In secondary school, Pei Shi was often bullied, both online and in real life.[1] In a sharing with the female-centric publisher ZULA, Pei Shi mentioned that she was the target of bullies due to her quiet nature and small size. Her blog was first used as a platform to express her emotions but it eventually developed into a large part of her career.[2] Pei Shi is the middle child with an older brother and a sister 5 years younger than her.[3] In 2015, she graduated with a diploma from Republic Polytechnic.[4]


Pei Shi is close friends with Mediacorp artists, Jayley and Hayley Woo and blogger Rachell Tan. In 2016, they filmed a parody video for “Why”, a K-Pop song by Taeyeon of Girls’ Generation.
