Aborted Landings This Evening

  I was at emergency gate E2 this evening. At 7:25pm, a plane came descending onto the runway next to Changi Coast Road, but just before touchdown, it pulled back up steeply and made a left loop around the airport.
  
  Then, just before 7:40pm, an Airbus 320 landed, but as it was still rolling on the runway, it picked up speed and climbed back into the air. It was dark then, and I couldn't make out the airline on the unlit tailfin, but I thought I perhaps saw Valuair.
  
  I'm not sure if the two planes were the same, but does anyone know what happened? Any ATC on duty at that time?
