Because Garbage Is Cool.

And Junk Is New.

Last Wednesday was the launch of brand new music magazine - Junk.
Held in Laundry (KinkyPug’s most detested place), i had a quick dinner with the mai, the monky and the queen before rushing there.
I rushed because SuperstarAdlin said freeflow was gonna finish at 9
>_<

Upon signing in at 8:30, i got a cute tiny mini (it was damn small la) itty bitty little button:

It was just to differentiate who was invited for the launch so that we could get the first issue for free there
The fuchsia button was so cool, one of the bartenders wanted it too
And because he’s so nice and always remembers my name when i took ages to find his out, i gave it to him and went pottering back to the table to ask for another one

Everyone got many many Heineken coupons! 
And because they all had to be redeemed by 9pm, everyone was rushing and i was wondering and wondering where  to place my beer so noone would steal it
It didn’t help that everyone was offering to help me finish it -_- “i dowan your help, okay” making me all paranoid
Seriously la… i felt like a squirrel hiding her nuts -_-

I had seven bottles  and called the mai to come and share the love

At one point i heard SuperstarAdlin saying on the mike, ” *somethingsomething*.. alcoholic fairy carrying a bucket of beer around!…*somethingsomething* “
Spoilt my cover for hiding my nuts, Adlin

Okay, truth is, Art Director Irman and Superstar/Associate Editor Adlin were talkiing to Publisher Adrian about their new baby
I only have one picture of them and Adrian looks really awful in it…
And any employee with a shred of brain matter knows that putting a bad picture of your ed up will result in an ass whooping. Or in the least, a joking-like telling off.

So (with my bad photoshop skills) i chucked a fairy giving Irman a flower there

Doesn’t it look apt?

The Deserters…:

FYI, each issue is RM10 and with the CD, its even lagi value

Besides an Ass Ed, there’s…

Check out their online website!
Very very cool

The People Around Me

Make My Life Interesting.

And Vice Versa. 


“Joyce, do you. Or do you not. Know the way?” KelvinTSD asked as sternly as possible
We’d already been squabbling like an old couple from the moment we met up
“I know! I know okay! Turn rightttt@@!!! RIGHT!!!!” i shouted
“OHMYGOD LA. YOU cannot just tell people to turn right when i’m already 2 seconds past it!!!” he screamed at me.

At least we got there right.
Though it took kinda long.



“You really have to do something about your memory,” said AshleyTheMonkey
“Omega 3!!!”
I really want Omega-3 for Christmas
“No. You need something stronger then that wei.”


“This is my fuckmobile,” POB pats his car lovingly, “But its still a virgin.”


“You know, when you said you wanted to get a snack, i thought you meant a bun or something,” GarfieldChak said, looking at the two pieces of KFC, mashed potatoes and coleslaw i carried around with me.

It *is* called KFC snack plate wut…
*big innocent eyes*


Gay Media Friend is complaining about something
His sexual orientation is unbeknownst to Straight Editor Friend, who goes, “You need a girl.”
I grin inwardly, watching the drama unfold
GMF keeps a straight (no pun intended la, i swear) face and says, “I need a lot of things.”
I choke into my beer.


I was having dinner with my family and was the only one who ordered wine.
Daddy: So. How much *do* you drink everyday, huh?
Me: Er… one… or two glasses…
Daddy: Everyday??
Me: Er… sort of *cough* yes.

Genius brother opens his mouth
Nick: Not counting the weekend!

I shot him just-you-wait look
Me: *mumble* Smartmouth
Nick:
Daddy and Mummy:  

Erh, ok time to sleep. I’m done with work for the night.
Smellie is up for the Morning Show already -_-
Our sleeping times are so screwed up

Laming At Laundry… again

I’ll be going for the pre-party at Laundry in half an hour
I can’t believe it
This is the 6th night in a row i’ll be there
I might as well be Official Ambassador of Laundry (if i’m not the unofficial one already)

Then KelvinTSD is picking me up to go for a party
“You’d better not be drunk when i pick you up!!!”
“Tee hee!”

I’m on detox from tomorrow till Thursday
Cos there’s an alco event on Friday 
But then i have to blog for Laundry on Thursday…
Erm… well DEFINITELY from Sunday till Wednesday at least
I’m so psyched up, i’m even going to buy vegetables from Cold Storage and cook the detox soup my aunt taught me after we’d stuff ourselves silly with food and alco over Christmas season

Smellie called me a dumbass when i told him i’s gonna make soup
So much for support
-_-

Tropical Sunburn

We were having dinner at Chilli’s and i ordered a margarita
The waiter nodded and returned five minutes later
“I’m so sorry… but did you order a Tropical Sunburn?”
“Yes.”
“I’m so sorry about this… but i need to check your ID cos you don’t look of age. I’m really sorry about this.”
“Oh, it’s okay!” i responded brightly

The last time they checked my ID, Smellie was wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt and i was wearing one with a cartoon devil cat
Today was different. I wore what i usually wear for work.

If they want to mistake 23-year-old me (who has girl friends commenting she’s getting lines under her eyes, who have their kids calling her auntie) for an underaged kid….

Hell, i have no qualms.

Exactly a year ago, was the very awesome (cos we drank so much >_<) Musiccanteen Awards
*click*

Two years ago, i had an abusive boyfriend
*click*

Argh. So Itchy.

It’s just some disease i have. Before i do work, i’m so tempted to blog.
I just want to sit my ass down at the pc, and blog happily.
When i want to relax/procrastinate, i read back my old posts and laugh to myself like a little imp.

I realise i miss the nonsense pics i put up.
Like the really really nonsense ones of dead animals and raindrops.

AshleyTheMonkey, JollyMooky and i went for wine on Tuesday night
Okay la. Abit bad. I was telling myself that since Wed-Sat last week was going to be a total drinkfest, i won’t drink on Sunday.

Then Sunday drank like gila babi in honour of PhatFabes
Then Monday went for wine with POB
Then Tuesday again -_-
Then just now also
Then confirm tomorrow also
And Friday with KinkyPug
And Sat

I’ll cross my fingers for this Sunday
This Sunday i will start to detox


Yeah. Sunday.

Mooky had cute ‘lil dice on his shoes! So i crouched on the floor and took a shot, much to his pride

He’ll be performing at Laundry Bar tonight

Last week, i was supposed to go for that Superheroes party and GarfieldChak was hunting last minute for some cheap glasses
I was to go as Batman (i DID bring the batmask and props) but came home bounding through the door as a tipsy bunny rabbit

Anyway, back to shopping for cheap glasses:


Toys ‘R Us

GarfieldChak keeps on saying my head is like a strawberry

 


Last Sunday, I Ate Like A Pig

I was just eating throughout the entire day
Not snacks, mind you, but proper meals, popping things into my mouth one after the other
Vietnamese beef noodle soup, tea eggs, fried chicken, cheese meatballs, nachos

Actually. The only reason i like this shot is because all the red balls are aligned

And then the text came to mind as i was photoshopping it
But then the text didn’t align so… kinda fail.

SmallSerena calls us WAGs -_- cos everytime we have a gathering, we’d end up huddling together over drinks and gossip for hours… and hours… and hours… you get my drift

But i adore them girls!!!

I’m lazy to write names already >_<
StephTheVolcano, SpankyCammy and moi

I just… really don’t know what to say about these guys.

Okay, i didn’t take many pictures cos JJ is resident gathering photographer

So not everyone is here la yeah



   

Good Lord, Moots is *still* at it!
Then there’s Jayram (catch him in S’kali!)
Me with my new marble beads, marble okay? Not plastic. Marble. Or jade. Allah, i’m not sure. But definitely not cheap plastic!
Oh and of course, the poser


 
Ew.

And best picture for last!

             

 

So gonna get a phonecall or bitching sms… i know it
Can you refrain, Steph? Can ya?!

C’mon Steph, repeat after me:

“I Can Maintain…”

Exactly a year ago, i looked 16
I think the increase in stress has diminished any misconceptions of that by now
*click*

Two years ago… oh GOD i looked so different
0_o  *click*

It Was A Trance-like State

When i found myself with a plastic bag in my hand
Huh? Who? What happened? Ohmygod i bought a dress
I mean seriously, all i had to do was walk from Dome @ Midvalley to the carpark upstairs without buying anything

Then i found myself walking involuntarily into a shop
Then i found myself pulling on a dress to try with POB nagging me on the phone that Ken is going to mengamuk if i’m late
Then i found myself scrutinizing it thinking, ‘But oh! it’s absolutely lovelyyyy’

And then… fail.

I think God implanted some gene in (most) women to just lose it when they shop.
Like really really lose it. Forget about bills, having to go to the doctor. Forget credit card bills.
Hell, if i had a kid, i’ll be thinking, “It’s okay! I can buy the dress and the baby can live on diluted milk for a month and it’ll be okay.”

Then when i showed POB the dress, he said it looks like it came from Alice In Wonderland
-_-  I almost hit him.

Oh yeah, today is GarfieldChak’s birthday!
I think he turns twenty…eight?


@ Cynna’s 1st Anniversary last Wed


Some Manners, Can?

I was a bit moody from having to layan people and this person whom i think is a real freakzoid from hell came up and said hi
Actually. She didn’t come up and say hi.
More like she whacked me on the arm to catch my attention
I was so annoyed i felt like whacking her back.

Who the hell hits people on their arm to say hi?
I already saw her and we happened to be walking towards each other
We’re not in primary school anymore!

Allah i’m just emoing la.
I just imagined if one of my editors came up to me and whacked me to say hi, i wouldn’t be bothered by it

But its different! I bet none of my editors will walk up to me, whack me and stand there with a half smile, blinking away

And then she had to stare at Smellie and me hanging out
So weird
We both noticed it

“Don’t you feel weird knowing she’s sitting there staring at us?” asked Smellie
I put my lips to his ear, “YUP.”



Losing The Plot: Case #23489

I was proudly telling POB about my old friend who’s coming back to KL soon and how i hadn’t seen her in years

How we were close in Form 2
How i changed school but i’d try to meet up with her at McDs in SS2 before tuition
How she’s an absolute sweetheart for sending me stargaze lilies for my birthday one year, and a gorgeous necklace the next
How i’m a god-awful friend for not sending her anything at all
How i screamed and woke up in excitement when she called me last week to tell me she’s coming back
How i said i’d slap her if she doesn’t call me cos i MUST buy her dinner
How she’s studying medicine

“Oh my god. No wonder now only she finished studying,” POB said, looking to the heavens

“Yeah, she last told me she’s working in a pharmacy part time or something like that, oh my god!” I banged the table, “This is why you have friends who are doctors. Cos then. She can prescribe me cough medicine!!!”

“…. you know. The story was having such a nice ending… Then you lost the plot.”

“Mwahaha… mwahaha…” *crazy plotting laughter*



You Know I’m Serious

KinkyPugKevin smsed me:
I’m sure you know Superbar and Lied are performing in Laundry this Friday and you won’t FFK *friend’s party* on me right?

I replied:
Yup. I’m all yours Friday. Swear on fairies.

He smsed back in glee and told me who he’s fantasizing about -_- so i didn’t reply after that 
But yeah. You know i’m serious when i swear on fairies.

Exactly a year ago, my mother asked me to pray
*click*

S’kali, Boss

The S’kali Blog


I picked at my dry scab from my coral cut in Tioman
And it suddenly split. Tad of pus. More transparent liquid.
I told Daddy. Cos Daddy used to be a diver and he’d know what to do.
Daddy, what’s wrong with it?
Where did you get the cut from?
Cut it on coral in Tioman, there’s pus…
Oh geez, you’d better go see a doctor and get antibiotics.

I want to cry.
