NOBODY CALL ME


When i’m overseas next time!!!

I KNOW that *i* pay for a call when someone calls *me* when *i’m* overseas.

BUT I DIDN’T THINK IT’LL COME UP TO RM500!!!

AUGHHHH!!!!!

I went to Bangkok for 5 measly days and my abroad calls came up to
FIVE
FREAKING
HUNDRED
RINGGIT

“You know, with 500, you could buy so many other things…. like 10 bottles of Malibu for example,” Daddy said flatly
“Can you not… compare it with alcohol?!” i moaned back in distress

500 bucks
500 bucks can buy me damn alot of things
500 bucks i could go for a holiday nearby and not think twice
500 bucks could cover my accomodation and ticket for the Rainforest Musicfest
500 bucks i could buy more alco for my party
500 bucks i could decorate my whole room with fairy posters
500 bucks Ash can buy two and half pair of Levi’s
500 bucks can buy Kanch all her eye creams and masks
500 bucks buy Kevin 12 CDs

But no
That 500 bucks was because i listened to Smellie tell me what video games he played with TL and Jo while i was away

*bangs head*

Exactly a year ago, Joyce went for the Prodigy concert with the mai, the monkey and co.
*click*

White & Pastel

This was at the Paul Smith Spring Summer fashion show last week @ Frangipani

Oh my Lord!
Never in my LIFE have i seen Kuachee so smart!
I usually see him in some outrageous outfit like… a diving suit

When i saw the band, i stood there and gawked at them for a good half minute
They were each decked in Paul Smith (which they had to return aww)

You know your band is really something when you’re asked to play at a Paul Smith event
Restecp.

Juji’s one of the new hosts for X-Fresh too

Ugh, it’s the material okay.
The material is making me look…. chunky.
I’m not chunky.

Now, the pug… the pug is chunky
Maybe we can change your cartoon name to
ChunkyPugKevin


The Devil Took Over

My mobile phone buzzed
Olivia Newton John’s voice rang through the air

You better shape up, cos i need a man!
And my heart is set on you…

I picked it up

“Hey baby, did you just wake up?”
“No..! I’ve been up and about for two hours plus.”
“What did you do?”
“Oh i went to Mont Kiara to drop off some pictures, then i went into a shop… and something weird happened… i lost my memory!”
“Really? What happened?”
“I don’t know! I forgot what happened! Next thing you know, i was walking out with a paperbag…”
“Really…” 
“Uh-huh *fake worried little girl voice* …” 

Rhapzody’s on sale
I saw the sign outside:

Super Sale 70%

Which also equals to


Super Evil 70%

Because usually, i’m very angelic

*hears choking and coughing all around*

I am!
I stayed in all of Sunday to do work
And usually budget my spendings maturely
It’s just that when gorgeous dresses and chic tops from Australia and Singapore go for half price less or more…

All sense and rationality flies out the window.

It’s like, the angel part of me dwindles and decreases in size to 30%
And the devil grows to 70% - taking control of me, making me sift through the racks of colourful fabrics slowly (when actually it’s all crazy-like inside) and deftly chucking tiny AngelFairyThing out the window through my ear

After my guilty purchases, i headed straight to do work
Skipping lunch in the process
“Bleargh no money already, don’t need to eat lunch la… besides, less lunch equals skinnier me to look fucking awesome in my new clothes!” i thought to myself hugging my bag happily (and tightly lest someone steal it)

See how fashion makes girls go crazy.
Like i said earlier and i’m saying again-

All sense and rationality flies out the window.

Exactly a year ago, Joyce had champagne till she claimed no more!
And got a nasty little cut
*click*

Happy Birthday Mooky!!!

JollyMooky’s birthday pics are still in Smellie’s camera
Which he took with him to the F1 yesterday and today
I watched a tad of the race on 8TV just now
But scuttled back to the pc to do my editing

Mommy surprised me by turning it back on
0_o
She’s more happening then me man
Sat really close to the screen and watched the whole thing

“Why are you sitting so near the tv? Trying to become blind is it.”
“No… why are *you* here? How come you’re not at the F1?”

Wah. What is this.
Is she trying to make me feel damn unhappening or what.

“No… i don’t like all these car things. Anyway i’m damn tired,” i replied quickly.

She didn’t answer me.
-_-

Why do i feel as if i just got dissed!?

I thought about Emmeline who wanted to go to the races so badly
Bumped into Alison and her at one of the cafes in The Shang, so we had a quick bite together

“Do you know whether i can still buy tickets for the F1 tomorrow?”
“Oh gosh, i’m so the wrong person to ask okay,” i chomped into my salmon
“I really want to go…”
“How come you can’t just get tickets from the organisers?”
“I tried, but in the end they didn’t give me any.”
I looked up from my delectable pink salmon slowly.
“What….. you’re freaking Miss Malaysia. And they’re not giving you tickets?”

Whatmore she did a shoot for them.
Ugh. What bad PR.


Emmeline sans makeup, getting her hair done


Alison getting her make up done.
Both of them wore Beatrice Looi.

I wore… a really kiddy ChristmasTreeGreen singlet with ribbons on them
0_o
I thought i was going home to change okay!
In the end i had to stick around the whole afternoon
And went to the Johnnie Walker event @ the Merc showroom
Sticking out like a sore (green) thumb

I even overheard a couple of guys say,
“She looks really young…”
As i walked past
-_-

I USUALLY DRESS better!

Not so kiddy!
I protest!

AliImran was there in the afternoon too
AmberChia was teaching him how to catwalk *giggle*
Ali’s gonna be on TV from March 27th onwards!
He’s a new host for X-Fresh and his slot is 9 pm

I first met Ali at some fashion event in Bukit Bintang last year
Taking food at the buffet at L’Opera, i found myself having to choose between two tables
One with chinese media
And the other with some flamboyant malays

I can’t speak chinese, and would probably spend my lunch in silence if i went there
Besides, i’d very much rather talk to funky malays ;)
So i headed to the latter where lo and behold!
I met Ali and Shah for the first time when they were still with Eh! magazine
We chatted so much, i think my colleague then got damn bored with me


Oh my god i damn emo wei
I just checked out www.joycewong.com
To see whether the domain is taken up

Well it is.

The moment i clicked on it, i’s thinking
Ah craP it’s taken oh well, expected la… ha… what the hell is this. Marketing communication bla bla bla *snoreeee* Whatthehell! This lady doesn’t even LOOK chinese! How come she’s a Wong. Ughhhhhhh gimme back my chinese domain name dammit

My Mice & i

Mice and i get along good
First there’s Ashley
Whom we sometimes (and herself) refer to as little mouse, when we ditch monkey for a bit

I love Mighty Mouse

And Modest Mouse

Ah ah baby i ain’t got no plan
Gonna float on baby would you understand

It’s so good to come home after a 13-hour work day
And just stone in front of the pc
I haven’t done this for ages
Just come home, stare at the screen and let my thoughts wander aimlessly while my tired body rests

“Don’t blog ar when you go home,” said CheeHooi as he dropped me off
“Crazy ar. Damn tired okay. Gonna crash,” i replied distantly

And look who’s the crazy one now
-_-

I was at four events tonight, which was abit mad
So i kinda bumped into almost “everyone i see socialising in kl” tonight
The thing is, i’m seriously oblivious when it comes to noticing other things around me

People say i look like i’m thinking hard
People say i look fierce
People say i look unfriendly
Today, someone said he liked the way i walked don’t-carishly as if i was gliding

0_o

The thing is, yes i don’t smile all the time
Because i can’t very well smile at the air when i’m walking can i?

Out of the hundreds i took today, here are my two favourite pics of the day

All the prep
All the flurry
All the various fabrics and colours and oohhhhhh
*orgasm*

I was exhausted by the time i got to Sepang
And i got so annoyed at everyone who went
“Eh, haha you drunk ar?!”
“… i’m just tired la.”
“You look drunk!”
“I’m TIRED.

A media buddy told me he heard photographers couldn’t go up on stage to take pictures of Tiesto
So superstar -_-
I don’t know, but i wandered in nonchalantly, noone stopped me and i started snapping away

I’m thinking that i snap first, and IF i did get stopped or halau-ed
At least i already got the picture and i’d run off gleefully
Heh

Okay la
It’s 6 am
I’m pooped
I’m so fucking tired
I’m in need of sleep
… I want to hug Smellie

Exactly a year ago, Joyce spent hours layaning IACT
*click*

Flash Me Baby!

I got my new flash already!
Yay!
Yippeee!!!
Yahoo!!

*cradles new flash lovingly*


TGIFairy

Today is my off day!
How lovely lovely lovely!

Besides having to send off some work samples
I’m not to think about any work today!

*stretches gloriously*

Went for the Paul Smith Spring Summer 06 fashion show last night @ Frangipani
I’m a tad disappointed for i adored his designs last year so much more…
But it’s okay, i still think he’s fantastic for all his fake death story-telling and bicycle mania
Pics up when i have time

My itinerary for the day:
ExternalFlash AdamPoserPan SmallSerenaC MyDarlingCousin KinkyPugKevin FaiTheMai JollyMooky’s Birthday Celebration!

Then it’s back to work with three shoots tomorrow
*pats camera lovingly*
And possibly one on Sunday


I’m At The Crossroad

At a certain point in life
No matter what you’re choosing
There is surely a crossload

Should i go out with him or should i wait for my true love whom i’m not sure of is existant?
Should i fry the fucking egg for one more minute?
Can i drink one more and i won’t get drunk?
Perhaps i can disobey her and she won’t hold it against me?…
Just answer the question and he’d think the better or you.
But what if the answer isn’t what he wants to hear?

Suddenly i”m at this point in life where i don’t know where i should turn

Should i venture fully into writing and photography?
The benefits are better
But then again, how long do those benefits play an important role in life?
I’m earning more in a week then i was in a month.
Can i really do this forever?
Can i actually go into an established name with this type of work?
Will i be earning more then my peers in 5 years time?

So much competition
So much thought
So much thought put into the culture that shaped me today into
What i *think* i should do to earn more money, thus getting a better life

Of course, i want to earn more money
Who DOESN’T!?!?!

If you don’t, kindly donate your money to me
Email me and i’ll give you my account number

Again, more money more money
Money = power

I don’t care if people say that girls don’t have to think about earning so much
Because they can depend on males

It’s bollocks.

Don’t ever depend on males.

You never know when they will leave you
Or when their heart will turn towards a hotter other

Depend only on yourself.

So
Now
I don’t know whether to continue on my quest on freelance writing and photography
Or
Consider the other offers (coincidentally) night outlets are offering me for marketing and PR

“You’re good at talking. When do you want to join us?”

Oh dear,
They’ve been asking me for two months and i figured they’ve forgotten all about it
*I* had!

And then it boils down to the money

I know some friends who will KICK me for not taking up a presumably great job offer that comes along
But for now
Seeing i have some choices
Fucking make the best of it right?

I’m just hoping luck doens’t suddenly run out on me
And suddenly i have nothing

Damn scary right

Of Balls, Chains & Shackles

They chattered nonsensically as he turned the key in the lock
Slipping off her New York Superstars, she walked towards the bedroom door to open it

… and stopped in her tracks.

Stared at the mess.
Promptly turned on her heel and headed for the computer room.

His voice broke the expected silence
“I’ll go clean up now!”
“Uh huh,” she hmm-ed back distantly

Arranging herself comfortably at the pc, she starts surfing online
Ten minutes later, she distinctly hears pages-a-fluttter coming from the living room
There usually isn’t any noise out there… thinks she
And peeps out to see…

Him sitting on the couch slowly taking off his boots while reading a magazine
She stands at the doorway with her hand on her hip, raised eyebrow intact
He looks up with a meek grin
“I’m going, i’m going, just give me a minute!”
“Damn good at wasting time man you.”

Aah
She settles back at the pc
Suddenly a head pokes in at the door
Now what?
Good god, he just cannot get started!

He’s pouting. Oh no.
Don’t tell me he’s too tired to clean up…
He was this close *makes 5mm space between fingers* this close to starting!

“Yes?” she challenges him to speak up
“…. i’m hungry….” he whines

Oh. So it wasn’t about the room.

“Ookay…”
“I’m hungry,” he repeats

-_-

Conniving boyfriend.
So she gets up to cook
As he cleans

Cooking and cleaning
On a Wednesday night

Welcome to adulthood.


 

Gone Is My Moustache

Not me la
I can imagine people saying i’m already bad -_-

QueenKanch and i got lost coming back today
We were driving past little towns i’ve never seen before in my life
0_o

You know you’re lost when everything looks alien around you
… and you can’t see any tall KL buildings :p

We ended up in Bangsar, *phew*
So i went to do my threading

I was getting damn emo at this particular photo shop in 1U
Cos they said two weeks ago the Nikon flash i wanted was to come in the following week
Which was LAST WEEK *nose flares*
Putting down a deposit on it, it hasn’t even come yet!
The chinese auntie there is super nice
Though i have to say there’s this other girl there who’s soddof rude

I called them up just now, being very curt and straight that they weren’t following up with their promises
The guy on the phone didn’t seem to know whether it was in or not
Which aggravated me even more
Fuck man.
If you’re not sure it’s coming on time, don’t say so then

I was all ready to get my deposit back and boycott the shop forever and ever
When the NiceChineseAuntie called me back promising apologetically it will be in by Friday

>_<

I hope it does.
Good PR is superb.
But if her promises don’t follow up second time running, all that PR can go fly kite for all i care man.
