Sunday Advertorials.
How was the week, ladies?
I hope it has been fabulous for you girls.
I see that the hits have been higher today,
& I’m sorry I’m late for the reporting of new clothes on the rack this Sunday!
Happy Shopping!
♥
It’s lustmonday again, better and bigger.
& I’m the lucky biatch who gets to wear all these pretty dresses!
But you can be the one to get one for yourself too.
Remember to get them while they’re still available! :)
Click on the logo above to be directed to the blogshop!
& here is a sneak peek of their sixth collection.
& a few of my favourites!
totally heart this vintage fabric -
♥
Shopahoantics has a name I cannot forget.
Catchy, isn’t it?
I really love how they went all the way in to the middle of nowhere
to have their photoshoots done!
That’s 100 points for effort, ladies.
Show your support & pamper yourself in material if you fancy something!
Here are some of the sixpegs picks!
♥
And last but definitely not the least is a blogshop
set up by this energetic & bubble duo.

Hibernation.
I finally got my haircut!
It totally thrills me because it’s SHORT again!
YAY.
My hair is not as luscious and long to get the demi moore haircut,
SADLY.
But I kinda like it this way now too actually!
:D
I went for movies with Lianie, Sinsin and Jinhe 2 nights ago.
Just a nearby one at AMK Hub.
Ice Age 3 is really way too adorable!
I haven’t been visiting the cinemas a lot lately.
Haven’t had the chance to watch Transformers 2 & Ghost of Girlfriends Pasts.
I wonder if they’re good.
Anyway, after the movie with them at AMK,
we walked back to Sinsin’s car & realized that it’s out of petrol!
Look what we did!
HAHAHAHAHA.
Quite an experience for me because I’ver never bought petrol this way before.
But I sure hope it doesn’t happen again.
LOL!
And more random pictures from the weekend!
:)
Movie Marathons.
Hello netizens!
I know I have disappeared from the face of my blog for the longest time.
I am not dead yet, and I didn’t fracture my arms.
Benjamin fell ill couple days ago!
& with the crazy H1N1 scare,
I get busy looking after him as well.
Fortunately, it’s just a common ailment & he’s feeling loads better now.
:)
I’m feeling all domesticated & homely all of a sudden.
I’ve been watching SO MUCH DVDs I think I’m going mad soon.
Out of all those that I’ve caught,
I’d have to admit that I love “Silence of the Lamb” & “Ghost” the most!
AND OH MY GOD I LOVE DEMI MOORE’S HAIR IN GHOST.
I REALLY DO LOVE IT!
She looks so so so chic & adorable in that.
& now it makes me wanna get a haircut again.
Problem is I doubt my hair is long enough now.
Is her hair cute?
AWW! I ♥ those cute bangs on the boy cut!
I hope they’re cute even on a chubby asian face.
Sausages are the best.
I saw this very interesting thing couple days ago on my friend’s facebook,
so I decided to share it with my fellow blog readers.
It says,
“20 REASONS WHY A SAUSAGE IS BETTER THAN A MAN“
1. You don’t have to please a sausage all night long.
2. Sausage stains wash out.
3. A frigid sausage is also a good sausage.
4. Your sausage will always wait for you in the car while you go shopping.
5. When your sausage goes cold, you can always warm it up.
6. A sausage is alway hard.
7. A sausage never get jealous when you put another sausage in your mouth.
8. Sausage don’t smell like stale pork.
9. Sausage skin comes off without a fight.
10. If you have a headache, you don’t have to please a sausage.
11. You can have 2 sausages at one time.
12. A sausage won’t get upset if you come home with another sausage.
13. A sausage slips in your mouth easily
14. Sausage size doesn’t count.
15. You can share sausages with friends.
16. You always know if you’re the first one to taste a sausage.
17. A sausage can last all night long.
18. Sausages are not chauvinist pigs.
19. You can have a sausage in public.
20. Sausages don’t care who comes first.

Sunday Advertorials.
Welcome to this Sunday’s Advertorials!
I’ve got a smashing collection of 5 blogshops this week to showcase.
I’m surely at least 1 or 2 will be able to catch your attention!
♥
First up is Dear Carol, a nice name inspired by a sparrow!
& that explains the motif found on this website.
They sell vintage dresses and blouses that are totally one of its kind.
Recently, this website has been bringing in trendy streetwear too.
So if you’re into vintage apparels, this is the place to go.

is definitely a playground for basics lovers.

this is your one stop accessories blogshop!
As part of the GSS promotions,
you can now purchase any 2 items and enjoy $4 off!
There are also mismatched earrings which I really love!

The bubble loop can also be used as a one sided earring or pendant.

so say byebye to tarnished accessories!
& if you spend more than $50, get a pair of free pixie earrings too!
Whoopee! What else are you waiting for!
♥
The next blogshop has a name that leaves quite a deep impression.
I’m sure you’d love the down to earth feelings you get from I Love Being Real.
They speak about representing attitudes in life -
to hold on to one’s beliefs & true self.
Being passionate about life & to be hopeful and real.
The apparels from this website focuses on being simple, clean and wearable!
This blogshop is also having a couple promotions -
you can accumulate RealPoints with every purchase made &
be part of their mailing list to enjoy free postage too!

Now shop fast & shop smart too! :D
♥
Last but definitely not the least for this Sunday Advertorials,
we’ve got Grandioseaffair with us!
Grandioseaffair will be giving all SIXPEGS readers a 5% discount
if you join their mailing list & quote sixpegs in your orders!
They have got really simple and nice dresses good to take us everywhere.
& I think the model looks a little like Gillian Chung!
You think so too?
Hehehe, PRETTY! :p
Remember to click on to see more of the items selling at Grandioseaffair!
Winner winner, Chicken Dinner.
It has been almost a week since we came back from UK.
& for Buttons and myself,
it’s mostly eating non stop at our favourite eating places.
For instance, we’ve had chicken rice at Boon Tong Kee three times so far!
HAHAHAHA!
I know, we’re totally insane! :p
I accompanied Buttons to Flare at National Museum yesterday.
It’s the showcase of short films done by the graduating ADM Film Majors.
Buttons wrote the music for 3 of the short films showcased last night.
Awesome, baby! :)
But I’ve never liked socializing & stuff, especially when it’s not even my kind of event.
I barely knew anyone from the event last night!
But fortunately I saw Ding An & it was good to have his company
while Buttons got busy meeting people & stuff.
& you also must catch Kallang Roar directed by Ding An! Awesome shit.
I did meet up with my cousin Desmond on Wednesday too!
He is back in Singapore from UK for his vacation,
& this time he’ll be staying til Sept!
GREATNESS! :p
I introduced him to Buttons (as instructed by him) & they seem to hit it off quite well.
What else, oh I did another shoot for lustmonday too!
Click on logo below to go to their website.
Here are some of the (nearly illegal to post)
sneak peeks for this coming Monday’s items.
HAHAHAHA!
My hair is really getting ridiculously messy!
So out of hand that I don’t even really know how to style it anymore!
I really don’t wanna get them cut though, dammit.
& I’m getting a little too chubby hoh?
Oh well, but the main point is,
I hope you like the clothes! :D
Remember to support lustmonday this coming Monday for the collection!
I’m high but I’m grounded.
Hello everybody, I’m finally back!
The ten days UK trip has been a great experience for me.
From the very first minute to the last – awesome!
For one, it’s my first time on the plane alone.
Ahem, I’m finally big girl now.
HAHAHAHA!
Here are some of the pictures that I haven’t posted in the previous entries.
Quite a handful of them, plus some new ones from the last few days.
Hope you’ll love them!
♥
The journey back was quite bad though.
I got a seat next to this really really REALLY fat African guy.
& I think he took up like 1/5 of my seat as well.
When the person in front of him reclined his seat,
this guy cannot even extend his folded table!
You can IMAGINE how HUGE he is!
Oh well, but I think I lied on his arm when I fell asleep.
(quite comfortable)
HAHAHAHA!
& I think the ticket back sort of gave me a hint that the trip is going to be a torturous one already.
Look at my board pass! It says PMS!
LOL.
The trip has been fantastic.
So good that it has made me withdraw almost all my fortune from my bank account.
So the balance is like super unhealthy now.
HAHAHA!
I better make more money now!
ROAR.
Sunday Advertorials (LATE, sorry!)
Hello girls!
I’m sorry if some of you are already waiting for this week’s Sunday Advertorials!
I just got back from London after a long and tiring 15 hours flight,
but here it is for you anyway!
HAVE FUN!

This is Itchyy Backside with 2 “y”s for that extra punch of naughtiness!
I’m loving the layout of this blogshop – everything is spick and span & absolutely perfect for an OCD like me.
Check out this blogshop’s latest collections!
In this collection, their star item would be this dress that can bring sexy back!
Well that explains the name of their collection, isn’t it?
I’m totally loving this one in fresh bright colors! :)
& if you’re not into outrageously bright colored dresses, fret not!
Itchyybackside also carries nice dainty looking dresses good enough to bring you out about town.
♥

Other than this, the website also boasts of other clothes, cosmetics & bags up for sale!

WHOOOPEE!
As for me, I really dislike buying lingerie from stores.
All the dressing & undressing seriously never fails to get on my nerves.
SO, HERE IS YOUR SAVIOUR! GET IT ONLINE NOW!
♥
Last but definitely not the least, we have Treslovechic!
This website is all sugar and spice – feminine with a little groove here and there.
I’m totally loving it!
Treslovechic also want all shoppers to know about the exclusivity of their apparels.
Definitely not items that you will find everywhere else (mmm something I’d appreciate!)
And they also have exclusively manfactured pieces to further differentiate themselves from others!
This cute little number is definitely one of my favourites from the collection!
Still in Reading.
This entry would probably be a little too boring for most of you.
The sad thing is I haven’t been doing much of the “exciting” things here in Reading.
It is a pretty and quiet place though, & somewhat nice to stay in with Buttons.
Play frisbee, do groceries shopping etc. HAHAHA.
Yes we are feeling very domesticated. :p
I’m looking forward to the weekend in London though, I hope all the museums will turn out really awesome!
Here are some of (my favourite) feet shots while I was on my way out to town centre to meet Buttons after his classes.
Oh! New pumps from Primark!
My dearest Sinsin dear commented that the pictures from the last two entries are way too big!
So for her sake, I’ve resized the photos for this one.
I’m sorry if those pictures had caused you discomfort too! :p
Irritating Buttons!
I asked him for a picture and look at his stupid face.
So I gave him the dissed face to show him how awful it can get.
Hmm now, this is MUCH BETTER!
We had English beer in one of the pubs around here in the afternoon with his music department colleague, Matt.
English beer rocks because it’s straight from a tap & it’s not fizzy at all.
Great for gulping I’d say!
But what Matt said was true too – it’s dangerous in a way, you can’t gauge when you’ve had a little too much. :p
After drinks, we headed out for a nice dinner with his two other female friends who came over to teach in Singapore in April.
One was attached to Deyi Secondary School & the other in ACJC.
Although I didn’t have much to add to all the experiences teaching here and in Singapore blah,
but I’d have to admit that it’s quite insightful and rather entertaining to watch the teachers rant about the educational systems, students, etc.
HAHAHAHAHA.
I’m loving my £8 new blue sneakers from Primark.
Now I can finally understand why you girls are all crazy over Primark.
IT’S TOTALLY AWESOME!
I’ve been going there almost everyday (I know that is really hardcore) & robbing them of their stockings which are sold at unbelievably cheap prices!
YAY.
& that’s all for today, ladies.
I’ll be heading over to London, for the last time this trip, tomorrow morning with Buttons.
Will definitely make it a point to catch all the interesting sights they’ve got there.
Buttons & I are dying to check out all the hippie and funky little markets they’ve got there!
Wish us luck! :)
Castles. Dinners. Boomerangs.
The days in UK has been awesome since the last time I blogged.
We visited Windsor castle, one of the oldest castle around, yesterday.
It’s really beautiful & what I liked most about it would be the Doll’s House – really exquisite & gorgeous!
The architecture of the castle was awesome beyond words!
Button’s colleague here brought us around Royal Ascot area & showed us around the districts where the rich and famous resides.
We went to check out Eton College as well, one of THE outstanding school here.
I’m not as thrilled as the rest of them (who were all teachers)though,
but I’m really amazed by how gorgeous the school buildings are here.
Why aren’t schools in Singapore made like this?
What I find most beautiful about this neighborhood though, is how all the doors are all different here.
I find them strangely attractive.
Button’s colleague, Winston who is in his 50s by the way, then brought us to his home for dinner!
This has got to be the best meal I’ve had here in UK.
I’m really lucky and honoured to be sit in an English home to have a traditional English dinner.
Here’s the hungry Buttons at the nicely set up dining table.
If all traditional English dinners are like the one we had, I can only say “WOW!”
It started off with appetizers – assorted pastries served with champagne.
They were served in the front garden & we enjoyed our food in the nice warm sun.
We then had our main course which is the smoked salmon,
with salads, mushroom stewed with bamboo shoots, lots of potatoes cooked in different ways.
The food was passed round the table in serving dishes & it feels really heart warming eating like that.
All these were served with white wine in exquisitely crafted crystal wine glasses.
Just as we thought it would be end of dinner, Winston’s wife, Veronica, brought out an array of sweets to further entice us!
Chocolate brownies with figs, baked apple pies and cheesecakes – we were all bought over instantly!
To think that you can actually CHOOSE your desserts, whoopee!
But we were all greedy so we ate all three kinds of sweets.
And she offered us beer to go with the cakes too.
and JUST AS WE THOUGHT DINNER WOULD FINALLY BE OVER, we were guided into the back garden for our last course.
Veronica brought out a tray of different kinds of cheese like mozzarella, blue cheese, cheddar and more.
They were presented nicely on a silver tray with grapes & crackers, accompanied with coffee and tea.
Goodness gracious me!
You can IMAGINE how STUFFED we were at the end of this dinner!
But honestly, this has got to be the best meal I’ve had in England.
And on top of the that, it’s the priceless experience of being able to dine with the rest in a beautiful English home that made the dinner a very enjoyable one.
Having the dinner in 3 different locations in the house.
And having champagne, wine, beer all within one meal – that’s some hefty job for the stomach (& liver) to take!
It actually left me a little tipsy after dinner! HAHAHA.
:)
We headed back to hostel by train & had to cross this huge field on our way back.
I really love how they have these vast & clean parks everywhere in England!
It does help a lot too, when the weather is so fine here during summer.
Call me childish but I’m in love with this grass flower (no idea what it’s called) & it’s so pretty!
I’ve been doing a large part trying to help its wind pollination process while playing with it.
HAHAHAHA.
OH I love them! (I look a little stressed up in this picture below though!)
And quoting Buttons “How can we not catch a West End Musical when we’re here in England!”
True enough, we caught Les Miserables at The Queen’s Theatre.
The theatre is a small but cosy one & it JUST feels different watching it here in London.
And undeniably, the musical was fantastic – left me sobbing and crying and lemming for more.
The male lead who played Jean Valijean gave an outstanding performance & the play ended with a standing ovation.
What a great experience!
Buttons & I chanced upon the Soho area in here too!
I totally LOVE this place – from the colorful quiet pubs and bars to shops that are outrageously gay in your face.
The people here are very interesting & streets were littered with very well dressed young people.
The aura of this place is definitely not something you’d find locally in Singapore.
Buttons & I bought this really pretty passport cover for ourselves too!
♥
It’s kinda retarded because we actually “exchanged gifts” (when they are both identical)!
But to me, it’s really something memorable & meaningful because with this,
we agreed to travel together & see the world together in time.
This damn passport cover is really quite costly though, costs S$45! DAMMIT.
But oh well, definitely worth the price if it is capable of reminding both of us of our goal!
And it’s really pretty, don’t you agree? :)
OH YES & I’ve finally checked out Primark by the way, girls!
OH MY GOD. IT IS SO AWESOME!
Cheap and amazingly GOOD – thanks for the recommendation folks!
I bought hell lots of stuff from there & I’ll slowly reveal them on my blog. Hurhur.
As for today, it is really a very laid back day but I really had a lot of fun!
Actually come to think about it, it’s really kind of a small little adventure for Buttons & I.
I was in the room until Buttons came back from school with my budget pizza plus coke lunch! :p
Then we had this bizarre crazy urge to play boomerang at that big field nearby.
So he borrowed this boomerang from his neighbor and we headed out for some fun in the warm sun.
But just minutes into the ‘boomeranging”, he threw the boomerang so hard it ended up in some really dense hedges!
We ran around the huge and loooonnnngggg stretch of hedges in hopes of retrieving the boomerang,
BUT WE FAILED TO FIND IT.
Buttons was REALLY upset.
HAHAHA! It’s kinda funny when I think about it now.
I think we must have behaved like complete losers there.
I’m sure those girls having picnic near us must be laughing at us like crazy!
Anyway, we walked back to the room dejected & headed out to the nearby mart to get another boomerang for his friend.
And the shitty boomerang costs S$32!
IT’S JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC! WTF.
AND IT’S NOT THAT FUN TO PLAY WITH ANYWAY!
I really do not understand this at all.
We also bought another frisbee for ourselves & spent the rest of the day playing our frisbee (which is so much more fun f.y.i)
HAHAHAHA.
I hope you’re not laughing at me now because I said that I had a lot of fun.
Throwing a frisbee around between 2 people may sound like boring shit to you but it’s so goddamn fun to me.
HAHAHAHA!
(OMG I LOVE BUTTONS!)
We’ll be heading out to Reading town centre again tomorrow with this hostel mates here tomorrow for a night out.
& might head out to Oxford if time permits (I hope!)
Really hope it’s gonna be another fun filled day tomorrow! Wee.

UK – after 17hours!
GREETINGS FROM UK!
After 14 horrible hours of flight & 3 lonely hours of transit at the Dubai airport, I’ve finally arrived at London yesterday afternoon.
Honestly, I still cannot really quite believe that I’m already here right now!
The feeling is totally indescribable – everything is happening way to quickly to take it all in.
But yes, I am here in UK now safe and sound & is with Buttons already.
The weather here has been really fine for these 2 days & everything is fabulous!
Buttons took the chance that it is weekend now, and brought me around quite a bit.
We visited some of the malls around Reading last afternoon & had a wonderful day trip around London earlier today.
We even took a ferry all the way to Greenwich and check out the freaking cool Royal Observatory Museum place where can actually stand on the Greenwich Meridian Line!
ZERO DEGREE LONGITUDE!
WAY COOL!
Anyway, here are just a couple pictures from our day trip around London today.
It is just a really broad overview of the bustling city, & I reckon we’ll be going back again next week.
I’m REALLY poor & can only travel pauper-style. HAHAHA.
Will make the best out of it anyway! Am sure there will be tons of fun doing it pauper style! :D
This is one of the gorgeous parks where people just laze around in the sun, Greenwich.
Still remember this one from our Vietnam trip? -YES! KISS NUMBER 2, the dead fish kiss.
HAHAHAHA!
This is all I have for you guys today but I promise that there will be more coming up REALLY SOON!
Probably on Monday when Buttons goes to school and I can blog all I want on this laptop because I didn’t bring any over.
So yups! Remember to check back for more updates!
There will also be another round of Sunday Advertorials tomorrow & it’s really an exciting entry tomorrow.
Don’t miss out on that too if you need some serious retail therapy! :)
UK
I know this is totally totally insane.
I just booked a ticket to UK last night.
And I’m flying there tomorrow night,
ALONE!

nemo.
I went Butterfactory for the first time on Wednesday.
WOW!
Now I can really understand why everyone is swarming there.
Very interesting place I’d say, but I feel like super lao ah mah there.
HAHAHA.
Anyway, thank you Miss Michelle Goh for bringing me there.
And also Cheryl who helped us beat the super duper fuber long queue.
Love you girls lots! ♥
I think I’ve really lost touch with all these clubbing stuff.
So I arranged to meet cousin, Desmond who is now in Singapore for vacation until September.
I think he misses Michelle very much too, so couldn’t wait but to ask her out also.
HAHAHA!
But good also lah. Because I miss her too.
We had a very good lunch and displayed ourselves as public nuisances in Bugis.
Desmond is really quite a character.
& can someone tell me how come everyone else has the chance to go UK (ahem) except me?
W H Y ?
Desmond left for his class gathering so Michelle & I went shopping before going for a drink.
Yes, in zouk.
But I left even before the crowd starting streaming in.
Went for ktv with my cousins and their friends.
Oh, I really love screaming into the microphone! :D
OH. & REALLY HEART MY HAIRBAND.
Especially that insane huge ribbon.
$10 from Diva, if you’re wondering.
Family gathering tomorrow.
Great news for me, because I’m actually desperately trying to keep myself as busy as possible when Buttons is not around.
I get all sucked into self pity and emo nemo loneliness when I’m left alone for too long.
I hope all that family gatherings will brighten up my days again!
Casio Makeup Function.
Still remember that I mentioned about Casio’s new functions built into their cameras?
Today, I’ll be sharing one of the functions I tried when I was in Vietnam! :D
It’s called the makeup function & it will totally rock your world if you’re one hardcore photoshopper!
This makeup function works like the cloning tool in Photoshop does; it blurs and smooths blemishes in a person’s face.
And because Casio cameras have the face detection function, this function works on top of that!
Face detection firstly brightens up faces in the shot, and the makeup function will go one step further by optimizing the focus and exposure to make the skin look smooth and soft.
I know you will never be convinced to see pictures taken from websites.
But check this out! The first picture is taken without any makeup function.
The face looks dull in color and blemishes on skin can be seen clearly.
But after switching on the makeup function, VOILA!
CHECK OUT BUTTON’S GREAT SKIN!
Other than that, any hard shadows, blotchy skin, and wrinkles will disappear
when the camera adjusts its settings and improves a person’s skin with a little photo magic!
With this function, “the skin looks clearer, younger and more natural in the pictures,” Casio spokesperson added.
There’s an IT fair coming up next week, remember to check out this function at the Casio booths!
The 2 models with makeup function & the dynamic photo functions are EX-S12 and EX-Z400!
i love my air supply.
I know just how to whisper,
And I know just how to cry.
I know just where to find the answers.
And I know just how to lie.
I know just how to fake it,
And I know just how to scheme.
I know just when to face the truth,
And then I know just when to dream.
And I know just where to touch you,
And I know just what to prove.
I know when to pull you closer,
And I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading,
And I know that time’s gonna fly.
And I’m never gonna tell you everything
I gotta to tell you,
But I know I gotta give it a try.
And I know the roads to riches,
And I know the ways to fame.
I know all the rules
And then I know how to break em’
And I always know the name of the game.
But I don’t know how to leave you,
And I’ll never let you fall.
And I don’t know how you do it,
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all.
Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair.
And every star in the sky is taking aim
At your eyes, like a spotlight.
The beating of my heart is a drum, and its lost
And it’s looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I’ve got to follow it, cause everything I know,
well it’s nothing till I give it to you.
I can make the run or stumble,
I can make the final block.
And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,
I can make all the stadiums rock.
I can make tonight forever,
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn.
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made,
And I can make all the demons be gone.
But I’m never gonna make it without you,
Do you really want to see me crawl?
And I’m never gonna make it like you do,
Making love out of nothing at all.
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all,
Out of nothing at all.
Trust.
It is 3:33am right now & 8:33pm there in UK.
I should be sleeping right now, but i’m not.
Buttons is having a nap over in UK though, at 8:33pm.
What is wrong with us? Haha.
Anyway, I just had a very interesting conversation with my cousin & Michelle online earlier.
As a matter of fact, I’m still feeling intrigued by what was discussed.
Looks like the issues between the sexes will never be ironed out, no matter how long.
The whole little debate started off because of one statement I made – “I generally don’t trust men.”
Honestly, I really have a problem when it comes to trusting people.
Men in particular.
Because I’ve seen too many fucked up men, and heard too many horrifying stories.
Of course, I cannot refute the fact that there are many fucked up women around too.
Growing up & being exposed to the fact that such things actually do happen,
and to know that such people actually exist is such an eye opener for me.
I have seen people two timing.
Heard of horrible stories about how girlfriends realized that their boyfriends have been visiting prostitutes.
Read about men who share their intimate sexual experiences (or photos!) online with strangers.
& I know of attached men who have fuck buddies.
Of course, I have to say again – that all these includes women too.
Inevitably, all these has probably made “TRUST” a harder thing to earn.
We all know that the whole guy-girl thing is based on trust, isn’t it?
Even my Primary 6 cousin can tell me that there is no point maintaining a relationship if there is no trust.
So what is trust?
I posed this question on facebook a couple days ago & someone said,
“Trust is the amber between red and green”
That actually makes a lot of sense to me.
But I know too, that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.
So I guess it’s much easier for the amber to flicker to the red side.
Oh well, I’m just ranting.
Nothing to do with Buttons, just in case if you’re wondering.
I miss Buttons & I love him.
And it definitely takes more than random rumours from random jealous bitches to get us down.
(I hope you get the drift)
Goodnight.
Happy birthday, Marilyn.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN MONROE
Today, 1 June, is Marilyn Monroe’s birthday.
Although she has already left this world for 47 years, her zeal and energy still remains.
& peggy totally loves her!
I did some Marilyn Monroe loving just now with my DVDs!
Hurhurhur.
I wonder if you’ve check out Button’s blog, but he has brought Tommy the tomato around UK!
I really hate to admit this – but I’m getting a little jealous.
He has been hanging out with this stressball more than me!
But seeing how Tommy sits proudly all around UK, it makes me really happy too.
It’s as if a part of me is travelling with him -
Because I’m sure he will be reminded of me everytime he whips Tommy out from his pocket! :)
But of course, Buttons & I been meeting up a bit as well.
Except that the 7 hour time difference between UK & Singapore isn’t helping at all.
I really hope this 21 days will whizz past quickly & we’ll be back in each other’s arms soon! :D
It’s less than a week & I’m already getting a few pressies.
I hope it doesn’t stop! HAHAHA.
I MISS YOU BUTTONS!
♥
fcuk campaign shoot.
I did an overnight shoot for Samuel couple months ago.
It was really fun to meet a lot of new friends, & have fun at the shoot together.
Sam sent me a couple pictures earlier and they were really cool!
THANKS SAM.
And yes, we really did that crazy thing @ Clarke Quay.
Sunday Advertorials.

I recognized my pretty friend, Jayne too!
*wolf whistles*

Check out the beautiful photos found on the website.
Of course – possible because of beautiful clothes and models.
I really like this! :)
Check out more of the affordable and gorgeous outfits from All Things Lovely.
I’m sure you’d love the clothes, models & photos as much as I do.
Afterall they are not called All Things Lovely for nothing! :)
♥
The next blogshop up this Sunday has got a really cute name – Gossip Parlour.
Well, I don’t know about you but this website is sure attractive to me!
Majority of their apparels were all brought in from overseas.
Say HELLO to exclusitivity at Gossip Parlour, comrades!
The model look really cute too!
I am so in love with this green dress!
The third blogshop featured this Sunday is something that delivers more simple apparels.
Delilah Muse has a website with a great layout which makes shopping oh-so-easy!
Delilah Muse is now having their very very first collection!
And with that, there will be a 30% off sale for it’s first relaunch collection in line with the GSS!
Unlike many other blogshops, Delilah Muse don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all policy.
They have spent many hours looking for clothes that come in multiple sizes to provide the best fit!
Delilah Muse would also like to offer all sixpegs readers an additional 10% off the invoice total if they use the discount code “SIXPEGS”.
OH HOW WE LOVE DELILAH MUSE!
♥
Last but not least, here is the final blogspot featured this Sunday night.
My cousin has launched her very own blogshop called lustmonday!
They called themselves lustmonday because this blogshop will have a collection EVERY monday!
As I have mentioned in my previous post, I have been roped in to help do the styling doing the photoshoots.
& also the marketing for the shop, erm & modelling too!
So I shall let the pictures do the talking!
The number cards held by the models is inspired by one of the 50 Gorgeous People photoshoot couple years ago.
And I’m totally loving it! :D
Freaking love this top!
So that’s all for you this Sunday night!
Happy shopping my girls.
07:32

lustmonday
WHOOPEE!
Look out for this, girls.
It’s my cousin’s website & she has put me in charge of the styling, marketing and website.
SO HERE IT IS! WOO!
www.lustmonday.com
Here, There and Everywhere.
To lead a better life I need my love to be here
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there’s something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn’t know he’s there
I want her everywhere and if she’s beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there
I want her everywhere and if she’s beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there
To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
Cám ơn, Vietnam.
The Vietnam – Ho Chi Minh trip has finally come to an end!
Although it was just a short 4 day trip,
Buttons & I had such a great time there.
The short break was much needed
for the busy Buttons before starting work proper.
Check out the rainbow outside the aircraft window.
It looks like a big, warm
WELCOME TO VIETNAM! ♥
It is the first time I’m travelling with Buttons.
Being a paranoid myself, I was pretty worried that we might end up in disagreements and big fights!
But fortunately, we didn’t & it ended up really well on the contrary!
We REALLY dig the Vietnamese rice noodles (Pho) because it tastes good with practically anything!
I’m like a super noodles person – SUPER LOVE IT!
So the first meal is at this growing Pho chain in Vietnam called PHO24.
What a good name because we can really eat it 24/7!
We stayed in the backpackers’ area called Pham Ngu Lao.
This street is littered with budget hotels, hostels & lots of eating places.
Buttons & I fell in love with this place right away – mostly because of the wide variety of food it offers.
AND GREAT COFFEE TOO.
What a colorful & bustling city Ho Chi Minh is!
We checked out the famous Ben Thanh Market on our first day there.
To my disappointment, this place sells mostly souveneirs & textiles (which I am not interested in).
The market is like the Chatuchak Market in terms of its layout, but WAY smaller.
The aisles are narrow and it can get really crowded at times!
I didn’t take much pictures there because it’s not exactly very pleasing aesthetically. HAHA.
Buttons LOVES getting souveneirs and little gifts – maybe that’s why all the vendors loved him!
There are a lot of budding artists there & they are damn good at duplicating famous art pieces!
Great place for people who loves cheap and pretty art pieces.
For a camera whore like me, I fell in love with the vibrant colors of the streets.
AND THE CHEAP BEER OF COURSE!
Our days there were pretty much only made up of feasts and beer blasts.
Oh! And we took a little tour around town on Cyclos on the second day too!
I’m really bad at bargaining so this is not exactly the best city for me.
I heart how friendly the Vietnamese are though.
While on the Cyclos, there were occasional Hellos, waves & smiles from the locals.
Those friendly gestures definitely warmed my heart a little.
The Cyclo rider commented that I look Vietnamese too. You think so?
HAHAHAHA!
That’s Buttons & I at the Reunification Palace in Ho Chih Minh City.
Huge palace with lots of pretty rooms in there.
Nothing much other than that.
Even the very-cultural Buttons thinks that it’s over rated. You can imagine.
Just look at Buttons yawning in one of the pictures below!
B O R I N G .
We continued trekking around town & went to the War Remnant Museum next.
And now we’re talking because this place is really freaky.
All you can see from this place are pictures from the Vietnam War – tons & tons of them.
I can feel that the Vietnamese are really quite against the Americans.
The war ended in the mid 1970s.
Doesn’t that mean that the second generation of these people are still living around us in Vietnam?
They described in details how gruesome & ruthless the Americans were during war.
And together with the photographs on display, they really made me a little sick in the pit.
My deepest impression of the museum was the dead foetuses on display.
But to be fair, I thought the whole view on the Vietnam War was a little one-sided.
Oh well, why do people go to war? Sigh.
ALRIGHT. NEXT UP!
We haven’t forgotten about our dear friend Tommy.
He is the luckiest tomato ever – to be able to travel from USA to Taiwan & now Vietnam.
In just a matter of days, Tommy will be heading to UK with Buttons.
LUCKY HIM. *frowns*
We FREAKING love this French Restaurant called Au Pare on Dong Khoi Road.
Day two was fabulous although we were all thrashed out towards the end of the day.
And cheap beer will never fail to make my day.
HURHURHUR!
Buttons & I set foot on the dusty Vietnam streets in our super Vietnam Nationalists attire on the 3rd day. :p
I love the red and yellow star on their national flag.
SO PRETTY!
We visited the American Army Market & got some pretty good buys there!
I’m loving my 3USD vintage spectacles & Buttons his 12USD old clock.
WE’RE SUPER UBER HAPPY KIDS! :D
@ Thien Hau Pagoda Temple in Cholon (Chinatown)
Stupid cyclo riders on our 3rd day attempted to cheat our money.
DAMMIT.
We thought they were just being really nice helping us with pictures & stuff.
Buttons & I bought drinks for them somemore. NBCB.
They brought Buttons & I to this massage place in town WHICH WAS SUCH A NIGHTMARE!
The place (called Sunflower in Clamette Street) looked empty and bare.
And we were instructed to strip & wrap ourselves with just a piece of white cloth.
We were then guided to beds that were just separated by white curtains - like those in hospitals!
The curtains weren’t exactly very shut properly & I was feeling really uncomfortable because there are men walking around.
Worse thing is, the massage REALLY SUCKED.
Seriously, I think I can do a better job than the masseur.
She really got NO FREAKING IDEA where the muscles are & is ALWAYS massaging the wrong place.
She cannot speak English for nuts.
And honestly, the massaging is more like caressing!
TWO WORDS – FUCKED UP.
I couldn’t take it anymore so I asked Buttons how his massage was while we were still at it.
And I wasn’t surprised when he commented that his sucked too.
It was the worst massage I’ve ever had and it ended before 60mins (it was supposed to be 60mins!)
But good for me too since it sucked so bad anyway.
As we were changing up, Buttons told me that the way the masseur touched him was really suggestive.
Rubbing him way up on his thighs, making him really uncomfortable too.
She was more like touching him more than massaging, & even asked him who am I to him sneakily!
And it didn’t helped at all because his masseur is this fugly old Vietnamese woman with really CMI makeup. (HAHAHA!)
& he added that the masseur asked for tips!
I WAS REALLY FUMING WHEN I HEARD THAT!!!
Expensive massage – NEVER MIND.
Fucked up ambience – NEVER MIND.
Massaging is like fuck – NEVER MIND.
Try to be funny with my boyfriend?! – N E V E R M I N D !
YOU STILL GOT THE CHEEK TO ASK FOR TIPS?!
We got out of the changing area (which was next to the main door separated by curtains!) & the masseurs started asking for tips.
I told them straight in the face that I didn’t like their massage at all & refuse to tip them.
Their face changed immediately when they heard that.
They said that we only have to tip a little for their service & the amount if up to us.
But I repeated that their massage is lousy and I didn’t enjoy it at all SO NO BLOODY TIPS!
And so, we left in a huff!
ANGRY!
People, please don’t go to this place when you’re in Ho Chi Minh unless you wanna have an all sexed up massage!
*BREATHES*
And with that, it concluded our last day in Vietnam.
Here is Buttons & I at the airport demonstrating our 4 kinds of kisses.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Bucked tooth kiss. Dead fish kiss. BJM kiss. Suction kiss.
Me rocking my new (old) spectacles from the Army Market.
Despite the cyclo cheats & fucked up sexed up massage, Vietnam has treated us well.
We love the energy Vietnam has and the different kind of charms it exudes during day and night.
THANK YOU VIETNAM!
Vietnam Trip.
HELLO SINGAPORE!
I am back from Vietnam at last.
The trip has been a really fruitful one for Buttons, Tommy & myself.
I am a little tired now from all the travelling, but here are some pictures to show you a bit about my trip!
Stay tuned for more tomorrow.
