So we've spent the past couple of days lazing around, eating, shopping, swimming...not too bad at all! James had to work Saturday morning, so my plan was to hit the gym - except I ended up sleeping in and only woke up when he came home! 


We spent the afternoon cleaning, napping and watching the Olympics - I keep calling him over to look at something on my laptop and every time I show him the medal table with Team GB 3rd overall and Australia 19th! Every time he falls for it and walks away muttering something about "silver medals". Due to the time difference, I'm missing a lot of medals over here and the TV only shows Chinese and Singaporean athletes, but I'm managing to watch it on the BBC website, so getting my fix! 


Saturday night, we ventured out to Clarke Quay for some dinner and drinks. It's so different to where we're living, very expat and Western-oriented - it even has a Hooters! We went to Brewerkz for steak and beer, before meeting a friend who was travelling through Singapore on transit for cocktails and sushi. 

Obviously very excited about steak!

Today has been even more lazing about while James studies for his Masters. Went to the local hawkers centre for lunch and got a massive container of rice, sweet and sour pork, black pepper pork and mixed veg for £3. And then off for a swim later, managed 800m last night (obviously channelling Becky Adlington - took me about 3 hours longer than her, but it's a start!) 

Tomorrow, I'm planning on going halfway across the city on the MRT and checking out the famous Orchard Road for shopping! Wish me luck!
