Terrorism that's Personal.

November 29th, 2009 by sixpegs

I came across this article few weeks ago and I felt the urge to share.
It is called “Terrorism that’s Personal” by Nicholas D.Kristof and was published in late 2008.

Everyone would probably see terrorism as a political act but who would have imagined
that it is also something affecting many women in Pakistan?

“But sometimes it

The Bucket List.

November 23rd, 2009 by sixpegs

Ever wondered when you’ll leave this world?
Everyone talks about the uncertainties in life, but how many of us will actually take time
to really put in more effort to live each day to its brim?

We don’t know when we’ll be gone.
It could be a year, or even a day.

And I am guilty of taking life for granted because I don’t remind myself of how precious life is often enough.
Only when I see someone around me pass on, then will I stop and think about my life so far.
I watched this movie called “The Bucket List” starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson some time last year.
They played a pair of friends who first met in a hospital, and both left with a couple months to live.
Instead of fearing death, the spontaneous duo took the more adventurous route and went on to fulfill their Bucket List -
the list of things they want to accomplish before they pass on to the other world.

This movie is really inspirational.
Have you ever asked yourself what would be in your Bucket List?

Alright I just thought of a couple off hand and I thought I should share them here on my blog.
Will update it when I think of more to add on to it.

Things I want to do before I die

Travel around the world, one stop at a time.
Buy a stranger a meal
Get married
Travel solo
Work/stay abroad
Skydive
Punch someone in the face
Write and record my very own song
Have a baby
Skinny dip
Pull a mega prank
Have triple consecutive orgasms (!)
Have my own house
Volunteer at a charitable organization
Learn how to drive
Learn to forgive

Our matching new skin.

As I was doing my work halfway last night, Buttons was complaining that he is a little bored of his blog layout.
Being an older resident at WordPress, I encouraged him to purchase the license to modify the CSS template at his blog.
With that, he will be able to play around with the codes of the blog and
thus have more control of how he wants his website to look like.

So after he was convinced by me, I lent him a hand and we did up his website.
Now his website has a new look and is really looking good!

PROBLEM IS – after I’ve done up his website for him, I realised that his website is prettier than mine!
Damn.
I really like how his website looks now and so I stole his template and used it for my own blogsite too.
He insisted that I have to blog about this so that the readers won’t think that he is the one who stole my design.

HAHAHAHA. So sensitive right!

So whatever, yeah, I copied his design.

For this present temporary layout, you can now navigate the different pages from the tabs above.
I have also added a new page called “Favourites” where you can now find the more popular entries.
If you’re a fan of the “Top Tens” entries, do check them out over there too as I’ve put all of them together for your convenience!
And remember to check out the new layout at Button’s website here as well!

We went for lunch yesterday and went to get a shirt as a birthday present for his Dad.
Then we saw this really adorable toy selling at Isetan Parkway Parade, and we bought a pair for ourselves.
It’s really adorable right?

Paranormal Activity

November 19th, 2009 by sixpegs

I watched Paranormal Activity with Buttons last night, all curled up under my sheets.
Everyone around me has been telling me how freaky it is,
and even Button’s elder brother said that it’s really worth watching.
According to Buttons, his brother is like the Guru of all horror flicks,
so if he said that it’s good, it definitely won’t be anywhere near bad.

So after mustering all my courage, we finally got together to watch the show in the middle of the night.

To be honest, I was hiding behind the sheets half the time.
And used the blanket to cover my entire face, revealing only 2 square centimeters at the corner of my eye to watch.
HAHAHAHA.
That’s really how freaky it is!

The sound effects used in the movie is very minimal.
There are no gory scenes and not much sudden movements to shock you,
but it is THAT exact silence and stillness that makes you imagine so much that you’re freaking yourself out.

After watching the movie, I’m secretly happy that I live in a HDB.
I think I’ll be freaked out at every corner if I live in a house as big as the one in the movie.
Like what Buttons said, “Imagine if they have a version shot in a HDB flat, it’ll really scare the shit out of us!”
I totally agree!

The amazing thing is, this movie is only shot with a US$15,000 budget!
I’m sure it is already making millions of dollars by now.
Well, it shows that low budget and indie movies can be fantastic as well.
I shall invest a video camera and start filming right away.

:x
Just kidding.

I rate Paranormal Activity 5 Sweaty Armpits!

I had a makeover yesterday & I totally love my makeover!
Honestly, I haven’t been dolling myself up of late and it’s nice to look pretty again.
Hehehe.
The makeup artist is really helpful and skillful too!
She also gave me some of her exclusive cosmetics that are imported from US.
They’re really pretty! I will post up some more updates and details in early December.
Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, here is a picture taken during the makeover!
Special thanks for Buttons for helping me with the photo. :p

I really love Button’s Casio camera too!
Look at his makeup function, makes my skin looks SUPER smooth and good! :D

Here is Buttons and I having our early dinner at a nearby hawker centre.
We were both STARVING after the makeover!!
Buttons loves me and his ah-pek kopi. :p
I love Buttons and my cute shoes!

We celebrated my Mommy’s birthday couple days ago too.
Hope Mommy will always be so young, pretty and healthy forever! :D
LOVE MOMMY!

Chocolate Spa Retreat!

November 17th, 2009 by sixpegs

Picture 2

I am proud to be invited to Phillip Wain to try out some of their most awesome treatments!
It has been quite a stressful period for me of late and these pampering treatments really came at the right time.
Phillip Wain is located at Level 4 in United Square, which is really near my house!
Well I guess it won’t be too far from anyone’s house since it’s located in the heart of Singapore.
Anyway, it was a very pleasant experience at Phillip Wain and I’m here to share my first visit today.

clapping

When I first stepped into Phillip Wain, I was immediately greeted by friendly receptionists.
The place is always bustling with activity, filled with healthy looking people. :p
I was invited into one of the consultation rooms and
met up with marketing executive Yen Lin and one of their trainer, Eelyn.
They assessed my skin and body professionally and came up with a series of treatments for me.

I’m really thrilled!

For the first visit, I received a Chocolate Spa Retreat!
I know, it sounds super delicious right?
Well, it was really pampering and smells too good to be true.
But before I give you the details, shall bring you around the place so you know how it’s like there.

The bath and changing area is spacious and definitely have sufficient room for members.
There are ample lockers, dressing area for everyone, and also a steam room and sauna room for members!
Another thing wonderful about Phillip Wain is, it is only for ladies!
So you don’t have to feel awkward or uneasy when you’re walking around the place in your comfy robes.

Phillip Wain1

Here is the yoga studio.
Phillip Wain boasts of a great array of different yoga classes like Yin Yoga, BuZen Yoga, Hatha Yoga, etc.
Classes of various difficulty levels are made available everyday for the entire week.

IMG_0251

There is wireless network available in the whole of Phillip Wain.
Along the walkways, there are many seats for members to sit and just chill the afternoons away.
Whether you like it indoors or alfresco, it’s all available.
If you want to shop for some skincare products or gym wear, fret not.
Because they are all available here too!

IMG_0256

As for the spa treatment I was getting, I swear it was totally awesome!

It began with a Chocolate Body Scrub to exfoliate while
fortifying my skin with minerals and vitamins from cocoa extract.
I then received a relaxing massage using collagen cream with sweet almond oil which
helps to improve my skin’s suppleness.
The treatment ended on a high note with an ultra-pampering spa experience
with a Chocolate Cocoon Body Wrap to allow complete absorption
of all the rich minerals and vitamins as heat wrap effectively combats water retention
and caffeine boost aids in slimming therefore improves silhouette and smooth the appearance of orange-peel skin.

“A lovely chocolate rhapsody based on pure cocoa extract
that is rich in polyphenols, caffeine and vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E
which have hydrating, regenerating and anti-cellulite effect!
Cocoa induces the production of endorphins in the body, substances
that are capable of activating the natural process of fat elimination.
Plus, properties of cocoa improves the appearance of skin by increasing hydration,
reducing skin roughness, and supporting the skin

Celebration of Friendship!

November 16th, 2009 by sixpegs

I’m finally back from my Batam trip with Buttons!
It’s my first time at Batam and although I have to admit that the resort is not really that impressive,
the staff at Harris Resort are really very friendly!

The trip was really short lived but I really enjoyed myself with Buttons. :)
We were both really busy so this short trip was perfect for us.
You guys must be wondering why did we go on this trip suddenly.
It’s actually just a short trip to celebrate our One-Year-Old Friendship!
We met almost a year ago in school and this is just a small celebration to remind us of that day again.

Here is a picture of Maliboo just before I brought her out to the dog sitter’s place.
I really love my dog sitter Esther, always so friendly and trustworthy!
She lives really near Buttons so it’s very convenient for us too. :)

IMG_0319

Here is Buttons and I on the ferry to Batam.
You’ll probably be disappointed if you’re expecting a lot of pictures in this entry.
I’m getting a little lazy with taking pictures lately.
Probably because I’m feeling fat, don’t really feel like taking pictures also. Bad.

IMG_0322

I took my favourite mini suitcase on this trip.
When I first saw this suitcase, I fell deep in love with it!
When I saw it in the shop, the price tag on the suitcase stated “Runaway Suitcase”!
How cute, right? :p
I love running away!

And yes I’ve got a big bruise on my thigh. :x

IMG_0323

I went for some treatment for my face few days ago at Phillip Wain,
and I got some really precious advice on how to take good care of my face.
To my horror, I realised that I’ve really been treating my skin in a really bad way.
So for the whole of my Batam vacation, I insisted not putting on any makeup except for drawing my brows and mascara.

As a result, I really looked quite horrible throughout the trip.

Here is a picture of part of the spa room in Harris Resort.
The building where the spa is located is actually really old!
But to our surprise, the spa itself is really nicely decorated and the service staff are all very friendly.
The treatment rooms were pretty and comfortable to be in as well.
So Buttons and I were really happy with the spa treatments we’ve received.
It’s really good too because they have a lot of couple treatment rooms available. :)

Pardon my messy bed.
I only remembered to take pictures after everything was over! :p

IMG_0341

IMG_0348

We totally forgot about booking our return ferry tickets on the first day.
And by the time we remembered on the second day, the earlier ferry tickets were all gone!
Buttons had to miss a dinner appointment with his friend and we had to spend around 3 hours doing nothing!
But to be honest, I am kind of happy that we missed the earlier ferries.
Buttons and I had a quiet lunch and had the whole 3 hours to ourselves,
we play badminton by the pool, sat around and chit chat,
and even went for a dip in the pool even though he didn’t bring his swimming trunks!
Hahahaha.

Thank god we missed the ferry.
I love my Buttons.

What is your name?

November 13th, 2009 by sixpegs

I chanced upon an article online regarding names.
I’m sure almost everyone will go through a phase in life where one will totally hate one’s own name.
Well, I can’t say this happens to all people but I sure felt this way
when this “Bookworm Auntie” came to my primary school when I was 9,
and told the whole school at the Wednesday morning assembly performance that her name is Auntie Peggy!

Really felt like dying then.

I have been called names throughout my whole childhood and teenhood as well.
And I’m sure it’s not hard to guess what they call me – PIGGY.
Peggy do sound like Piggy, and it even looks like Piggy.

Picture 4

When I was a teen, I would go find out what my name means too.
Some of the names has the most beautiful meanings.
Like for instance, Amanda means she is “fit to be loved” or “lovable”.

Unfortunately my name doesn’t have one of these beautiful definitions, Peggy is known as the nickname of “Margaret”.
And basically it means pearl.
When I hear the name Margaret, I can only think of Margaret Thatcher.
And you should know how kids always link pearls to being old and gray!
So since young, I have never really liked my name.

I googled a little and found a few studies and discussions about sexy names.
I think it is inevitable that everyone will have different impressions on names.
Like for me, Matilda sounds smart. Courtney sounds slutty. Susan sounds old fashioned.
(Sorry if you’re a Matilda, Courtney or Susan!)

So to you, what makes a name sexy?

Weekend getaway for penniless and busy people.

November 13th, 2009 by sixpegs

I just booked a ticket to leave Singapore again.
But this time, it’s just to Batam for one day! Hahaha.

Picture 2

Buttons and I will be spending the one night at Harris Resort.
Initially, we were considering between going Batam or staying a night at Amara Sentosa Singapore.
Did a small poll on Twitter and everyone said I should go Batam instead since it’s cheap and away from the city.
My friend even said “Get out of the country whenever and wherever possible!”
How true. I very much agree!

Thus, we’ll be going TOMORROW!

I have never been to Batam before.
And when I think of Batam, all that comes to mind will be
middle age Singaporean men who go there once a fortnight to visit their “second families”.
I’ve heard some bad and good raves about Harris Resort, but hopefully it won’t turn out as bad as I would have imagined!

Keeping in touch with your taxi uncle.

November 6th, 2009 by sixpegs

I booked a cab to take me to United Square for the spa session today because it was pouring heavily.
After I alighted at my destination, my phone beeped and the message reads -

(anyway, it’s really time to charge my phone! :p)

IMG_0272
I don’t know whether to feel annoyed or amused.

Annoyed because that phone number was given to the driver just in case he need to give me a call when the cab arrives,
not for him to sms me to “keep in touch”!
Or amused, because I now have an awesomely funny experience of “picked up” by taxi uncle.

I have to state clearly though, that I didn’t talk much to the driver on my way to United Square.

Okay, maybe he’s just trying to be friendly. Whatever!

HAHAHAHA!
