The F1 night race. I just got my tickets for the 2013 race. As a Lewis Hamilton fan I can't wait to see how the Mercedes performs in the city.
The night race through central Singapore makes for a spectacular event, and the orgainisation of outside entertainment is phenomenal.

Top 10 best things about living in Singapore
At 9...
Public transport
I can summarise this easily - SMRT are currently running an advertising campaign to allieviate frustrations surrounding the replacement of railway sleepers on the MRT (Underground). The rationale, according to the advertising campaign, is that broken sleeps equate to a bumpy ride. A bumpy ride will ruin your hair-do! How thoughtful is that?
I've lived in some cities with great public transport - notably Madrid and Prague, but Singapore wins hands down, in my opinion for the best run public transport city.

I will be participating in the 10k run along with some colleagues from work. I don't hold out great expectations for a good time, but I'm looking forward to having some fun and contributing to a good cause.

Diamond Jubilee Weekend
The UK will celebrate 60 years of Queen Elizabeth's reign this coming weekend.
Parties will take place not only across the UK, but the entire commonwealth and anywhere that British subjects abide.
In Singapore there are numerous parties at homes planned, as well as at the British Club.
It should be great fun!

iPhone 5
With the imminent launch of Apple's iPhone 5 I'm wondering whether I ditch my iPhone 4 and keep pace with the market, or wait for the inevitable glitches to be ironed out before I make the leap.
As a user of Blackberry and iPhone I find both have positive qualities but neither achieves all I need them to do - plus I like to have a phone clients can reach me on and a separate one for the kids, wife and mates.
I'm also interested to see what Google will come up with now that it has the development potential with Motorola - how much would you like to visit their R&D lab?
I love technology, it just keeps getting better and better.

Goodwood 360
Last night I attended the Rolls Royce event to launch the extended length Ghost. The additional 17 centimetres has been introduced to cater for the Chinese market, who prefer to ride in the back of their vehicles as opposed to European clients who prefer to drive.
What a fantastic event it was though, on show were the best of the best including one of the 100 anniversary cars, the electric Phantom and a beautiful drop head Phantom which sold (SGD1.9m)
Sadly I'm not in the market for one of the Goodwood produced models, but looking online I see that the predessor to the Phantom, the Seraph can be bought for under 30,000 pounds in the UK. That's a lot of car for the money. Probably a terrible investment though!
How about then a 1990 Silver Spirit for 10,000 pounds?
However it has to be said that they would not be a patch on the post 2003 cars made in Goodwood - the perfect blend of German engineering and British design, craftsmanship and individual design.
