is the third year, out of a five-year contract which was originally signed by Singapore GP Pte Ltd, the Singapore Tourism Board and Bernie Ecclestone.  Sponsored by SingTel, the official name of the event is - FORMULA 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix.

Tickets for the three-day race event

A few big acts flew in for the event.  We got to see Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey and Adam Lambert perform, and I was fortunate enough (thanks to hubby) to watch the Chippendale's perform.

Here are few more photos . . .

The track at night

Graze at Rochester Park

The name ‘Graze’ relates to eating at a leisurely pace in relaxed surroundings. The grassy lawns of Graze’s 5,000 sq. foot gardens and the fresh, airy ambience of the colonial-style house was also an inspiration for its name.

Located in a pre-war, colonial-style black and white house in Rochester Park, near Holland Village, it offers a new concept in contemporary homestyle dining in a relaxing, offbeat yet stylish environment.

Hubby and I celebrated my birthday here, the food and ambience was lovely, service was a little lacking from the waiting staff, but we got talking to the owner, who started her F&B career in New Zealand.
