Collection 45 :)

Sorry for the long long hiatus! I didn't even manage to blog for the previous collection because I have been so so so so busy! Have been meeting up with my friends almost everyday and doing random stuffs every night. I love meeting my friends like this and before I know it, I'll be returning back to Melbourne on the 24th! Urgh how time flies.... My camera batt died on me and the brilliant me left my charger back in Melbourne so I stopped taking pictures quite a bit. Mehhhhh. I will blog more about my first two weeks spent in Singapore after this post okay! :)

So, we will be launching a new collection this coming Friday! Am so stoked to launch it 'cos I love all the colors featured in this collection! Roped in Chantelle for the shoot together with Zoe this time round (you'll see more of Zoe in later collections) and it was mega fun in the studio! I kept laughing non-stop and I'm glad the three of us hit it off well! :D

There's 3 manufactured pieces in this collection, together with some imported stuffs whooopeeedoooo! :D

Floral skirt in green or purple! Material is made of chiffon and is lined but won't be hot! Perrrrrrfect for the hot weather over here! The top that Zoe's wearing is yet another manufactured piece that will be featured below.

Tiered Chiffon Top that comes in 4 pretty colors: Red, Pink, Mint and Cream! It's something like a basic piece that could go well with anything! Shorts, jeggings, skirts, or even long bandage skirt for your work. I kept the one in red and cream!

3/4 maxi dress with contrasting piping and a pocket at the left chest. I super mega love this because it's so comfy and it's lined so it will definitely not be sheer. It's racerback and this piece is a joint collaboration with Red Poppiez once again! Mustard is our own exclusive color :) Last but not least, chiffon blazer with contrasting sleeves! You can choose to fold up the sleeves or leave it as it is. The folded up part that's of a different color is made of satin. Comes with pocket as well! I kept all colors while Chante took the Orange! I hope you girls will love this yummy collection! There's 2 more designs that I didn't feature over here, so hop over to our Facebook page to view them!

C42 Preview

Meh mehhhh. I just took out 3 of my wisdom teeth (yes it's cheaper here and the surgeon is so professional I was done within 20 mins!) on Saturday and it hurts quite a bit now. Just finished the last of my painkillers and I hope the pain stops tomorrow.. Anyhow, I've been eating well despite the pain, haha IKR I even thought I could diet thanks to the teeth. But no, I even had a cheeseburger today. Just that I took longer than usual (like 45 mins?) to finish up the burger without the top bread.

Okay! Been long since we updated, here's a little preview of what's coming up on Friday, 7PM!

I've deactivated my Facebook so I can't put up preview photos over there. Yes I actually forgot about the SIX&TWELVE FB page when deactivating, so sorry girls! :(

We've got with us a cross back dress in FIVE colors this time round! I drew this design out myself and had a hard time telling my supplier what I want. So thankful that she's so patient with me and after having about 5 samples for this piece, we finally got what we want! :)

Comes in Navy, Peach, Mustard, White and Mint! I love all the colors! Will just preview 3 of them okay!

I know the bust area looks different from the tummy area.. That's because I got my supplier to line the bust area so that it won't be so sheer, and for girls who like to wear darker colored bras. Coupled with the lighting and all, that's why there's like 2 tones! But you can't see it from the mustard and navy yea? I love the mustard the most! And the peach! :)

A couple of work dresses! Will be pricing them at super affordable prices like the last time round.

I love the back of this! Does not come with inner tube though, so you gotta wear your own!

And lastly, a ruffled color splash tube dress in 2 colors! Zonia bagged the blue one home and I'm secretly in love with the white one. Teehee. :)

Hope you girls love this collection, cos I do! We'll be having maxi-s coming up! Our first! Stay tuned to find out more okay! :)

Have a great week ahead, and see you girls on FRIDAYYYY!

A Filler

Hello everyone who're still reading this blog of mine! I just finished two papers today *heave a sigh of relief*! And they're both killer papers: Acctg and business law. So so glad that I'm done with them and I'm just crossing my fingers for the results, else I wouldn't be able to overload next sem. :( Dear Zoe wished me good luck today and the papers were not as hard as I expected haha! I now have about 10 days to study for my next and last paper and I cannot wait! Loads to do after my last paper: clean the house, pack my luggage, bake some cupcakes, get my crumpler, get havis for my girls etc etc. After which I'll be heading homeeeee. You don't know how glad I am to be able to go home. ~.~

Anyway, I haven't been able to sleep these days. It's like, I will spend 3 hours tossing and turning in bed before I finally drift to sleep and then wake up after 2 hours? And spend some more time tossing and turning again. I never had such a problem because the moment I hit my pillow, I will drift to dreamland at the count of 3. So this is really really torturous for me :( anyone knows how I could get to sleep easily other than sleeping pills? I really need some good sleep.. Take last night for example, I only had like 2 hours of subconscious sleep before my paper at 9AM. Am so so so so tired now, but I'm gonna wait till I really feel damn tired before I hit the sack.

Will be taking out my 3 wisdom teeth tomorrow. Ahhhh say Hi to my diet! Tahaha, a good time to start dieting before returning home because I know that I will definitely binge on food! I hope the pain won't be that great though.. *crosses fingers

These days, I've been feeling rather moody and emotional. A small matter could just get to me and make me upset for the whole day/week. Sigh. I hope it's just the exam period making me feel this way because I'm always stuck at home and all. Yea I even deactivated my Facebook because I was upset for the whole week. Sheeesh. I need to cheer up really soon! >:(

Alright, it's Friday and I hope everyone's having fun with their weekends. Have a great one, and to those who're studying too, hang in there! :)

One paper down!

Hello!!!

I am finally done with my OB paper, and am so so so so glad that it's over! This paper marks the start of my exams and yet it feels like it has ended 'cos I feel so liberated after the damned OB paper! Never have to deal with OB again!!! Although it's quite an interesting subject but the workload is CRAZYYYY.

Gotta start mugging for my accounting and law paper on Friday. YES TWO papers on Friday, back to back! AHHH and then I'll be plucking out THREE wisdom teeth on Saturday morning. 815AM. How am I gonna get up!! Gosh. But I really really cannot wait for Friday to arrive. It'll mean that 3 out of my 4 papers are completed and done with!! One step closer to home!

My supplier sent me pictures of samples yesterday and I love these upcoming manufactured pieces!!!! LOADS of chiffon!! There's this polka dotted dress that comes in baby pink and baby blue, and one of the fabric has hearts prints all over! I love it so much, coupled with the m-shape at bust and a little peekaboo at the back. So gonna keep one for myself. & another high collared top that's good for work and casual wear, ahhh you girls just HAVE to see it! & this tiered chiffon top that comes in my current favorite color whoooooop! Teehee, can't wait to get back home! Have just submitted new designs for manufacturing, I hope they will turn out nice because some of them are drawn by me! Am not a design student to begin with, so this is really quite a big step taken forward.

Xx days to home! Have got so many things planned out to do teeeheee. Can you feel my excitement!

Alright, a few pictures here, taken when I'm bored from studying haha.

Okay I know right, can camwhore with my cup/tumblr.

Counting down to home!! Have a great week ahead!!

Those of you who're mugging too, all the best for exams and hang in thereeeeeee! :]

OTDs

Am taking a break from studying, so I've decided to do a filler post up here.

My life's so boring, revolving around studying studying and only studying. Cuzzie and I have been watching this HK drama for a few weeks, and we just watched the last episode today. It's SO GOOD and I can't stop thinking about it! Ahhhh go google No Regrets, it's in those WWII era though. I rate it full stars, so go watch it if you're into HK dramas!

Hmmmm, I havent been taking much photos and the only photos I have are my OTD. Which is.. quite a lot? Haha I reckon you won't see much of people wearing thick clothings, long sleeves, boots or scarves in Singapore yea, so I tend to take pictures of what I wear from time to time. There's a lot of mixing and matching when it comes to winter, so yeapppp it def. tests our creativity juices?

They're gonna be priced very very affordable, esp for you students! :] If you'd want to know how our pricing will be like, do stay tuned for the upcoming collection, I promise I won't disappoint you girls :)

Some pictures to expect what's coming up on Thursday!

Basic Ruffled Sleeves Tank Top

Lovingly Manufactured by SIX&TWELVE

- in Yellow, Magenta, Turquoise and Navy

Back of top is racerback, and can be slightly sheer due to it being chiffon material. But it's super comfy when worn, especially in SG's weather (which I know is burning hot yea?)! Personally love the Yellow and Turquoise a lot, 'cos they seem so cheery!

What's special about this is that there are ruffles all along the hems, even at the back! Love how casual it is at the same time too. Tuck them into a pair of shorts or pair them with jeans and you'll be good to go!

Uneven Hem Spag Top

Lovingly Manufactured by SIX&TWELVE

- In Blue Floral, Pink Floral, Ballerina and Colorful Pumps

Another casual piece that's good for students, and comes in four different prints! I love love how flowy it is and it's a basic that you really need to have! Straps are adjustable and material is light-weight. We have it in ballerina prints and colorful pumps too, so stay tuned to find out how they look like during the launch! :)

Tiered Chiffon Top

Exclusively Imported by SIX&TWELVE

- In Rose and Sea Green

Another staple that every girl needs in their wardrobe is a chiffon top. Moreover, this one has tiers that makes you look slimmer as it elongates the body! Pair it with a high-waisted skirt for a more formal look! :)

Peter-pan Collared Dress

Exclusively Imported by SIX&TWELVe

We love how the collar and pocket trimmings contrast with the basic grey of the dress!

How not to love this dress when it's so cutesy and irresistible?

We've still got plenty of stuffs for this upcoming launch - total of 17 items! Teehee check out the Facebook page for more previews of the items okay! Will post them up here and then, so like the page to get the first-hand updates yea! :)

Do you ever..?

Today marks the last day of my first semester here in Uni Melb. Can I just say that time really flies this year? Somehow or other, June's coming, which meant that almost of the year has zoomed past without me really realizing.

Lots happened while I was here in Melbourne, and while there are certainly dramas and things that happened that made me really sad, I'm just glad that I came here. Among all the things that I've learnt during my short stay here, the most valuable thing that I've taken away from this stay is that:

One must never, ever take things for granted.

People usually only come to treasure things when they lost it, or can't have it. It's true isn't it? Things that I usually take for granted back in Singapore, are not available here in Melbourne and it makes me treasure my life back in Singapore even more. Including the people I've left behind.

I was out running errands yesterday, and of all the things I need to get, I have to get uniball pens for my exams as the current ones I have are running out of ink. So I was rummaging through every bookstore or stationary shop that I can find, and they just don't stock the kind of pens I want. You know the usual 0.38 pens that so many of us are using? Yeap they don't have it. The closest I found was a 0.7 one which costs me AUD3.50, which is about.. SGD4.80?

And then there are things like food. You can't find fish soup or carrot cake like you did in hawker centers. Even if you can find a good plate of chicken rice, it'll be about AUD9 - AUD12. Portion is big yes, but I can't even finish it! Haha and then there'll be times where you'll feel so hungry in the middle of the night, but there isn't anywhere where you can just pop by and have supper like Bedok 85 and Punggol Nasi Lemak. Movies here can costs up to a whopping AUD20, and 3D glasses are not free, you have to buy them! Oh and street lamps. The streets here are not as well lit as back in Singapore, so I usually avoid going out at night. When you go grocery shopping, don't expect to be able to find things in the market that you do back in Singapore. Like when I was looking for lotus roots, they're only available in frozen packs in the Asian grocery store. & simple things like B&J ice creams are not available in supermarkets, only some shops which has the B&J fridge. Same goes for Haagen Daaz ice creams. When shopping for eggs in Melbourne, be sure to open up the box and check if they're broken. High chance is you'll find some cracks here and there, or only half an egg looking back at you.

You won't be able to find cosmetics brands like Laneige, Ettusias and all, so I've gotta stock up everytime before I come. Pads here can cost up to AUD9 a pack, so yea you get the drift.

It's the little things like these that I've experienced, that made me treasure Singapore so much more. I often hear people complaining how boring Singapore is. Well, true to an extent but isn't the quality of time spent what people always emphasized? You can always go on a short trip, miss home and come back.

Nothing will beat being back at home, trust me.

Then I thought of how I took my friends for granted too. They're always just a phone call away for supper or for clubbing, or just to watch a movie or shopping in town. You can always expect them to say okay let's go! While I'm here in Melb, I miss my friends truckloads although I do have friends here too. But it's just different. It's more of how you grew up with your friends back in sec school or poly that makes it so much different. People here are nice too, but once your tut is over, you'll just say goodbye and meet the next week. Some hang out with you and all, but the ones who stay and make you feel comfortable are usually those that you know back in sec school or before you came to uni. I guess it's the same back in Singapore, just that your friends are always within reach or just a phone call away.

We take things for granted, ALL THE TIME. It might be so with your boy/girlfriend, or with your family. Truth is, we're all living in too much comfort back in Singapore. Start opening your eyes wide and look around, to see if you'll actually miss anything when you leave this small island for say a few months.

You'll be surprised. ;)
