SYDNEY - Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race on Boxing Day

SYDNEY - Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race - On Boxing Day, a fleet of 95 assembled at Sydney Harbour to compete in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. All the yachts were competing against the leading Wild Oats XI from the top and trying to beat it.

BOXING DAY - I woke up early in the morning to Westfield Shopping Centre on Pitt Street to check out the major Boxing Day Sale but was hugely disappointed as there were long queues to enter shops and the discounts were not significant. After shopping for 2 hours, we drove to Watsons Bay to check out the excitement and watch the Yachts racing against the strong winds. It was a relaxing way to de-stress after escaping the massive crowds from shopping earlier.

I was dressed in a classy black and white dress together with my new Forever New Hat :)

Yachting - Out at Sea at One Degree Fifteen Marina Club, Sentosa Cove.

Out at Sea

One Degree Fifteen Marina Club

Sentosa Cove

One of the perks of being an entrepreneur is that you can choose to work whenever you like. We went on a boat trip on a weekday where there were less people out at sea. We all gathered at One Degree Fifteen, Sentosa, at around 2pm in the afternoon and brought along lots of drinks and chips! 

I love One Degree Fifteen!

FUN FACT: Why is this place called One Degree Fifteen??

Answer: This Marina Club is actually 1 degree and fifteen minutes away from the Equator! 

Look at how cool Esther is, being in total control of the boat. The water was a little choppy that day, but still bearable. No one puked from sea sickness. I guess, we were well prepared. We all took a "Dramamine" pill each, to counter the motion sickness. But who drinks medication with beer!? Omg... Mayne, u looked really sultry with that huge sunglasses! :)

We cruised to St John's island, which was about 10 minutes or so away. We docked there, with other boats around us too. Looks like, a lot of people don't need to work on a weekday?!? 

Some of us went swimming. Well, actually I was dragged in, literally. Thanks to Mr "Bar Bar Black Sheep" owner who simply pulled my ankles while he was in the water. I fell in like a big elephant, making a big splash which was rather embarrassing. Do check out Bar Bar Black Sheep website at http://www.bbbs.com.sg/

I was soaked wet in my long summer dress. I love this BEBE dress which was long, classy and most importantly, very comfortable!

The weather was cloudy so it was not too hot. We had great fun swimming in the cool waters...

Around evening when it started to rain, we chilled indoors and indulged in delicious mouth watering SINS Chocolates brought by its very own owner. By the way, I really loved the "Cherry Liquor Chocolate", its a full shot on liquor hidden in the chocolate.

It was a lovely and enjoyable day out at sea... A peaceful getaway from the bustling busy city to relax :)

One Degree Fifteen @ Sentosa Cove - Josephine's Hen's Night - Yacht Party

One Degree Fifteen @ Sentosa Cove - Josephine's Hen's Night - It was a joyous occasion where all the girlfriends met up together to celebrate Hen's night with bride-to-be Josephine!

We met up at One Degree Fifteen after work and brought some sushi and drinks onboard! We spent the night cruising around Singapore waters in a 42 metres high private Yacht at Lazarus Island and St John Island.

We had fun dipping our legs in the cool waters while listening to music as well. It was great catching up :)

I found out that the 42 metres high yacht costs about SGD 1 million and perhaps it's time to save up some money to buy one too! It's really relaxing to chill onboard a yacht and to check out nearby islands!

Singapore Yacht Show 2013 at One Degree Fifteen Sentosa

Singapore Yacht Show 2013

Sentosa One Degree Fifteen

The recent Singapore Yacht Show 2013 (SYS) has been a great success, with its 3rd consecutive year exhibited in Singapore, at Sentosa Cove One Degree Fifteen Marina. This luxury boating event is currently deemed as the most important super yacht industry event of each year. It has attracted many high net worth individuals than ever before, as this year's event is about three times the size of 2012 event. Infact, most of the exhibtitor spaces were sold out 2 months before the event and the numbers of exhibitors have doubled this year. 

Holding this event at Sentosa Cove which is the premium location in Singapore itself, makes a great place for the Asia's elite to mingle. 

The event was a 4 days event from April 18, Thursday, till April 21, Sunday. Lora and I went there on April 19, Friday, to check out the beautiful luxury boats. After which, we attended an exclusive Maserati Event at Brussels Sprouts hosted by Hong Seh Motor's boss, Edward Tan. 

Lora, Enne and I were very lucky to be invited up onto a luxury boat called Challenger. It was a beautiful boat that was very nicely furnished to look like a 5 Stars Luxury Hotel Suite. Everything, inside, was designed to impress. 

Apart from show casing the world's most luxury boats, there were a lot of luxury parties held too, to show case some super cars, contemporary art pieces, and even some exclusive private jets. Although, places like Europe and North America are struggling with their economic crisis, Asia is growing and striding ahead. The big spenders in Asia, are splurging in high end luxury products. 

This event have attracted the biggest names among the super yacht builders and brokers, like Palmer Hognson, Sunseeker, Westport, Feadship, etc. Local dealers included Luxury Yachts, SG Boating, Simpson Marine and Premium. 

Overall, it was a very enjoyable day for us. We met many old friends and we had a great time at Brussels Sprouts Sentosa Cove.
