Sunshiney Days

In all honesty wherever you are in the world, work is work "Same Sh!t different view" as they say...

This is true. Although I do enjoy my job, once consumed by the stark white walls and strip lighting of the office, getting on with your day to day tasks is much of a much. Yeah ok so there are little perks about being in a country where its never below 30 degrees i.e. no jackets (come winter I will be eating my words when I'm missing out on coats scarfs and boots) always being warm when you walk home etc. However it is the weekends that you have to make it count. 

This weekend my friend from work and I did just that. The sun was shining, her Fiancé was out of town and we were lacking on the tan front. So we hit the beach. That's right, Singapore has a beach. In fact Singapore has an entire holiday-esque resort named Sentosa.

Sentosa, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure is worlds away from the Singapore the rest of the world sees. You can get to it by road, Shuttle train or gondola (as in ski lift type not Venecian boat powered by a man with a stick). It boasts 2 golf courses, 2 five star hotels, Casino, Villas of the mega rich, universal studios and 2 massive man made beaches. If you live on the equator, this is exactly what you're after. 

Anyway, my friend and I spent saturday afternoon at Tanjong beach club, chilling in the pool, lazing on the beach, making our way through strawberry daiquiris like they were going out of fashion and a couple of cheeky Tiger beers concealed in my shoes. 

It was the perfect way to spend a saturday afternoon, experiencing some more of Singapore and also catching some rays. For those of you who know it, Tanjong Beach club is rather like a slightly more laid back, family friendly, budget, version of Nikki Beach, you can hire beds and day time slouching seamlessly transitions into evening sleazing. Perfect. 

They also host events at TBC such as the 'Full Moon Party' and 'Smack my beach up" we will attend all of these and party our very hardest all in the name of good blogging material.

 I though I would share with you the internets portrayal of TBC (above). It was very nice however think of these pics as the 'show home version'. Below are the few snaps I managed to get, apologies, my focus appears to have been the sand.

Another perk I have been revelling in as a result of the beaming sunshine in Singapore, is the opportunity to wear summery clothes (well at the weekends) I am a big endorser of the 'seasonal wardrobe' so I may start to tire of this soon, however I'm still on a bit of a honeymoon period with my shorts, so long may it continue. Gone is my uniform of Black skinnies and ankle boots, and in its place a rainbow array of hot pants (thanks topshop) bikinis and floaty tops. Have a gander at some of my recent faves below.

I learnt a valuable lesson on week one about bikini lines and office attire. They do not mix. So I have purchased some new detachable strap bikinis to get me through the tough times. This mother, is what I presume you meant by wise investments.

 Hope the weather's not too bad wherever you're reading from, we've always got a spare room my walk in wardrobe where are you are welcome to crash, maybe I should sack in the day job and run an overseas B&B...
