It’s Christmas again!
And if you have been here long enough, you will know that I always do up a whole list of blogshops that I love every year.
But for this year, I realized that some of these shops have gotten so good that they shouldn’t be called blogshops anymore!
ONLINE STORES sound like a more appropriate term.

I have rounded up these online stores this festive season for you to have an overview of what you have been missing out!
Each and every one of these stores are handpicked by me
and I think they sure deserve to be called AWESOME in many ways.

So without further ado, here are some of the best online stores for your viewing pleasure!
Merry Christmas, my beloved readers.

ROOM

At first glance, ROOM looks and feels a little different from your usual online retailer or blog shop –simply because it is.

Screen shot 2012-12-21 at PM 06.34.50

The ROOM girl is unapologetically chic and modish, making the latest styles take her further rather than consuming designer fashion right off the runway.

One single piece of clothing may inspire many looks, yet every look is always hers to own.

ROOM for guys is a voice of reason, rationalising trends in ways that fit his existing wardrobe.

Juup Your Nails

July 5th, 2012 by sixpegs

I found a new nail parlour that I absolutely adore!
There are two branches (from what I researched from the internet) and I visited the Somerset branch.
It’s in one of the shophouses just behind TripleOne and it’s really nice to have my nails done away from the crowds!
The best thing is, I get to watch movie while getting my nails done.
Sex and The City, y’all! <3

IMG_4788

I know I am a little slow but I only found out about this gelish polish thing couple weeks ago.
It rocks because I have really weak nails and gelish seem to last really long,
doesn’t hurt my nails like how hard gel nails do.
Check out my nails!

IMG_4787

IMG_4789

The girls recommended bright orange for my toe nails and I’m loving it!
I have to say I am really impressed with the service.
They have a freaking menu for drinks ok! Heh.

IMG_4790

I am in love.

IMG_4799

I like how I have new nail colours to go with the new bracelet & bangle A bought for me!
Look at the bracelet! I like how the chains are all different on one side of the bracelet.
Gorgeous gorgeous.
Thank you sweetie A!

IMG_4798

And so I was saying, this new nail spa I visited really rocks!
Do visit them too if you want to be pampered!

Don’t say I never share ok? Hee.

A was really sweet to send me to Juup and pick me after my nails are done too.
We went to Bugis to get some more lemons and distilled water to get ready for our 3-days detox program!
For your information, I haven’t had any food for 30 over hours when the pictures above were taken.
I know the benefits about regular detoxing but I haven’t really tried doing proper detox before.
And after hearing A rave about this detox thing she tried, I decided to give it a try too!

This is the haven’t-eaten-for-one-day face.

IMG_4793

It was really hard trying to keep my face away from the food and after detoxing for a grand total of almost 50 hours,
I caved.
And instead of easing my body into eating regular food again, I had fast food.
Detox fail.
I shall try again 2 weeks later and see if I can do it for 3 days straight.

OK moving on.
A and I went back to Pepperoni Pizzeria for dinner earlier because I was having some massive pizza craving!
This place holds a lot of memories for us because it’s one of the few places we went when we first started.
I love the food here – the pizza, the chicken wings, the squid ink pasta, the calamari.
And the huge variety of beer here never fails to seduce me.
It was pretty dark and crowded so I didn’t manage to get proper pictures.

Please do not be alarmed if you think you saw a face in the picture above.
It’s just the reflection of a drawing from the adjacent wall. Heh!

There are also crayons on the table for the guests to kill some time while waiting for the food.
You can also see lots of cute doodles all over the walls in the restaurant’s interior.
Very cute!

IMG_4803

IMG_4808

IMG_4807

This is A’s face when she ask if I “want to add a calamari to our order”.
Hahahaha! We weren’t even supposed to eat proper food right after the detox!
Tsk.
(But yes we went ahead with the calamari anyway!)

IMG_4805

And random camwhore shot.
Is it me or is that hand on chin pose very passe and auntie? :x

IMG_4806

AND THE FOOD!
GLORIOUS OH GLORIOUS FOOD! <3

We ordered a Parma Ham & Rocket Salad 9″ Pizza.
It’s so orgasmically good!

IMG_4810

IMG_4811

I actually like the crust of this pizza!
Who the hell likes to eat pizza crust! So you can imagine how good the rest of the pizza taste.
Pepperoni Pizzeria is also well known for their chicken wings!
A little spicy and very crispy.
I thought I heard it still sizzling when it arrived at our table.

IMG_4812

IMG_4813

The calamari was just as good!
I guess you can tell with one look that it’s different from the regular calamari you eat outside.

IMG_4814

The two girls are very happy after a hearty meal!
Sorry for the blur photo. Heh.

IMG_4816

And a few random pictures of A and the kitties.
Can’t believe this girl is with me. :*)

OK. I would like to end this post with something that made me pissed and amused at the same time.
I came to know about this person’s blog from my website’s comment system.
Apparently, the system seem to be able to track a pingback of some sort.
Alright you have to pardon me because I’m actually really bad with such things.

The point is, this certain Belle Soong person took my 365 Post and made it her own!

NOTE: I tried to go back to her website to get the direct link to show you guys but it’s made private now.

LUCKILY I TOOK SCREEN SHOTS JUST NOW AH!!!!!

Screen shot 2012-07-04 at PM 11.55.41

“I know it’s way overdue, this is the only time I have to pen it out”
I didn’t know COPY+PASTE can take up so much of your time!
My mom has a saying “拿人家的屁股做脸皮” – I think I know what it means now.

Honestly, if you like what I wrote,
or if you REALLY FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME AS HOW I FELT, at least credit the post?
AND OF ALL POSTS, YOU PICKED THIS POST?!

Do you know how much this post meant to me?
If you look at my original post, you’ll realize that you cannot scroll and copy because those are pictures.
This girl actually bothered to TYPE THEM OUT!
Belle, I thought you say you got no time to “pen it out”, how you find the time to copy and type ah!

*angry*

“Like Winnie to the Pooh”.
What on earth are you trying to say?
And what is “more to mostest”!
Why you anyhow change my stuff when you don’t even understand what I’m saying.

OK, but I gotta give it to her because she did read through my stuff and did the appropriate editing.

A’s 5 habits that I adore.
Obviously one of the habits doesn’t really make sense to her because she only copied 4.

Screen shot 2012-07-04 at PM 11.57.03

Belle oh Belle.
Why did you choose to plagiarize and WHY this post?
The contents in this post was only meant for A and I didn’t even want to put them up in my blog in the first place.
You don’t look like someone who needs to plagiarize to be able to write something nice on your website girl.

Set Yourself on Fire

June 22nd, 2012 by sixpegs

Screen shot 2012-06-22 at PM 06.34.00

WHEN THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO BURN, YOU HAVE TO SET YOURSELF ON FIRE.

I’m here today to introduce this amazing album from Stars that I’m hopelessly addicted to.
The first song I heard from this album is the track called Calendar Girl.
After hearing that this Indie band has many other songs that is worth a listen,
I checked out their third album named “Set Yourself On Fire” and I was blown away!

The songs in the album is all about love and life.
Pretty much brings us through the different stages of life and of a relationship.
Here are some of the songs that I particularly love.

“Your Ex-Lover is Dead” is about meeting an ex-lover again after a long time.
I like how they described every emotion through small details.
Here are the lyrics to the song:

God, that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, “Yes, I think we’ve met before”
In that instant it started to pour

Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you couldn’t got in
And now you’re outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It’s nothing but time and a face that you’ll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn’t choose
I’ll write you a postcard, I’ll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love

Live through this and you won’t look back
Live through this and you won’t look back
Live through this and you won’t look back

There’s one thing I have to say so I’ll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I’m not sorry I met you
I’m not sorry it’s over
I’m not sorry there’s nothing to save
I’m not sorry there’s nothing to save

“The Big Fight” is another song that caught my attention with its addictive melody and intriguing lyrics.
It’s a duet between the two parties in the relationship, both torn about their breakup.
It reflects a lot on the real-life situations many of us are, or were once in.
Breakup with strings attached.
It’s always hard to get over the issues that causes the relationship to crumple.

“One More Night” is about break up sex.
She loves and hates him.
Is she really making love because of love or because of the memories they once shared?
How does one make love knowing it will be the last time?
I took the liberty of doing a cover of this beautiful song.
Haunting and so raw. I love this song.

“Calendar Girl” is the song that led me to the band.
This song is all about surviving everything life puts one through and finding oneself.
I did a cover for this too! Hope you like it.

Before you die from bleeding ears, here is “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” by Stars.
TGIF and have a great weekend ahead!

Peace xx

Aglio Olio Recipe

June 14th, 2012 by sixpegs

A and I has been experimenting with our Aglio Olio recipe for the last couple months.
We tried a few times and I think we have finally perfected our very own Aglio Olio!
And since we are not selfish people and we love to share, here is the recipe for you to try too!

I called it Aileen’s recipe because she invented it! Hahaha.

Screen shot 2012-06-13 at PM 10.03.36
IMG_8615

Other than the usual tomato or cream-base pasta, this is another one of the few common pasta we find in cafes.
This is also my favourite pasta of all time because it’s a healthier choice and it’s so tasty!
But like what many says, the simpler the dish, the harder it is to perfect it.
It is such a simple pasta traditionally made with just olive oil and garlic,
but there are still so many restaurants out there which would screw it up.
This is our rendition of Aglio Olio and I hope you will enjoy it as much as us!

Here are some of the ingredients you need.

ONE

Other than the usual garlic and olive oil, we also used thyme, pepper, chilli padi and chicken stock cubes.
We also used angel hair pasta because we think it tasted best prepared Aglio Olio style.

IMG_8586

IMG_8573

Screen shot 2012-06-13 at PM 10.07.20

ONE

Chop garlic into thin slices.
It would be great if you could slice them into even thickness so that the frying would be easier,
and you won’t get occasional burnt pieces.

IMG_8584

TWO

Simultaneously, you can also prepare the pasta.
Boil them in a pot of water with a cube of chicken stock.
You can also use salt if you prefer.
Cook it to Al Dante – for spaghetti, you can check by looking at the tip of the pasta.
There should be a little white (uncooked) dot in the middle of the spaghetti.
As for angel hair, the pasta is a little too thin so we need to cook “by feel”. Heh!

IMG_8589

THREE

Oil the pan with some olive oil.
Do control the heat so that the oil is not sizzling.
Throw in the garlic and stir fry them until they are slightly softer.
Be sure not to fry them until they are too brown if not they will start to taste bitter.

Throw in a cube of chicken stock and fry them together.

IMG_8591

IMG_8598

FOUR

Throw in the chilli padi and continue stirring.
You can also put in a tablespoonful or two of the water you used to boil the pasta to give it a velvety finish.

IMG_8600

FIVE

Throw in the prawns and continue stirring.
We used frozen cooked prawns so it’s easier for us.
If you are using raw prawns, you will have to boil the prawns for a while before frying the prawns.

IMG_8601

SIX

Pour olive oil into the pan generously when the frying it almost done.
Stir well and make sure the chicken stock cube is well dissolved.
Also throw in the thyme and pepper to taste.

IMG_8604

TIME TO SERVE!

IMG_8603

IMG_8608

We added a little ebiko onto the top of the pasta to add a bit of color!
The ebiko adds a nice crunch to every mouthful of the noodles too.
TASTY!

IMG_8612

Hope you like our little recipe.

It’s healthy and so easy to make!

New Smiles

May 15th, 2012 by sixpegs

I am excited about this entry because I get to introduce a place I went to get the perfect smile!
I have always been not very confident with my teeth, especially the upper row because I have a gap between my two front teeth.
The ends of the two front teeth are jagged, and my teeth are really small.
I’m too used to chewing food on the right side of my mouth, so the right incisor and canine teeth are worn too.
My horrible teeth-grinding habit (bruxism) when I sleep is not helpful towards the worn teeth too.
As a result, the loss in enamel has caused my teeth to be sensitive as well.

Here are a few photos of my teeth to give you a better picture.
Sorry for the weird faces in the photos. Heh!

P1011609

P1012537

So during my short stay in Bangkok, A and I watched some videos from the show “Style By Jury”.
Those people did WONDERS with veneers, crowns and whitening work and the results were absolutely amazing!
I really love the Style By Jury show by the way!
Here are a couple clips for you to watch too!


A and I decided that it’s worth a shot to visit one of the dentists in Bangkok to see check how much porcelain veneers costs.
And so, after much online researching, we made our way to Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic the very next day!
The clinic got two branches and both are super near our hotels! Damn happy.

It was really SO MUCH cheaper than Singapore, we paid probably like 20% to 30% of what
we will have to pay if we did the same thing in Singapore!

At our first appointment, we wanted to do the usual scaling and polishing, and ask a little more about the veneers.
But the price and service was really impressive and we decided there and then
that we will just go ahead with the extra dental work!
The best thing is, they promised that the entire process will be completed within 5 days!
I’m sure if there wasn’t a Labour Day public holiday, it would have been even faster!
Impressive impressive.

IMG_0918

I did the consultation and was disappoint to know that I am not a suitable candidate for porcelain veneers
because the bruxism has already caused my natural teeth to wear off.
So she recommended me to crowns, which is somewhat similar to veneers but slightly more invasive.
A, on the other hand, did her veneers.
And both of us did teeth whitening! :B

Their teeth whitening service is fucking amazing!
I think it’s called some Zoom! Whitening thing, and it’s much stronger than what I did in Singapore couple years back.
The teeth REALLY got so much whiter! Even I got a shock!

As for the crown, we got a mold of our teeth taken. Here is mine!
Look at those ugly teeth on my upper row! :x

IMG_0913

IMG_0914

Veneers are basically just a porcelain layer placed on the outer surface of your natural teeth.
A little part of your teeth will be shaved off so that the teeth will not be too thick after the veneers go on them.

Screen shot 2012-05-15 at PM 08.43.18

As for crowns, it is almost similar except that the porcelain will be shaped like a cap instead of just a outer layer.
These give more protection and are tougher compared to veneers,
but it is more invasive because more enamel has to be shaved off the teeth.

Screen shot 2012-05-15 at PM 08.43.24

There is local anesthesia injected into the gums during the shaving of the teeth so it was pretty much painless.
Even after the anesthesia wore off, there is practically not much pain but there is slightly bruising.
AND THE LIPS ARE SWOLLEN MAN!

This is me right after the treatment.
My upper lips is greeeeennnnnnn and purpleeeee! Ohmygod.

IMG_0902

IMG_0901

And beware! The ugliest photo I will show on my post.
Brace your eyes!
SWOLLEN LIPS!

IMG_0903

The swelling made my whole fucking face swell like a pig’s head! :(
But because there wasn’t much pain, I decided not to waste my time in Bangkok so we continued shopping.
Lol.
I am so glad I am in Bangkok and not in Singapore because I don’t wanna walk around looking like Piggy here!

But of course, after the dentist shaved off the enamel, she didn’t leave me walking around with my ULTRA-SENSITIVE tiny teeth.
I had temporary crowns done up for me.
But I had such a huge shock when I saw the colour of my gum man!
It’s grey and purple!
*might look a little gross*

IMG_0907

OK, another freaking hideous photo of me right after the dental appointment.

IMG_3536

This is the pose I have every time I’m seated somewhere, in an attempt to hide my sexy lips.
Hahahahaha.

IMG_0900

The dentist instructed me to do a lot of cold compression for the first two days to reduce the swelling.
And by the third day onwards, I have to do hot compressions to increase blood flow, to ease the bruising.

IMG_0909

I had the temporary crowns for about 3 days and I was thrilled when it’s finally my turn to get the permanent crowns on!
SO SO EXCITED ABOUT IT!
But I was really worried at the same time because I needed another round of anesthesia.
Sucks man.

When the 2 hour appointment ended, I was so happy!
It was all worth it!
These are some pictures taken on the same day the permanent crowns are put on.

I LOVE MY PERFECT STRAIGHT WHITE TEETH!

IMG_0908

IMG_0919

IMG_3420

IMG_3539

IMG_0911

Our teeth are SO SO white! Now I cannot stop smiling to myself. Hahaha!

For Aileen, her concern about her teeth was the little naughty tooth that was pushed backwards and not aligned with the rest.
So she corrected it with 8 veneers on the upper row.
This is how she look like before the veneers.

IMG_3328

The procedures for veneers was much simpler and the swelling was much lesser than mine as well.
She still look very pretty even with her swollen upper lips. Heh!

IMG_0916

And this is her teeth after her veneers are completed!
Gorgeous!

IMG_0912

IMG_0910

I like how the teeth look so natural!
My mom didn’t even realize I did something to my teeth only until a week after I returned from Bangkok.
Hahahaha.
The teeth looks and feels exactly the same as my natural teeth and my bite was not affected a single bit.
I like how both my canine teeth are pointy again and they look symmetrical again!
The two worn off teeth has been re-constructed too and I can smile big big again now!
I LOVE IT!

This is the BEFORE/AFTER picture:

IMG_3538

The lighting of the picture above wasn’t very consistent.
I have to emphasize that my teeth has become so much whiter, as white as the sclera of my eyes now!

IMG_3473

IMG_3543

My gums are pink and healthy now.
The teeth look so natural nobody would even know those are crowns if I don’t tell!
Strong and healthy teeth is so so precious.
Hope you guys are not too turned off by the swollen face and purple gums photos!

Some of you might wonder if veneers and crowns are permanent.
Well, according to what I understand and found from the research,
the most common for the crowns and veneers failing is tooth decay.
In fact, poor hygiene practices are the main culprits for unhealthy teeth.
So with proper care, and that also includes not biting ice and not using teeth as bottle openers,
these porcelain veneers and crowns have the potential to last a lifetime!

LIKE the post to let me know if you like our new smiles! :D
I was so excited to share my experience with you guys, very happy now! Hahaha.
And if you have any questions at all, feel free to shoot!

Will be back with the last entry of my Bangkok trip in a jiffy.
Peace xx

Dim Sum @ Thomson

April 22nd, 2012 by sixpegs

Before I begin on my newfound Dim Sum haunt at Upper Thomson Road, let me show you my iPad case!
I’ve been looking around for the perfect iPad case after I bought my new toy but to no avail.
Then A and I decided, “Why not make it ourselves!”

So, here is our very own iPad case!

IMG_0073

We started out with the doing paper mache for one full night!
And to make sure the surface is not too bumpy, we sticked cardboards onto the bumpy surfaces.
And picked a fabric we like from Chinatown!

IMG_2935

IMG_2936

We also pasted a piece of magnet on one of the sides.

IMG_2937

IMG_2938

We also bought iron on alphabets! Velvety ones. I love it!

IMG_2939

IMG_2940

The insides of the case was made with oil painting paper.

IMG_2941

IMG_2943

The black elastic band can also make sure the case is snug when closed.

IMG_2942

And ironed on “P”! I know it’s crooked.
Make me very angry! Damn.

IMG_2972

We are still looking for a black tape to paste on the spine to give it an old school notebook feel.
I love our one and only iPad case! :)

xxx

A also brought me to this dim sum place at Upper Thomson Road.
According to her, this place has very high hits and ratings online so we decided to check it out!

The eating place is pretty old and run down.
But if you ask me, it does has its own charms.

IMG_2944

IMG_2949

IMG_2945

IMG_2946

They serve zichar and dim sum at this place. The menu is pretty extensive!
This time round, we only had enough space in our tummies for dim sum.
The dim sum counter is pretty old school and Hong Kong style with all the food laid out for you to pick.

IMG_2948

IMG_2947

One of the highly recommended item is the duck porridge from the zichar stall!

IMG_2950

IMG_2951

Here are some of the dishes we ordered.
I swear they taste better than it looks! :D”
*mouth-watering*

IMG_2952

IMG_2953

IMG_2956

IMG_2954

IMG_2955

The prices are very affordable and reasonable too.
It can get pretty crowded during dinner times and this whole stretch of road got lots of other nice food too!
I’m so jealous of those people who stay around Thomson. *sulks*

After dinner, we moved on to Salted Caramel which is just a couple doors down.
A told me she wanted to bring me for some salted ice cream. Haha!
This place is pretty awesome!
They are pretty new and they had the balls to set up the store right next to Udders.
Can you imagine the confidence they have in their products? :p

[Thanks to readers Shirlynn and S, it was Udders who set up their shop next to theirs! Haha!]

We tried, and indeed, it was fantastic! They had more customers than Udders when we were there!

IMG_2957

IMG_2958

IMG_2959

IMG_2960

IMG_2968

Other than ice cream, they serve other things like beverages and cakes too.

IMG_2961

IMG_2962

And my favourite, ICE CREAM!

IMG_2964

IMG_2963

The flavour I picked, Salted Caramel!

IMG_2965

The flavour is very unique, a little salty (but still sweet).
Normally caramel would be crazy sweet but this one is totally perfect!
You just need to add another 50 cents for an ice cream cone.

IMG_2969

If you like their ice cream, you can do takeaways too!
Their takeaway packs are so cute!

IMG_2966
IMG_2967

Will be back to bring you more nice hideouts and interesting stuff!
Have a good week ahead friends :)
