A filler post!

The weather has been really really crazy over here in Melbourne. It was all sunny and hot, just like in Singapore (I even had to switch on the air-con!), early this week, then it started to rain like crazy from Thursday onwards. I never fail to fall sick when I was drenched in the rain, and no prizes for guessing who had a fever for two days and had is still suffering from a blocked & runny nose (yes this can happen okay!), sore throat, bad cough and a drowsy spinning head.

Ahhhhh~ and the doctors here don't usually give you medicines? They believe in self-healing, sort of. & if they do give you prescriptions, it'll be panadols. So I didn't even bother wasting my time going down to see one, we even had to make an appointment if we want to see him okay.

But happy thing is, I'm finally left with one last assignment for the semester! But it constitutes 50% of my grades, so I'd better do it well. The subject's on Classic Chinese Civilization, and people always laugh at me when they know that I'm doing this. But hey, it's really interesting to know all these Confucius, Mencius theories, as well as why the statues of women were being undermined in ancient China. Thinking of doing more Asian Studies subjects, but that'll have to wait till I get my grade for this.. haha!

& I'm going for Dim Sum with my girls later! Sooooo excited for it, I can't wait to lay my hands (and sink my teeth into) Liu Sha Bao(s) WOOHOOOO! I will definitely take loads of pictures to beautify my blog with, teehee!

Oh &, we won't be launching any new collections this week. Because 1) I'm busy with assignments and catching up with my schoolwork to prepare for exams and 2) well I went overboard with launching the collections and didn't have enough pieces to launch every week till I get back to SG. Guilty as charged. But I've just submitted about 20 designs to my supplier for manufacturing, and there's still a few more that I haven't drafted out 'cos it's still stuck in my head, like you know bits and pieces of it..

So anyone reading this could e-mail us at sales.sixntwelve@gmail.com if you have any designs that you'd want us to manufacture! Would be very happy to receive these e-mails 'cos we want to know what our customers want or are thinking! :)

Okay, abrupt ending to my post. Have a good what's-left-of-your-weekends! :)

Collection 54! :]


Hello hello! Just received the banner for the next collection via dropbox and I love it! Especially the cursive font for SIX&TWELVE~! Metta is a genius, and she's so so efficient, totally love working with her!

So we'll be launching the next collection on Wednesday, 12PM with 3 manufactured designs!




Took me a long time to get this design right because of the flap in front. Super love the material 'cos it's soooo soft to the touch and Shuhua kept the one in buttercream for her upcoming internship! My sis wanted the black and dear mummy wanted the duke blue as well! Zoe also complimented the blazer teehee~

It's super versatile given that you could wear it to work/internship/presentations, or just wear it over your usual spag top + shorts. Best thing is that it's not thick such that you'll perspire when wearing it outside, given SG's super hot weather!



Another casual top for those who're still schooling! It's a slouchy boxy top that's super comfy, and comes in pink, navy, burnt orange and peach. Okay I know the peach & burnt orange looked similar, & to cut a long story short, it's due to the factory getting the wrong color for us and all the yada but we've decided to just keep it 'cos it looks really nice IRL. The lighter peach goes well with denim shorts (especially faded ones) and the darker orange goes well with black jeans and whatnots! :)


Last but not least, my favourite of all has got to be this dress! Not only does it come with contrasting piping (it's lined too so it won't be sheer), I'm totally digging the cross back design! Super excited when I saw the sample because I thought it'll make the design look too complicated, but it didn't! So here's a picture of the back:



Do you like it? :D

Okay that's all I have for today, so excited for the launch on Wed!
See you girls at the launch!! :)

Foodie post!


Since I'm back in Melbourne, I've been feasting on good food every other day! There's this new Taiwanese cafe that's just opened in the city, and everyday I walk past it, it's packed to the brim! So we decided to go try it out, and all I can say is that, it definitely makes me wanna fly to Taiwan at that very moment. Such good fooooood~








& we headed to North Melbourne last weekend to have breakfast! I actually managed to climb out of bed at 8AM to prepare and tram down with my two girls. This place is really special 'cos it's situated right at the tram station. Get out of the tram, and you'll see this!

And the place overlooks a horse range or something? Reminds me of Rider's Cafe back in SG.









Surprisingly nice hamster food~


& Dim Sum yesterday 'cos I was craving for my liu sha bao after looking through my HK photos for the xth time.









Headed off for a project meeting after dim sum and the first thing my friend had to ask me was "Tonight want go club?"
So there goes my plan of not clubbing in Melbourne~

But it was so fun last night!!!!!11!!!! Awesome music, great company who'll go crazy with you. What else can I ask for?

It'll be the BEST if my bros & sis back in SG could join me in clubbing here in Melb. It's so so so much different and I'm sure they'll love it loads!







Mum whatsapped me this morning to ask if we wanna go on a holiday. AM SO SO EXCITED FOR IT!!! I hope we can go!!!! Not gonna say where first in case I jinx it HAHA!

Okay time for me to get started on my 1 out of 4 more assignments.
Week 10 is over, few more weeks back to home~~~~

Be good people! :)

Collection 52~


I just have to blog about this!! Gotten a girl to do up the banner for the new collection, and I'm super in love with it! But first, gotta thank you girls for all the e-mails that you've sent to us to apply for the "position", am truly appreciative of it!

So, for a very long time, I haven't been blogging about our collections. Guilty as charged.

Here's the pretty banner!




See! It's really so pretty right!? I can't help staring at it every now and then 'cos I really love it, haha! I hope you girls do too!

By the way, Shuhua is back with us on the team! We had a super fun time in the studio the other day, and am looking forward to more shoots with these girls!

Some pictures from the shoot~ (I look very cui 'cos I've only clocked in max 3 hours of sleep everyday due to the new shipments)





So now, our models are mainly Zoe, Chante & Shuhua. Nope not gonna change anymore, I'm happy with the three of them! I hope you girls are loving the new look and change too yeap!

Am thinking of doing outdoor shoots for our lookbook and all, but that's gonna wait till I come back from Melbourneeeeeee.

Okay that aside, new collection will be up tomorrow, 12PM (SGP time)! Super excited to launch this collection 'cos my favourite skirt's in it!


Embroidery Top with tassle rope front in mustard & black, comes in super limited quantities 'cos it's imported. But it's so pretty right! Have got friends asking me to keep some pieces for them but had to reject them 'cos there's not enough to go around... :(

And we've got the skirt in 5 awesome colors! Fav being the burnt orange, mustard, khaki. Black is a staple that goes with anything and blue is so school-girlish! & that's our Pussybow Mesh Top in white & navy, awesome for presentations or when paired with shorts. Looks great with jeans too!!


2 other colors for the Pussybow Mesh Top, and a new color for our Asymmetrical Ruffle Side Top in Purple. I love this color the most!!! Other than the cream~ Stocked in more quantities for this design than usual, that's why you see it still available on the site.

& we've brought in the MNG inspired jeggings in blue & black again. Super awesome comfy jeggings! If you owned the acid-washed ones, you're gonna love this even more!

Okay that's all I have for you girls today, superrrr excited to launch this collection wheeeepeeeeedoooooo~
Have a great week ahead! I know Singapore's been pouring like crazy, so indulge in a little shopping to cheer yourself up? ^^

A blogpost for all the singles out there.

I just came home from an impromptu trip to the city to get bubble tea from CHATIME and some grocery shopping. & we came home with 3 tubs of ice creams, whooopeeedoooo! Anyway, I've been drafting out this post for a really long time inside me, but haven't really got the time to write about it and post it up. So, here goes..

I've been single for the past half a year or so, and I haven't really spoken about how I felt about it. Initially I was handling it well, then it suddenly struck me that there's nobody to fuss over me, be concerned about me now and then, to randomly text to knowing that there'll be a reply within the next 10 mins, to skype over with, to rant and complain to whenever I want to and knowing that he won't find me irritating and so on and on. Sometimes I feel lonely at night, sometimes I feel sad when I know that a hug isn't within reach. Then slowly, I realize that all these aren't needs. They are just things that I've grown accustomed to during the relationship.

I'm someone who needs a lot of space, and loves being alone. I LOVE shopping alone, eating alone, studying alone and walking aimlessly around town alone. I get to do things at my own pace, not care about whether the person I'm with is bored or something, all I need to make sure is that I'm happy. & then I slowly find this old me back. I really love being single, and being so carefree. I could go dating with anyone I want, and if I don't like him, we could just be friends. Relationships aren't really THE most important thing in our lives, although it occupy a huge one in some. I just feel that we should sometimes give more time to our family, and even friends around us.

I have friends who feel very alone because they feel unwanted. If you're feeling this way, I'm telling you, don't. If you don't love yourself first, who's gonna love you? & I also know of people who always dresses up to impress people, especially people of the opposite sex. Isn't it tiring? & should someone really fall for you for your appearance, won't the relationship be a tad too superficial? & you'll find yourself always wanting to keep up with this physical appearance thing, trying to look good every time you guys go out, always checking out the mirrors etc. I won't want to be in a relationship like that. I want to be comfortable, be my true self. I want to be able to burp out loud, or even fart in-front of the guy I really like and laugh over it, eat whatever I like even if it stinks like smelly toufu, and laugh out loud at something really funny in the movies. Wouldn't you want something like that too?

What I'm trying to say is that, sometimes we're all trying too hard, we lose ourselves. I've always felt that people fall in and out of relationships just because we haven't really found the right person, and God has His way to teach us how to love. We fall in love, and out of it to learn, and through learning, we become better lovers in our next relationships. You don't need to be in a relationship to look cool or accepted in your clique; you'll never know who else is jealous of your singlehood and would kill to be in your shoes.

And lastly, love will come knocking on your door when you least expect it. So, just be yourself and it'll come looking for you. :)

Spring Break in SG & HK!


I am such a lazy blogger~
So, my 3 week spring break in SG has officially came to an end (in fact, I'm back in Melbourne for a week already) and it's the crazy period where I have to rush out my assignments. Done with 2, and I still have 4 more to go, on top of one informal presentation. Ahhhhh~ Just gotten my exam timetable too, and it's not too shabby. Will be back in SG in no time too!!1!!!!1 CANT'T WAIT.

It's a saturday night and I'm at home, just done with 2 webcasts of my lectures, and gonna start on my assignment in a bit. Sigh~ Missing the "holy trinity" I had in SG with my havoc girls @laoniang and @qklkerrie hahahaha!

Some pictures below!

Arrived in SG on a Thursday and met Dan on a Sat! Drove over to visit my dearest girl from town. She looked like she's aged a little, but still running around like a lively hyperactive girl!


& I didn't tell anyone about me reaching SG because I had a mission on hand! That's to surprise my birthday girl @laoniang ahhahah and it was a success! I just popped out from nowhere and hugged her from behind, and she was literally screaming in the restaurant. -.-

But we all had a great time, don't we?! :D :D :D


Then it was my HK trip with my bro and cousin. Yes that's my little brother, not some new boyfriend yea. haha!


AWESOME FOOD THAT I MISSS!!!!!!



OH and we were super in love with the agnes b cafe and all-in-one store at IFC mall. You could find all the sub-brands of agnes b inside: agnes b femme, voyage, homme, sports b and whatnot. They even have the kids line there!


Here's the chocs that we got from the cafe, super awesome!



& the start of my "holy trinity", HAHA!
it was just me and @laoniang against the world that night, and coincidentally bumped into jsheng at the bridge, HAPPY MAX!! :D

& see, I've been a good girl who wears sneakers to clubs. No more heels for me 'cos it's so bad for my knees.


& a meet up with my DNA! :D :D
followed by "SMURFS" afters. It was a smurfing awesome night.


& dinner at seafood paradise with my family! Too bad my elder sis wasn't there, could have taken a full family photo to display as my phone's wallpaper. :(


Second round of clubbing on LADIES' NIGHT! We hopped over to butter from zouk and back to zouk again. What a fun night!!! & Dan brought Cla along, what a pleasant surprise!!!!


Teeeheee, many of my favourites there that night :)



& guess what, saw more familiar faces at wine bar, and it turned out to be a small RMT gathering there, haha!! UBER HAPPY MAX! :D


Didn't have pictures from my third clubbing night, but it was all fun and good~ Am missing that rainy night already.

I can't wait to go back home again!!! This time for a good one and a half months.

Be good people, till I come back again!! <3
