2012 is coming and as I try to make space in my life to usher in the new year,
I decided to clear off some clothes that I hardly wear now so they can be brought to life again elsewhere.
These clothes are in pretty good condition and I hope they will find better owners!

This Little Black Dress is stretchable at the shoulder and bottom part so you can wear it this two ways.
It’s made of cotton material.
$22

♥

I love this black and white dress but my hips said NO.
It comes with two pockets and the design is really interesting.
I think it’ll look really cute if you pair it with nice colourful sneakers or cute sandals.
Brand new.
$26

♥

Soft denim material maxi dress.
This dress is very flattering for the berdangdangs. Heh.
$22

♥

Trenchcoat from ZARA.
Never wore it out of the house before. Boo.
Super good material and suitable for moderately clod climates.
$65

♥

Beige asymmetrical dress that will look super cute on a skinny girl but not me.
I love this dress but it doesn’t love me.
I hope it will find a better owner. Sobs.
Never been worn out of the house too.
$22

♥

Super hot stuff minidress/top from Topshop.
The material of this dress is great and the dress is really pretty.
It might be a little too short to be worn as a dress.
I suggest wearing it with leggings or tuck it into pants.

[Yes I know you can see my hot pink undies]
$35

♥

I think this dress is too cute to be left neglected in a wardrobe.
I used to wear this out to events whenever I wanna feel quirky and fun.
Hope it will make you feel quirky and whimsical too!
$25

♥

50 years ago, who would have thought Granny-looking vintage skirts would be in fashion again someday?
Only managed to wear this skirt once. Let me know if you like it.
The material is very good, don’t have to iron at all even after washes.
$20

♥

I have this in mustard and royal blue.
Decided to give up the blue one to another girl who loves blue. Heh!
$24

♥

Black chiffon material mini dress. Not translucent.
Adventurous girls can try wearing it as a dress. Or pair it up with stockings with interesting prints to look fun!
$24

♥

There are like 4 to 5 ways to wear this jacket, just need to play around with the buttons.
Brand new from Taiwan.
$40

Feel free to drop me an email [sixpegs@gmail.com] if you’re interested in any of the pieces.
Please add $1 for postage.

After I took the pictures of the items I’d like to let go of,
I lazed around on my bed and realized I haven’t really shared how my room looks like after I did a little redecoration.
Thus, I shall just have a short virtual tour to bring you around my room today! :p

I think my room says a lot about me.
I have never been the pink, frills and laces kind of girl, but I think my room has a lot of character.
Hahahaha. I know, shameless.

This is a picture wall at the side of my bed.
Similar to another 40% of Singaporeans, I buy my picture frames from IKEA. Cheap and good!
I visited them few days ago and realized they have these small black frames now.
When I bought mine, they only had them in birch and I had to paint my frames black. Tsk.

The pictures in the frames are from everywhere, but they are basically all things that I love.
I’ve got some portraits of myself and some nice pictures from Henri Cartier-Bresson, a famous French B&W photographer I adore.
There are also some pictures I took during a B&W photography class I took when I was in NTU,
and of course, pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.

And to make sure my room doesn’t look like a dark room, I had to put a little bit of colours in it.
I love pop art, posters, paintings, doodles and little knick knacks.
So here is a little corner where I can lay out all the little stuff I love.
The two glass bottles used to hold two fishes, but they died couple weeks back.
So I guess they will just hold flowers whenever I’m in the mood for fresh flowers in my room.

Here are some of my accessories.
I love chunky pieces and they are much easier to manage because they don’t get tangled together as much. Heh!
I just dump them into this glass jar like that.
Sadly, they collect dust easily, but I love how it looks!
I love the scented candle from Crabtree too!

My humble little perfume collection.
I never believed in just having/using one bottle of perfume before changing to the next one.
Because our noses will get immune to a certain scent over time (this may cause us to go a little too heavy on the perfume too)
and I think using different scents to accentuate different moods is important!
I love perfumes!

Books corner!
I hardly read, to be honest.
So the books that I own are mostly picture books or books with little words and many pictures,
or books with words in big fonts. Hahaha.
I love The Sartorialist and PostSecrets, especially the latter.
I never knew reading someone else’s secrets can be so therapeutic and comforting sometimes.
Do check out the PostSecret website if you’re free, they update every Sunday.
I call them the Sunday Secrets.

I love my journal (the one in blue) too.
At the front, it reads “Fuck you and your blog”.
I bought it to write things I can never write in my blog.
Haven’t had the chance to write much in it though.
Will get down to it soon.

This is a picture A drew for me.
Ok, she didn’t really draw per say. It is a doodle done by one of my favourite doodlist, Gemma Correll.
It’s really cute!
I love the pink frame I bought from Europe too. Got it at a bargain, only 5 euros!

This is my cameras corner where I dump all the camwhore equipments.
Polaroids, films and stuff.
I love my Stupid Little Coins coinbank too! A has a same one at home as well.
I also have Playdoh. Yes it’s mine. Hahaha!
I do take them out to knead and play when I’m feeling childish. I’m weird like that.

I bought these lights from IKEA last Christmas.
(They are selling them again now for Christmas!)
They are not only pretty lights but also awesome bangle holders!

This is the metal cabinet where I keep all my bags.
But what’s so special about it is how it is filled with perverted poems on it.
A and I bought this two tins of “magnetic words” where you can form poems and other stuff with.
The two boxes we bought were like love and naughty poems or something. Hahaha!
We had a lot of fun playing with them.
If you’re interested, I think you can get them at The Cathay Level 3.
One of those shops where they rent out shelves for people to put their stuff to sell.

This is a colorful wheel I took without permission from some eating place.
My room’s private stolen rainbow.

And last but not least, my beautiful Marilyn Monroe clock from Molecule.
This clock is absolutely gorgeous but it gives me the creeps on certain nights.
I don’t know if you can see this but when you look at her face,
you can sometimes see her eyebrows and eyes forming another pair of bigger eyes that has no iris and pupil.
Creeps me out at night sometimes.

Maybe I think too much.
Hahaha.

I’ll be helping Aiyo with photoshoot for her blogshop tomorrow!
I’m the photographer, not the model. YAY!
I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun.

On a sidenote, A is ill and I hope she gets well soon.
Flu bug, give my girlfriend back to me!

Before I begin, let me wish everyone not-very-on-time but definitely not late…

I hope you guys all had a fantastic Christmas celebration over the weekend!
I had a lot of fun meeting up with my friends and A as well! :)

Auntie Connie dropped by Singapore from Taiwan for some personal matters and we managed to catch her over dinner at ION.
The traffic in town was totally crazy though!
I guess everyone was rushing to town to do last minute Christmas shopping when we were there,
and we were stuck in non-moving traffic in Orchard area for a good 20 to 30 minutes before we could get into the carpark!

This is what a frustrated driver looks like. Haha!

ION is one of my favourite place to be!
I used to refuse to visit ION when it first opened because everyone was raving about it.
And me being me, I like to deliberately go against everyone. Hahahaha!
But I think I go to ION more than any other places in town now.
A and I always take such stupid pictures at the escalators in ION. :p

Auntie Connie was this super nice lady who brought A and I everywhere in Taipei the last time we were there.
She is still the same, super bubbly and energetic! Heh.
We had dinner at Taste Paradise at ION Level 4.
It was my first time there and I’m really blown away by how pretty the food is and how good they taste!
Chinese fine dining! (Basically, everything with a big plate and little bit of food is fine dining to me. Hahaha!)
Two thumbs up for their food! :D
Here is me with Auntie Connie and A’s family.

I don’t know what you think but I think the four siblings don’t look like each other at all.
Maybe A looks a little like her elder brother (in white), that’s all. :p
If you wanna check out Taste Paradise, it’s at ION Level 4.
You can call them at 6509 9660 for reservations before you head there!

Speaking of A’s Mom, she also baked a super nice log cake for me this Christmas!
But because we don’t do any Christmas celebrations at home, I brought the cake to our gathering at Rossie’s place.
Look at the pretty cake Auntie Susan made for me! She told me the Santa Claus is holding a big bag of money for me.
HUAT AH! Hahahaha!

A and I also made meatloaf for the doggies for Christmas!
I think it was a big success because even A wants to eat the meatloaf (and she stole quite a bit to eat).
It’s made from minced pork, celery, potatoes, carrot, oatmeal and lots of love!
This is the one I made for Maliboo. B for Boo! :D

I had to REALLY HOLD HER DOWN and settle her before I could get a picture of her and the Christmas meatloaf we made.
Tried to make her look up but to no avail. Heh!
She REALLY loves the meatloaf and couldn’t stop munching away once I told her she could go for it!

And… our new friend, Poppy!
Poppy is Rossie’s baby all the way from the States!
According to Rossie’s hubby, Roy, Poppy is an ABCD.
American Born Chinese Dog.
HAHAHAHAHA! Very creative indeed. :p

We made a “P” meatloaf for Poppy too and she absolutely loved it!
I think A and I can make it a sideline and make meatloaf for all the furballs in Singapore!
Our meatloaf rocks! :B

Sindy and Tingkang weren’t around for the gathering because they went on an escapade to KL for Christmas.
Better join us next year, Sinsin!

♥

Cut log cake time!
Everyone must take turn to pose with the cake. Haha!

This is our 神雕侠侣 cut cake pose. HAHAHA!

We also met up earlier for our midweek girlfriends loving session! ♥
This is the first time after Rossie got back then we managed to have a meetup where everyone was present!
SO MUCH LOVE! It was just like the old times, as if Rossie never left for 2 years at all.

A came along with me and we were bumming around before we met up with them at Bugis Junction.
She also accompanied me to get my new iPhone 4S!
I know it’s a little slow but I’m thrilled to finally have a new phone because my current iPhone 4 is totally screwing up!
The HOME button is cranky and the button on top needs a lot of strength to be pushed.
The iPhone only have 2 main buttons and both of the buttons on my phone is spoilt.
CAN YOU IMAGINE?!

Ok, enough whining.
(Back at home), me and my new iPhone 4S! ♥
Oh! I switched to Singtel too! Hee.

MUCH LOVE!!

That’s me and A on the way to Bugis.

And my look of the day! I love the Beatles Tee I bought from Bangkok couple years back.
I’m never much of a t-shirt fan but this has got to be one of the cutest t-shirts I own!
“We all live in the Yellow Submarine~”

A’s office is at Bugis so we swung by her office to grab some stuff.
That’s us camwhoring in front of the lift!

Then when we were downstairs, the lift door suddenly opened when I was taking a shot.
The photo turned out to be super funny!
It looks like A was making that random guy’s hair! HAHAHA.

Dinner was at 南翔馒头店 in Bugis Junction.
I heard about 南翔’s supposedly very good xiao long baos but that was my first time here.
The shop is quite cute! I like how they used the bamboo baskets as lights!

Food was really yummy too!
Freaking love the Drunken Chicken cold dish! One of my usual dishes at a Chinese restaurant! Yums.

This thing doesn’t look appetizing in pictures but A totally loves it!
Salted egg yolk with prawns! :D”

And us! :D

Can I just say, I’m SO happy to have met my girlfriends!
I love them so much! ♥

We then did some shopping and wound up in TCC for some coffee before we called it a day.

Then they said the guys from Beatles on my tee look a little uncomfortable because they were stretched by my boobs.
Didn’t know my near non-existence boobs can stretch Ringo Star’s face too. Hahaha!

*SUPER TAK GLAM*

Shall end off tonight’s post with the much-missed toilet camwhoring-with-girlfriends pictures!
So happy A hit it off well with the girls too!
YAY! HAPPY DAY! *big grin*

Can’t wait to hang out with everyone again on NYE at A’s place!
:D

28 days later, no zombies will be coming for you.
But Chinese New Year will be here! ♥
This year is a little special for me because it’s the first time I tried doing New Year goodies!
I know you’re probably still basking in the whole Christmas mood, but hey,
better start preparing for Chinese New Year because it’s just less than one month to go!

Here are some pictures I took when we did some of the cookies.
A’s Mommy is totally awesome when it comes to cooking and specially talented when it comes to baking!
Here is how the usual New Year Pineapple Rolls are made.

We also prepared some Pineapple Tarts!
I didn’t know there is so much work put into these little tarts.
Normally I just pop them into my mouth one by one, but so much time is put into making every one of them!
According to A’s Mom, the pineapple filling is made from fresh pineapples and
they need to be cooked for a long time before it’s ready.

The Pineapple Rolls and Pineapple Tarts taste a little different.
The rolls are somewhat softer and the tarts are crispy!
For me, I’d very much prefer the Pineapple Rolls!

We also made Spicy Prawn Cookies!
The dough is made with curry leaves, good quality dried shrimps and other ingredients.
This is actually invented by A’s Mom and it’s really super good!
If you like the usual mini popiah haybeehiam snack, this would be 20 times better!

Oh those are actually rice crisps on the cookie, super crispy! :)

We actually formed a production line in A’s kitchen while doing the cookies and I thought we looked quite funny.
A, her brother, Mom, maid and myself all got down to work and got busy making the cookies.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes:

A’s favourite is making these Pineapple Tarts with funny shapes on them.
One of it has a snowman on it, but the snowman look like a pile of poop. Heh! :p

If you looking at getting some Chinese New Year goodies for your family and probably your partner’s family,
you can consider getting them from Aileen’s Mommy!

Other than being super yummy, these goodies are made with FRESH and great quality ingredients
because her Mom is such a perfectionist when it comes to food.
She’s been doing this for many years and the customers always come back year after year after they have tried her cookies.
There is always more customers than the year before so if you wanna get some, better order soon!
No preservatives are added to the cookies so it’s best if you finish the cookies within 3 to 4 weeks.

Here are some of the cookies available for you this year!

 

 

There is only THAT much cookies Auntie Susan can make so if you wanna get your goodies, do order soon ♥

Delivery is free for orders $200 and above.
Get a few for home, a few for office and a few for your boyfriend and it’ll be around $200 before you know it!
Alternatively, you can simply top up $10 for delivery to your doorstep.
For those who wants to do self collection, collection points are at Gambir Walk or MacPherson area.
Do allow 5 days to one week for cookies to be prepared.
Feel free to email or call Susan to find out more!

Before I begin on the post, I apologize for my addiction to my pageboy hat.
But I think it goes go well for this dress I received from I Wear Sin.
I think this place would be great for people looking for party dresses and even clothes for the upcoming Chinese New Year!

Thank you to I Wear Sin and the many other sponsors and readers who have continuously supported me throughout this year.
For me, 2011 has been such an eventful year.
Like how I will always have a blog entry to round up every year, I shall have a simple one for 2011 as well.

♥

The first time I curled my hair

This is the first time I curled my hair.
I know it’s kind of dumb to start of a list with such an item. :p
But well, I really miss those short curled hair now!

♥

The first article in a magazine about my website

This blog has been around for about 7 years now.
Being a person who has been writing in diaries for the longest time, my blog is one of my most prized possession.
It is more than a journal, but also a place where I document everything that once made me smile and tear.

♥

Amazing colleagues from JobsCentral

It was my first job and I left the company in late May this year.
From there, I not only gained so much fun and experience but also wonderful friendships.
Michelle, Colin, Ai Jia, Farhan and many more were such great company and friends.

♥

Another wonderful year with my beloved girlfriends

Sindy, Lianie and Aiyo have never left my sight and are always around me when I needed them.
I’m glad another year has passed and we are still as tightly knitted as before.
I love you girls.

♥

Another of my best friend got hitched!

Ting Kang proposed to Sindy and she said YES!
I cannot describe how happy I was for dear Sindy.
They will be having their wedding next year and I can’t wait to be there to witness it.

♥

Rossie is finally back!

After 2 and a half years in USA, Rossie and Roy are finally back in Singapore for good.
They also brought adorable Poppy back!
Don’t leave us again, Ros!

♥

More travelling

This year, I went to a total of 7 trips and visited 4 new places!
Within this year, I also saw 4 amazing architectural marvels – Angkor Wat, The Great Wall, Eiffel Tower and Colosseo.
It was also the first time I travelled alone with Mommy.
I’m sure there will be more to come.

♥

Aileen

This year, Aileen happened.
This is the first time I have a girlfriend and the first time I am so comfortable in my own skin and proud of what I am doing.
She is my best friend and soul mate.

♥

Grandma left us

Although there is never a day that I wish she was still around to laugh with us and watch us grow,
I am sure she is in a better place now and we will meet again someday.

2011 is coming to an end.
And whether the world ends in 2012 or not, I strive to work hard and to love everyday like it’s the last.
And to cherish everything and everyone around me when I still have the chance.
We all should!
