This week has finally came to an end, for most people at least.
But me.. *sob sob* I’ve got an event to attend to over the weekend and I’m not exactly looking forward to it.
I’ve gotta be at the Yellow Ribbon Run on Sunday! *wails*
Well, the good thing is that the whole Yellow Ribbon is an awesome project & it’s only right that I support it. (Being politically correct)
But the bad thing is – I NEED TO BE AT CHANGI PRISON AT 7AM ON SUNDAY!
Oh my god. Fuck my life.
ANYWAYS, that aside, everything has been rather good for me.
I signed up for a yoga package at PURE Yoga (this is not an ad!) & I’m really loving it!
I’m sure you guys will ask me how much it costs, so I’ll just say it first – $164 per month.
I’m already in my 3rd week there and I really find it very enjoyable.
Heard from the people around me who have yoga memberships that
it’s highly possible that I’ll get lazy once I go into my 3rd or 4th month.
But I shall be determined and not let that happen to me! *focused*
I wanna tone up and look healthy and slim again!
Really breaks me to realize that I don’t look as good in my old dresses anymore. Boohoo!
Speaking of dresses, here’s a pressie from Challures.
I love it because it makes my boobs look big and hides my larger-than-life backside.
Well that aside, I’m looking forward to my year-end Beijing trip with Buttons
and a possible Indonesia sponsored trip later this month!
It’s always good to be able to get out of the country for some quality fun and unwinding. Heh!
Hope it all works out and I’ll be well on my way seeing the world one stop at a time again. :)
Am especially looking forward to visit Beijing because I’ve never been to China and I’ve always wanted to be there.
Buttons will be there for classes and it’s gonna be really cool to tag along,
and save on accommodation! *auntie mode*
The Indonesia trip is still in discussion so I’m not sure if things are confirmed yet
but am definitely hoping it’ll be made possible.
This is just a short update, I’ve gotta head down to Changi Prison for some work tomorrow,
and I better be sleeping soon. :’(
Oh!! Here’s a shoutout to all ladies who love flea markets!
There will be a flea at Supperclub next Saturday (11th September) & I’ll be getting a booth there as well!
Will be selling away lots of my old dresses at discounted prices! :D
There will be couple other blogger like the pretty Beatrice and gorgeous Qingqing as well.
Make a date with me and be there okay! <3
Goodnight and will be back with more updates and photos soon!
Hello everybody, it’s Thursday night.
Let’s put our palms together in front of our hearts and say “Thank You”.
Hahahaha!
Yay. It’s another week coming to an end and I’m very excited.
I’ve got nothing planned for the weekend but the mere thought of being able to sleep in till late thrills me.
Come Friday, come!!
Will update with a bigger post soon! Am still looking for some quality fun.
P.S. My mother calls Skype “Sky-pee”. She is on Sky-pee with my aunt right now discussing where to get the cheapest shampoo. Mad cute. LOL!
Hey guys! Sorry that I’ve been away for so long.
Am now back with a mega update for you guys! :D
Buttons and I brought Maliboo to the beach last weekend.
It was a really fun time for me because it was the time to find out if Maliboo knows how to swim!
I know there are only some breeds that knows how to swim (?)
But Maliboo is a rojak dog and I don’t really know the exact details of her parentage to be honest.
Hmm.. Whatever it is, we’ve found out that Maliboo can swim!
I hope she doesn’t hate us because I think we made her really tired.
Think she doesn’t really like swimming also. Heh!
She was really happy when she knew we were bringing her out. :p
Little did she know that she was gonna get an experience of a lifetime soon. Hiak hiak!
Maliboo was super duper uber tired after the rigorous exercise session!
I have never seen her that tired before!
It was also one of my most unglam visits to a beach.
I was wearing a wet singlet and wet shorts running around, chasing after the dog.
It was drizzling when we first got there and Buttons and I looked super off with our umbrella. Hahaha!
Nonetheless, I still had a lot of fun and I hope Maliboo had fun despite the fatigue! :p
This one particular picture really made me burst out laughing (sorry maliboo).
Poor girl. She was totally thrashed by the time we got home.
Buttons and I were super tired after the whole chase-dog-bathe-dog thing at Sentosa as well.
What a great Saturday! :D
Good exercise for lazy Maliboo too. Heh.
Click here to watch the video of Booly swimming! :D
I also wanna show off this super cute bra case that I brought to the beach!
I hate it whenever my bras go out of shape when I throw them into my bag.
So this bag is really a superb buy from Smoocholito!
Some random pictures of Buttons, Boo and me last weekend. :) My hair is growing so quickly. Tsk.
I visited Marina Bay Sands (for the first time) yesterday.
What can I say? I’m super suah-gu. Hahaha!
But I have to say I’m really amazed! The building itself looks really gorgeous!
The rooms are really pretty as well.
Belinda is leaving the company and she booked a room there to hold a little get-together. <3
This is Belinda by the way! :)
I had a great deal of fun with my colleagues! Almost died laughing. :x
All the best to you in your new company, Belinda!
It was such a great pleasure to meet you. :D
As for this weekend, I reckon I’m gonna spend it slacking at home.
I want it to be a no-work, no-stress, pure chillax kind of weekend!
I bought a couple DVDs 2 nights ago and hopefully I’ll get to watch all of them over this weekend!
I love snuggling up on the couch to watch DVD with ice cream or junk food. Heh!
Here are some other random pictures that I’ve taken. Hahaha.
I signed up for a year long package with Pure Yoga.
Totally love the Ngee Ann City branch – lots of studios and it’s right in the heart of the city.
Good thing is that it’s pretty convenient getting there from home as well. Purrfect!
Hope I’ll shape up and look like this again! (Hopefully. Sobs!)
I wanna show some of the apparels I’ve received in my mailbox lately too! :D Totally love them!! White tube dress from La Classic Style.
And this super sexy dress from Ash In Cans! Love it! :D
Bought something for myself as well. :)
And I’ve finally received my very own Olympus EP-1 camera!
Big thanks for Olympus for the generosity! :D I’m totally totally totally loving it.
I received a lot of emails asking me whether EP-1 or Canon 500D is better.
To be honest, they are both very different and they are both very good!! I’m getting a bit lazy to answer the emails, so sorry huh! :p
Alrighty, till next time!
Sorry I haven’t been blogging as often lately.
But will try to make every post as interesting as possible! :D
You can also follow me on my Twitter account for more updates because I’m pretty active there!
Till next time! <3
Love my post if you do, so I know what kinda stuff you guys like to see!
Hello guys! I’m back, happy as ever – because it’s weekends! :D
I’ll be visiting the Zoo tomorrow with Lianie, Andy, Sindy, LTK, Buttons & Baby Hsean Hsean tomorrow.
I wanna make special thanks to the helpful reader who gave me the Zoo tickets too. Hehe!
But before that, just a short update on what’s going in my life. :p
Work has been made interesting by lots of new clothes and accessories by various sponsors!
The most direct and easiest way to make yourself feel good is to dress good for work.
I’m totally loving the new vest I got from Sweet Vinyl owned by friend, Angelia.
My colleagues commented that my vest look really cute too. :D
And also this super cute denim romper that is best for weekends out with my Buttons! <3
Thanks to Hanasecret for the love!
We headed out of office for some BrightSparks event and I snapped a couple pictures too!
Here is Liz with the whole hill of bears. Looks like a massacre. Hahaha!
And that’s where I found a bear with a mono-nipple. *pervert grin*
I also changed the skin for my iPhone because the previous one got lots of scratches on it already. :(
I’m loving this mustard colour one as well. I got it from the Tokyo trip as well.
I also received my new bag from Tian Fen Lan!
This bag is awesome because it can be carried two ways – as a hobo or as a backpack. Great for those people who wants versatility. :)
For me, I like it best when it’s held on my shoulders as a hobo.
Looking at the pictures made me realized that I’m getting a little sick of my asymmetrical hair already.
The stupid fringe is making me go crazy.
And the worse part is, I can’t wear my headband properly because the left side is too short.
URGH! Irritating!!! *wails*
But the good news is (hiak hiak hiak) I have found a hair sponsor and will be doing my hair really soon! I’m thrilled! I’m thrilled! I’m thrilled!!!
I’ve always been looking for a good salon to have a long-term relationship with.
And I’m sure this one will be great for me! :D
Will keep you guys posted after I’ve gone for my hair-makeover! Heh!
Alright, sorry for digressing. :p
It was Wanzi Takamoto’s birthday on the 22nd and we went to celebrate her birthday over lunch. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHUYUN! <3
Always be so happy and bubbly! Hehehe.
I’ll be receiving my first paycheck on Monday!
YAYYYYYY!!!! It’s like the first proper paycheck in my life! :D
Although it’s not a lot of money, I’m still proud of myself.
It still feels surreal that I’m already out of NTU and am working already.
I’m sure Mommy is happy for me as well.
It’s the NTU convocation this coming Friday. :)
To be honest, there was some major inner struggle I went through deciding whether to attend the ceremony.
But I reckon that my parents will be real happy to see me in the convocation gown.
So, I’ll be going to the convocation! <3
I hope it won’t be too awful and people won’t jeer at me – since I took 6 years to complete my degree.
BUT HEY! I MADE IT OUT ALIVE! :D
Alright, enough of my raves, I’m gonna go pack up my room and wardrobe before Mommy goes crazy.
Will be back with more updates on a bit more of the Redang trip and my Zoo outing! Ttfn! :)
I always see this kind of articles in magazine, so I thought it’ll be quite fun to share what I have in my bag!
I don’t know whether people will be interested to know what kinda junk I have in my bag, but
WHATEVER! Haa! Here it comes.
My beloved Miumiu bag. :D What’s in there?
[Left to right; top down]
1. My purse from Japan - it’s just a brandless purse but I really love the texture! Only around S$300! Good value for money!
2. My organizer – I’m loving it after the revamp too! I bought the stickers from ION and it has given my organizer a facelift!
3. Tissue paper - to chope seats during lunch. LOL!
4. Apple iPod Touch – I use this one for my music, games and the notebook
to take notes for the shops for my Sunday Advertorials every week.
So, this one will always be in my bag.
5. Apple iPhone - I think I’m gonna change the red polka dot skin soon. A bit sick of it already. :x Love the blings though!
6. Nokia X6 – it happened to be in my bag when I did this post so I’ll just add it in.
Haha! Will be reviewing this phone soon! So stay tuned if you’re interested in this music phone! :)
7. Plastic bag – This bag is very useful when I go grocery shopping after work before I head home. (Save the Earth!)
And it’s really useful when it rains too! Because I’d put my entire handbag inside this bag
so that the leather won’t get wet. You girls should do it too! :)
8. Chanel two way cake – for the vain me. :p
9. Armani White perfume - This is my FAVOURITE scent. Sadly, it’s not in production anymore!
This bottle is finishing up and I’m really dying to get more of this.
The bottle is not fragile and it’s small enough to be in the bag.
If anyone of you see any shops selling this, tell me okay!!
10. Burberry key pouch – I’ve got matching keypouches with my Mom! I bought them in Tokyo.
11. Canon IXUS 85 camera – It’s a little crazy to lug my huge cameras around
so it’s always good to have this compact camera in my bag!
You never know when you wanna camwhore! :p
Yes, that is my dear doggie Maliboo.
I feel really guilty these days because I’m hardly home because of work.
And Maliboo is always at home on her own.
How I wish I can bring her to work as well. Hee!
But yeah, impossible la. :x
Time passes like freaking quickly lahhh!
In the blink of an eye, I have already been working at JobsCentral for coming 3 weeks already!
Work here is really fun and I get to do a lot of creative stuff like thinking of concepts for our TVCs and radio ads,
think of new campaigns and try to make them happen, stuff like that.
Well, of course, there are other mundane things to do as well.
But I reckon it’s the same for every job – so, I’m not complaining. Heh!
As I need more outfits for work, I have been receiving new bags, new dresses from many blogshops! They are freaking good to me lor!
Like this black top is from Absolute Closet!
I like the sash thingy across the front of the top, sexay~ Hahahaha!
Pardon my fatty arms.
Anyway, Buttons has been REALLY REALLY REALLY nice to me since I started working!
He is totally spoiling me rotten! (Heh heh but I like!)
Since the first day of work, which is 3 weeks ago, I have only taken train to work in the morning ONCE! O-N-C-E-!
For the rest of the day, Buttons has been driving me to work every morning!
And especially on days when he doesn’t need to wake up early, he willingly climbed out of bed to drive me too!
I’m really really touched.
(Okay, Buttons is sleeping behind me in my room now and he just chuckled. Crazy HAHAHA!)
Well yeah, thank you Buttons!
You’re the best boyfriend ever! <3
Since I started working, I think I have looked more tired than ever.
My skin is dry and my dark eye rings are becoming more and more obvious.
I’m going to become an old hag soon. Haha!
I should really start to not wear makeup to work. Hmm..
(Got a new pimple on my right CHEEK somemore! @#^#@$@#$&%*^%#!)
Oh!! On a better note, I will be going on a cruise trip next weekend with my company.
I know, how lucky right!
I’ve only been with them for less than a month and I get to go on a trip with them already. :p We’ll be on Star Cruise and will stop by Redang!
I have never been to Redang and I’m really really thrilled! :D
The theme of one of the dinner parties that we’ll be having is “Nautical”!
I don’t know why but the first thing that comes to mind is Captain Jack Sparrow.
Hahahahaha!! Gimme some ideas on what I can wear to the party okay! :D
Much, much appreciated. Hehe!
Alright, I think I better go and sleep soon. The results of the KOSE Contest will be announced on my blog tomorrow (Thursday) evening!
Stay tuned and good luck!! <3
Dear all.
Please bear with me as I try to strike a balance between work life and blogging.
Now all I want to do everyday after I reach home is just to bathe and concuss on my bed.
THIS IS BAD!
Now I finally understand how tired it is for Buttons in the past to always come look me up after work.
Other than that, work has been really nice.
The people are nice and I think I am gradually fitting in.
More updates tomorrow or on Friday! Ttfn! (Tata for now)
Such a strong woman like her, who can resist such panache and charm?
Peggy has been blogging since 2005 but not only is she famous in the blogosphere,
she is also a familiar face on the silver screen as well as in stock images library.
Peggy Chang is a graduate from Nanyang Technological University
and lives by the motto of “Never let anybody tell you what you can or cannot do.”
We spoke to her and the very one thing I like most about her is… her humility:
“It is a blessing for me though, that after having brushed shoulders with all these glamour and temptations,
I’ve still stayed pretty grounded.”
Why did you name your blog “Sixpegs”?
Well, pegs is from my name ‘Peggy’ and my birth date falls on the 6th of August.
Coincidentally, 6 is my favourite number as well.
It is easy to remember because it sounds like six packs too, so I decided to call my blog ‘sixpegs’.
When did you start blogging?
I started blogging in 2005. It has been such a long time!
What interests you in modelling?
Modelling is interesting because you pose like a soccer player one day,
and dress up like a bride the very next day.
It allows you to meet many interesting people and also made me more ‘street-smart’ in the process.
The biggest lesson you have learnt is “Never let anybody tell you what you can or cannot do.”
Would you like to share the experience you learnt this lesson from?
I definitely didn’t learn this from just one incident.
Being a typical Leo, I am proud and as obstinate as a mule.
I hate having people to tell me what is the right way or the wrong way to do things.
Because I believe that sometimes, even when I take a longer wrong,
or the so-called wrong route, I see more and I learn more.
I realised that you have always had short hair. Every tried growing a tress?
I have always wanted long and wavy hair.
Do you know that I even tried having hair extensions?
It was such a disaster. Well, I love the feeling of having a haircut too much I guess.
It feels as if I have just left some of my troubles behind in the salon
and starting out as a ‘fresh new, different person’ again.
You mentioned that you like Marilyn Monroe. What about her that appeals to you?
She is a small girl looking for a love in a big and colourful world.
All the men in the world adore her, but not one of these men can give her the love a woman deserves.
She is beautiful and is not afraid to show the world what she has.
She knows her strengths and weaknesses. She is such an enchanting character.
I wish I knew her.
She once said “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” I’ll always remember her wise words.
If you can turn back time, what would you change?
Do you know of the butterfly effect?
I think I am too afraid to take the chance and change anything in my life.
Everything happens for a reason.
You are given 24 hours to spend time with anyone. Who would that lucky person be?
My mom.
Tell us more about “Sunday Advertorials.”
Sunday Advertorials is like a place for you to check back every Sunday for new updates from blogshops. This will be a terrific place for you if you’re a blogshop shopaholic.
Some may say that you can be a mailing list member at the blogshop to be updated of their new launches, but how many dozen mailing lists can one join?
Thus, I decided that I should do this advertorial thing and make it a Sunday thing because that’s when people are bored at home and dreading Monday.
Retail therapy will surely work.
Sunday Advertorials is a great place for new blogshops to meet the world too!
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
I hope I will be married by then.
I can blog all about my life as a married young lady working in the society.
Ideally, I also want to be a mother in 5 years time.
What would advise young girls out there who would like to carve a modelling career path for themselves?
Go and do it. And remember, don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do.
If you think you want to know how it feels like to be a model, then go ahead and be one.
Be proactive, and be open-minded about it.
Go talk to people and approach people or agencies.
In your own definition, what makes a woman modern and smart?
To be modern and smart, this woman has to be confident, well informed and resourceful.
It is also important to have good social skills and a high EQ.
What, to you, is being financially independent?
Being financially independent is being able to support oneself, whichever kind of lifestyle one has.
Do you think you are financially savvy and smart? Why?
I think I am not financially savvy and smart enough. I’m still trying to work on it.
No one can be smart enough, to be honest.
Hello guys! It has been a while since I have last updated my blog. (well FYI, 4 days is actually considered pretty long for me because I love blogging!!) But life has finally decided to treat me better lately!
I have started on a new phase of my life and I am very excited about everything that is happening for me now.
Alright before I go into that, here are some lighthearted stuff for you guys!
Here are some pictures Lianie took at our steamboat dinner last week!
I love my girlfriends! They are really too good to be true. Hee. <3
I have prepared four wonderful blogshops this Sunday for your viewing pleasure.
I know the Great Singapore Sale is big and all-the-rage now!
But if you think that all the great sales are only taking place in the malls, you’re so wrong!
You are in for a treat with this four fabulous websites featured this week! Have fun shopping. And I wish all of you guys a great week ahead! :)
Hey guys, I know I haven’t really talked much about the last few days of my Tokyo trip. SO, HERE I AM! :D
For the last few days in Tokyo, I didn’t really do much more except shopping!
Well, to be honest, there wasn’t really a hell lot of shopping as well.
I bought crappy tiny things along the way but I think most of my money went to the food! *burps*
Buttons was busy with work even when he was overseas on vacation.
Sigh, but a man has gotta do what a man has to do.
So, I set off to explore the city on my own on Day 6!
I set off to Harajuku and Omotesando area to do some shopping.
And this time, since I was alone and I didn’t have to listen to Buttons’ whining (haha!),
I ventured out and totally walked randomly on my own!
It is always very exciting to walk around without a map alone. :p
It was good to just tour around the city and I bought quite a lot of stuff when I’m out shopping alone!
I bought gifts for my parents and also a new keypouch, wallet and bag for myself. Hee! :D
I then went back to Ikebukuro area to have dinner with Buttons.
Poor baby had to be in the room for the whole day to do up his work. Such a hardworking boy! *hugs*
Dinner was good. It was at this place called 天狗 near the Ikebukuro station.
Well, it’s obviously not read 天狗 like how we say it in Mandarin.
I don’t know how to read it in Japanese but oh well the food there is great!
The ambience is bustling and everyone in there looks jolly and happy with their food.
The prices are very affordable too. The yakitori there is to-die-for! :D”"
Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures of the yakitori because I forgot about the camera the moment I saw the food.
Hahahaha! Here are some other shots I snapped in the restaurant. :)
Buttons and I visited Ueno the following day because he wanted to go to the Hard Rock Cafe there.
He is a collector of Hard Rock Cafe pins and it’s just a must for him to get one when we’re in Tokyo!
Ueno is a pretty interesting place because the stuff found here are rather different from the town area.
You can find stalls selling vegetables, seafood next to shops selling 2nd hand branded bags and shoes!! :p
Rather interesting, but not my kinda place though. Heh!
But here is Ueno for you guys to check it out. Sidenote: The things here are a lot cheaper than those in town though.
The tee shirt beneath my denim shirt is proudly sponsored by Polka Dots Pigs!
It’s super comfortable and I love it. :D
Thanks for the love, dear Polka Dot Pigs!
By the way, still remember Issei Sagawa?
He now has a transport company in Japan!! Haha. Kidding!
But seeing his name now still gimme the creeps! *shivers*
This is the keychain/bag charm I bought from Hard Rock Cafe at Ueno.
The cafe is just inside in the Ueno JR station so it’s impossible for you to miss it!
The shop keeper told me that this one with Hello Kitty can only be found in Japan. Cuteness! I love it!! <3
We then headed over to Ebisu and Daikanyama area to just tour the place.
These are quieter neighbourhoods as compared to the few places we’ve been for the last few days.
We found funky toy shops and nice gift shops around here!
The things found here are generally more expensive (esp Daikanyama), but the place is gorgeous.
Quiet and expensive neighbourhood, according to my Japanese friend.
I wanna laugh whenever I see this picture!!
Look at Buttons’ FLARED NOSTRILS SMILE! LOL!
The night ended when we met up with another Couchsurfer, Kumiko!
She was a real darling and she brought us to this really pretty chillout place near Daikanyama area.
She introduced us to her friend, Sandra too.
We were later joined by another Couchsurfer from Germany too! :)
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to speak to Kumiko much because there were too many of us.
And we were all chatterboxes so we were talking to each other a little too much. Haha!
But Kumiko was really nice and she offered to bring us out around town the following day!
As our resources were running low, Buttons and I only wanted to shop around Ikebukuro area.
There is a huge part of Ikebukuro that we hadn’t been to yet, so this was a great chance!
Kumiko wasn’t really good with the Ikebukuro area because she hardly goes here.
But she was nice enough to brave through Ikebukuro with us! :p
It was a Saturday and Kumiko was dressed more casually.
And I love her hat! Pretty pretty! :D
My dressing is really plain when compared to the Japanese! I’m ashamed of myself. Hahaha!
My “all dressed up” kinda look is actually their normal dressed down getups. Bleah!
Anyway, this is us in Ikebukuro on our second last day in Tokyo.
You must be wondering why is Kumiko and Buttons posing with that can of coffee?
Hahahahaha. I actually made them do this video (below) in the middle of nowhere in Ikebukuro.
Well, it’s because even back in Singapore, Buttons likes to do this “Japan Hour” impersonation.
You know how the Japanese like to go “EHHHHH!!! OISHI!!!” when they go on those food shows right?
Hahahahaha! Buttons loves doing that whenever he is with me.
So since we are in Japan, and we have a Japanese friend with us, we just HAD to let them do it together! :p
Not bad at all, I’d say!
Makes me think that the vending machine coffee is REALLY GOOD!! :p
Kumiko spotted a KTV while we were cruising about town and we decided to try it out!
Japan is afterall the country where Karaoke was born, so this is the best place to visit a KTV! Heh.
I was a little worried about the kind of songs in there because I can only memorize and sing 2 Japanese songs.
And since I cannot read Japanese, it’s going to be disastrous if they only have Japanese songs in there.
But on the contrary, the songs in there are amazing good and comes in various languages!
Even the Mandarin songs in there are very updated!
They have Hiragana above every word for the the Mandarin songs so that the Japanese can sing them too.
I even sang a Japanese song with Kumiko!!! Hahahaha.
“First Love” by Utada Hikaru is one of the 2 Japanese songs I memorized.
Fortunately I haven’t forgotten the words to the song and didn’t made a fool of myself in front of a Japanese.
Hehehe! :p
I also spotted a Sanrio shop so I went in there and bought a huge Kuromi cushion!
The Hello Kitty cushions in there have pink ribbons but I only like my Hello Kitty with red ribbons. Yes, I’m anal like that.
But the Kuromi one is really cute! I love it!
Here is a retarded picture of me and my new cushion. Hehe! :p
I also bought this small charm of Kitty on a JR train.
JR trains are the ones Buttons and I took most often when we were in Tokyo.
So this one will serve as a real good memento for myself! :)
Well, this pretty much rounds up our entire Tokyo trip.
The 8 and a half days in Tokyo has been really fabulous!
Although we made changes to the places to visit and didn’t stick to our itinerary very much (dammit),
we still had lots of fun when we were there! :D
And above all, I think the meetups with the Couchsurfers really made things a lot more interesting.
If there are people out there who hasn’t heard of Couchsurfing yet, it’s time to find out more!
Click on this link to find out more about this amazing community. :)
Well, and I shall also end this post with another piece of good news.
After all the seeking and resume-sendings, I have found a position that I have been looking for. (It’s nothing related to Civil Engineering just in case you’re wondering)
I will tell you more about it in my next post.
Buttons has been really sweet too!
The silly boy actually spent a huge sum of money to buy me these gorgeous figurines from Precious Thots.
We saw this first figurine when we were shopping at ION couple months ago.
I just casually said I liked it a lot because I have always been a fan of Beauty and the Beast since I was young.
The silly boy actually went back there to get it for me. <3
It’s really adorable and I love it!
And few days later after I told him that I have gotten the job, he told me he got another surprise for me.
He made me cover my eyes while he gingerly placed the “surprise” in front of me.
And when I heard the tune “Beauty and the Beast” being played, I couldn’t bear it anymore and opened my eyes! And I saw this!!!
I was so touched I actually cried. I’m such an idiot.
He said he actually bought this with the other Beauty and the Beast figurine,
and he wanted to keep this for my birthday.
But he was really happy that I managed to get a job so soon and decided that this will be a congratulatory gift!
It was really beautiful!! <3
Belle and the Beast twirls around in the lit podium as the tune “Beauty and Beast” tinkles. I love this so much, thanks Buttons!
And since we’re talking about Beauty and the Beast, I shall also tell you this story only my close friends know.
It’s nothing serious, but something funny that happened to me when I was a lot younger.
When I was in primary school, like Primary 1 or 2 or something, I was in the Bookworm Club.
Hahaha. Cute hor! :p
Anyway, my Mom and I were invited to this Bookworm Club gathering they had.
And when we were there, we were actually invited on stage to play this “How well you know each other” game.
We were asked questions like “What is your daughter’s favourite food?” kinda questions.
All those questions were really easy peasy for us since my Mom and I know each other pretty well.
THEN, came the question “What is your daughter’s favourite cartoon?”
OMG! That was like a giveaway question because I was obsessed with Beauty and the Beast when I was a kid. But instead of writing Beauty and the Beast on my answer board, I wrote…
And so, we lost the game.
My mother later asked me “You like to watch He Man one meh!”
And I told her I wrote He Man because I didn’t know how to spell Beauty and the Beast.
HAHAHAHAHA! It’s really stupid.
Everytime when I see Beauty and the Beast now, it will still remind me of stupid He Man!
Oh well, that’s just some really stupid stories. Heh!
Buttons, thanks for the Beauty and the Beast figurines! I love them. <3
And thanks for driving me around for the job interviews as well.
As most of you readers have known by now, I am absolutely in love with my new Olympus EP-1 camera!
This camera has everything a DSLR has, and the best part is,
the EP-1 is smaller and looks more chic as compared to any regular DSLRs!
Mine comes with a black camera case and also an adhesive red outer “skin” that allows me to customize how I want my camera to look like! Gorgeous right? :)
The camera is made of a strong metallic finish and it feels oh-so-sturdy on my hands!
And if you don’t want it to be in a metallic grey color,
you don’t even need to worry about it at all because
the camera comes with accessories of various colours and textures!
Look at mine – it’s in a luxurious shade of red. Pretty aye?
There is a unique E-Portrait function in the camera and this function is totally amazing! Why?
Because it is like a makeup function that instantly helps
eliminate pimples and little blemishes on your skin, giving you perfect looking skin!
Omg, damn good for me when I’m lazy to put on makeup!
Hahahaha!! :D But other than that, my favourite would be the ART Functions!
The functions are (clockwise from top left) –
pinhole, grainy film, pale&light, pop art, soft focus and light tone.
The grainy film looks nostalgic and really funky, while the pale&light and light tone functions gives pictures a faded and vintage kind of feel. Pop art, on the other hand,
makes the colours more saturated and fresh looking.
Soft focus, well, makes everything look dreamy and fairy tale-like. Haa!
But my favourite, will have to be the pinhole function! It’s Lomography hello!!! WEE!!! <3
I have never been really very good with Photoshop so this function will help me a lot. For myself, my favourite would have to be the pinhole function!
And I have taken many many pictures in Japan using this function! Check them out!
The Olympus EP-1 really impresses me a lot because everything about it is perfect!
The camera is so small but packed with so much goodness!
Compared to many other mini DSLRs on the market, the camera is so much smaller!
The lens are retractable and it makes the camera tight and compact! Okay, I am in love! :)
If you’re wondering whether the video mode on this camera works with the ART Functions, well check this out!
I have roped my cousin (Demi) in to do up this little video for me.
Hahahaha!
She looks really adorable and she is freaking talented, I’d have to say!
Well, this video is all about family and love.
I hope it’s not too lame but Demi is the joy in our family because of her drama-mama character (lol)! I hope you guys will love this video as well.
(And remember to love your family, dear friends!)

The third day of our Tokyo trip is officially over!
I’m slacking around now while Buttons take a short nap.
He got tons of work to do and he’s trying to catch some sleep now before working again! So poor thing.
We visited Harajuku and Shibuya on Sunday and it was such a blast.
But strangely, I don’t know why I didn’t spend much money when I was there!
I think I was “holding back” a bit. Hahaha! Spent most of my money on food instead.
TSK TSK TSK! I’m so chubby already leh. DIE!
Anyway, here is my getup for the day!
White top from M)phosis, bow tie from Bangkok and Mom’s skirt.
The adorable brown bag is from Polka Dot Pigs. Thanks for the love! :)
We checked out the crepes at Harajuku too! Everyone has been telling me so much about them.
AND YES! They are yummy indeed!! :D”
Buttons loved it to bits. But we spent way too little time on Harajuku.
We should really go back there again a couple more times! (But my favourite would be Shibuya though) That place is LOVE!
However Harajuku is cool on Sundays because of all the cosplay action going on there!
There are lots of street musicians and performers as well. Everyone there looks happy and fresh.
It is such a great place to be in. Even standing in a corner people-watching can be so so much fun!
We then walked from Harajuku to Shibuya.
The two places are just a 10-minutes walk away from each other by the way.
Buttons bought me that beautiful necklace for me when we were in Shibuya. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Thanks Buttons dear. <3
I also bought this super adorable iPhone screen protector thing when I was in Shibuya! IT IS SO ADORABLE RIGHT!
I have never seen something similar in Singapore!
I should totally bring some back to sell. LOL!
Let me know if anyone wants it. Hahaha! But it’s not cheap though. *sobs*
But aiya, totally worth every cent if it’s unique right? Hahaha.
It’s money well spent for me! :D
This is how I have described myself and my blog! Hahaha.
I could have gone on and on but they got limitations on the number of words.
I don’t know why they wanna pick that picture of mine anyway!
And these are the other 9 finalists for the award!
And out of this other 9 finalists, I have either read/heard about them or know them personally. 4 of them are personal friends of mine actually!
So well, no cut-throat competitions please. Heh!
Face it, we know we are all awesome and tech-savvy people. :p
But a competition is still a competition. I’m sure they’re going to give me a run for my money!
I am the last to do up this rally for the competition because I was too excited about my graduation. (WOOHOO!) So here’s mine anyway:
You can do your voting here at the OMY Singapore Blog Awards Website. But if you are not a member at this website, I’m afraid you’ll have to register first.
Not to worry though, because you’ll only have to go through the signup process only once,
thereafter you can just click to vote for me (1 vote a day please!) at the website!
The votes will make up 30% (!!) of the final scores.
As you can see from the rankings shown in the picture above, I’m lagging behind in votes like crazy.
So please do your part to help me on this one okay? :D
Special thanks to the reader who nominated me for the award. Very kind of you indeed. Haha!
And to the rest of you readers, time to help me gain some votes! :D
I am in a great mood today.
Everything seems bright and cheery, even the air smells sweet! Heh!
And to add on to that wonderful mood, we have a total of six wonderful blogshops featured this week!
Lots and lots of clothes for you to choose from.
And in conjunction with The Great Singapore Sales, lots of these shops are also having their mega sales! LUCKY YOU! :p
Happy shopping. You will go gaga at all these sales going on, I’m sure! Heh.
This is Belinda by the way! :)
