And You Thought I Loved You

heh such a captivating headline i couldn’t help it

Some people love that i give my friends quirky names on my blog
Shaun  thinks they’re all like cartoon characters

MafiaMary hates it
“STOP calling me that on your blog!”
“Whyyyy”
“Cos everytime i meet someone new while partying they ask me why i’m called MAFIA Mary!”
“Because you *are* mafia, darling…”
“I’m NOT!”
*stamps feet*

And then after a week she gets afraid i might change it to something else like MaryBlinkABlink
“You’d better noTTT!!!!” she’s pretty loud sometimes
“I won’t la.” i reply boredly
“Good.”
“Yea… you don’t suddenly change names of brands do you? That’s just bad brand strategy if you’re not careful.”

And she thought i was just being nice to her
*nyuk* *nyuk*

Skippety All Around

It’s so easy for you all to tell whether i’ve been busy or not
If i’m busy with work, i’d be at home doing it, therefore blogging alot as well

If i’m having a leisurely week
Then i’m out 24/7

Hence lack of blogging kekeke

FINALLY kicked myself to go to the gym this week
Was all ready to whip out my pepper spray lest i see some psycho bloggerette…
I worked out my ass and thighs so fast i couldn’t walk properly after that

Went to Sungai Wang today with AshleyTheMonkey, FaiTheMai,, QueenKanch and Tarry
It is really the haven for strange quirky clothing at dropdead prices

My dear friend Sashmar called me to say we might be off to Koh Pangan mid-May
Please let this happen
Pleaseeeeeee
I need a holiday
(actually i’m lying)
I just want a holiday

Gonna dye my hair blackityblack now
It’s way beyond borderline jeng
I may like to feng….
But sure as hell i don’t want to look like an AhLian!

My AuntGerry from London just called
She hooked my cousin up to intern for Lulu Guiness
Lucky bitch!

I think it’s about time i got a full-time job so that i can hopefully get myself shipped off there in due time… since they’d rather i get some *real* work experience here first

omg James  is fat now bwahaha

Last Friday night party pics on Ash’s site


So I Turned Eight In Grace

So finally a proper tale of my 22nd Birthday celebration
The day that was my birthday  was spent mostly at home
The day after  i wasn’t very long-winded at all

I finally understand why AshleyTheMonkey  was going bonkers when i called her on my mobile to tell her that i’d prollie be late for my small dinner party

“Eh. The cabs are being a REAL BITCH today okay. I called the cab like an hour ago, they told me they’d come in 15 minutes, they didn’t, i called again, no choice la, waiting… i think i’ll be late for the dinner a bit since i’m going to work late”
“WHAT?! It’s SEVEN! Can’t you noT go?”
“WhAT?! Not go to work? You crazy ar. Who will do it la then.”
“Ask someone else to replace you la!”
“So last minute cannot la…”
“Why must the review be today? Why cannot tomorrow?”

I can’t remember what i answered her but i knew that i had to go
Not only was the cab late, but the driver was being a real prick as well

“KL Hilton… Sentral ya?”
“Ya ya”
*15 minutes later and the turning to KL Sentral flashing past us*
“Eh… where are you going? You missed the turning!”
“I know what i’m doing okay, you just relax!”

Okay fine
I have horrible direction sense
Ask EgoLouis  or AshleyTheMonkey
I come out of a bathroom in Sungai Wang even and boom i’m lost
I direct someone to The Curve and i miss the turnoff
So i decided to shut up and trust the stupid prick

2 minutes later i KNEW FOR SURE he was going the WRONG WAY

“You’re going the wrong way, really, Kl Hilton is BACK tHERE!” *points frantically at back*
“This is the right way okay. If you don’t like the way i drive you can get out.”
Fucker.
“You’re going to KL City! Kl Hilton is at Sentral Station which is BACK THERE!!!”
“Oh. Kl Sentral is it. Why you tak cakap?”

FUCKERRRRR I said it already TWICE upon getting into the cab
Whatthehell?!
Need to derma him cottonbuds is it!?


BWARGH.

Anyway work was alright bla bla bla
FoxyLisa came to pick me up from the hotel entrance after

We were supposed to pick MafiaMary up and rush to meet the others for dinner at Italiannis
We were late
Very late
The others were all already there (or so i thought)

“Hey come down, we’re almost there.”
“I don’t know what to wear!”
WHat?! We’re late! Just throw something on!”
“I really dunno what to wear! Can you come up please? Just help me pick something out real quick!”
“Mary. We’re LATE. Ash they all have been waiting for half an hour! We don’t have time!”
“It’ll be really quick… pleaseeee… Pleaseeeeeeee…”
“omg la. Must you do this today?!”
“PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”
” ……. “
“pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseeeeeeeee!”
*grumblemumble*
*sigh*
“O k a y.”

FoxyLisa and i took the lift up to her apartment
I complained that MafiaMary was being a real brat with timing
The lift doors slid open unnoticed by me
I was still stoning
Then i realised…
Isn’t that Ash and Dave…. 0_o
My reaction was damn slow
Hmm yes that looks like them wait they shouldn’t be here…
I still stared at them as the lift doors slid close
FoxyLisa was like, “Oi!” and held out a limb to keep them open

I stepped out gingerly

To absorb a whole line of close friends beaming back at me

I can’t comprehend why i was SO BLUR then
I kept on gasping when i saw different faces
The word ‘Surprise!’ was a few seconds slow but smiles were all around
Apparently everyone had been waiting for quite long!
I hugged everyone and couldn’t fucking believe i had had another surprise party  thrown for me

Totally didn’t expect or guess for fairies!
Prollie due to the fact i was so busy with work the whole week and didn’t notice anything!

“Are you shocked? Were you surprised?”
“Yeaaa!”
“I would have thought you would be better at guessing after doing this two years in a row!”
“Erm… no…. bwek!”

Thank you to everyone who came…

even more so to those who toiled and suffered under the Monkey and Mafia’s wrath
tee hee
But really…
I know what you all did, and i’m crazytouched

The BBQ-ed chicken and lamb was awesome… thanks to PassedOutBen
& LaughingLoga - who surprised me by taking an early flight back *hugs*
I wish i could eat more but was running around talking instead

FoxyLisa likes the machoness exuding forth from RyanMukati…. *puke*
LaughingLoga was damn proud of his lamb, he was
According to Mary and Ash, POB and him were having this War Of Manliness on who could get the whole BBQ going

Wow…i just noticed, the size of his eyes are TWICE of mine, and he’s a tad further away from the cam too! *phwoar*

Then MafiaMary carried out the ice-cream cake with many colourful bits on it!

The kick-ass thing is they LAYANED my I-Am-Seven-Turning-Eight Delusion
and put eight candles on my cake!
How AWESOME is that!!!
*squeals like in Clueless*

Thanks for skipping your band  practice Mooky 

They made me change into my bikini top and mafia jeans before throwing me into the pool
How did they get my bikini top there beforehand?
MafiaMary said she wanted to borrow them for something
All these con jobs i tell you…. heh

Ash told me this conversation Mary and her had a few days before
“Oh shit. I told Joyce i wanted to borrow her bikini for something on Monday.”
“So?”
“It’s Tuesday and i haven’t taken it from her yet!”
“Haiya just tell her a different story, she won’t remember wan i tell you.”
“Heeheehee”

They were right, i didn’t    -_-

I dilly-dallyed and tried avoiding the whole hooha
But Edwin chucked me in in the end

We did a quick clean-up after that to pop by Ghetto’s 1st Anniversary Party
Those pics up later

I didn’t

go partying on Saturday night
Everyone is amazed and caught off-guard
I just didn’t feel like it
The most surprising thing about me when i’m depressed is that i have no urge to drink
I know right,
Joyce doesn’t want to drink?
Call the hospital somebody

Just thinking about a glass in front of me makes me want to reach my hand out and slowly push it away

Quite the contradiction to other people who head straight for the bars/bottle when they’re blue, isn’t it

I remember forcing myself to go out when upset before
And i do drink
But i just sip a bit here and there and go home feeling as if going out had no difference on anything and everything sucked and could go down the drain for all i fucking care including the alcohol

In my opinion it’s obviously better if i don’t drink when depressed
So that then i don’t end up doing anything dramatic and tragic
Isn’t that true?
Of course then it occurs to you that the reason i drink so much is cos i’m usually ecstatic…

  

It sucks being in an okay mood
Listening to emo chinese songs and then stumbling onto your thoughts

My Contribution To Human Research

I never realised that people associate me so closely to alcohol till i got this message on Friendster the other day…

Hey Joyce
Hey, this is - - - - -, remember me?

Anyway, i need your help with my Marketing
Assignment. Im doing Binge drinking, (what the fuuuu….!!!) basically
ways to counter binge drinking as marketers and
current issues on binge drinking.
Well, from your blog, i found out that u love to drink
bla bla and u take pictures of alcohol etc, i know
it sounds lame =) and i dont mean that u binge
drink but i was hoping that u could let me interview
u and maybe ’steal’ some of the pictures u took.

When i read it
I was like
DAMN
I’m getting famous for the WRONG reasons

And THEN
In the same week, i got this sms all the way from Ryan  in London

“Workin in England is the fucking bliss… 2500 pounds of booze over a team building meet for 20 people! You should be here! Joyce fuckin central!”

Joyce fucking central ey…
I’m actually trying to lower my alcohol intake
Yes yes please wipe that shocked look off your face…
If FreckledAdam  can try to quit smoking
I’m sure i can do the same…

…if i stopped partying

 

……………

 

Joyce stop partying?

You must be shitting me

As if there held a funeral
Did my tears flow
Last i remember
Was twelve years ago

How much i cried
You did more
How swollen my eyes were
You hid more
How long you prevented everything
You did more
Who loved the other more
You do more
Who hurt more
You did

I wish it all didn’t happen
Yet you said you did
