Where’s A Black Cloth

When You Need One

Going for the Superheroes Charity party at Maison
And Cynna’s 1st Anniversary

I was struck with the fantastic idea to wrap my whole self up in a black cloth and chuck on the batman mask for Maison
Then when i go to Cynna, i just throw off the cloth and mask and wala!

But i can’t find a black cloth anywhere and was too busy to go buy one today
-_-

My only worries are:
Can i drink through the mask?
and
Maybe i should cut a hole through the cloth so that an arm can stick out to hold a drink

But i can’t find black cloth!
Maybe i’ll just fuck the idea and be a spoilsport

I’m running out of clothes to wear to events… again
Supposed to wear pink for Cynna but i already wore my pink dress to the wedding and Attic last weekend
It’d be sacrilegious to wear it tonight
>_<

Ok no more blogging, go get ready!

Exactly a year ago, i shamelessly asked people to vote for Ahwin
There was the Dunhill event
And LaughingLoga was a total dumbass
*click*

This was what Ahwin did during his birthday two years ago :D
*click*

Dear AzwinAndy

It’s 3:30 am and i don’t think you’d want me calling you now to wish you Happy Birthday
 
Even though i’m shameless enough to call you up at 5:45 am and ask you to go pray

The last time i pulled that trick on you, you were on your way home from clubbing

So i’m going to choose wisely next time i call you at 5:45 am

My, my, how things have changed from a year ago ey?
Now VJ la, model la, selart Cleo bachelor la…

Thanks for temaning me on happy drinking nights out
Thanks for layaning my hyper drunkard behaviour and carrying helping me upstairs
Thanks for lending your ears when i pour out my silly worries and awkward tears

I hope you don’t change

Don’t change okay?
Don’t become diva and big-headed (even slightly! not even so slightly!) like how so many in the industry do.

Now. Comes the serious part.
Bring on the bucket cos…


You’re going to DIE tonight!

MWAHAHAHA…

Exactly a year ago, Joyce had a very serious chat with Steven
*click*

Must. Deworm.

I keep on forgetting to buy deworming pills to take after all my sandfly bites at Tioman
Cammy was shrieking at me, “Must take! You must. Take. Them!”
“Okay okayyyyy, i am, i will!”

I remember the last time i bought deworming pills was just a few months ago
I suspected i got worms cos i was eating so much but losing weight
Very weird
And i remembered that hey, everyone’s supposed to take deworming pills every 6 months or so anyway
Mommy used to buy them for me. But when you’re (supposedly) an adult, your parents can’t keep on checking whether you’re taking care of your body
-_-

So i pottered into Guardian to buy some deworming pills and batteries
The batteries were equally important for entirely different reasons
I planned to buy two boxes, one for me and one for Smellie
Cos heck, he’s definitely not one to buy them and taking care of myself = taking care of him too
So la di da, there i was checking out the few brands for the pills when i noticed… two girls standing next to me checking out plasters or something

One of looked at me and whispered to her companion
Whereupon they’d both slowly look at me, making me go all paranoid and uncomfortable
Tiu… don’t tell me they read my blog… it’s just deworming pills! I don’t have worms! I don’t *think* i have worms! Everyone should take deworming pills anyway!!!

Even after all these thoughts ran through my head, they were still staring at me
So I snatched up Zentel (since Mommy always bought it - brand loyalty yo), slunk off and went to whine to QueenKanch about people staring at me buy deworming pills.

>_<


No Sleep Makes You Go Cuckoo

It’s only Monday and i’m dying dying dying
Did work till 7am, slept till 10am
Rushed out in a flurry cos i have to pick particular things up before 12 noon
I look horrible and pasty. Even glorified make up isn’t helping me much now.
The only thing that managed to put some ‘boing’ back into me was when i was walking near Aldo

“Let’s go look at shoes!”
“I thought you’re damn tired…”
“I am… but the store’s just freaking steps away!”
“Hahaha!”

Then i came home, thinking i could squeeze in a nap before continuing
Not. Possible.
Phonecalls and work = No nap for Joyce

Then i did it all while listening to Christmas songs.

Confirmed losing it.


Shocking quote of the week:
“The reason you marry early is so you can get divorced and marry again.”

This coming from someone who has tied the knot…
We all laughed then cos it seemed funny
And said person was joking… i think.
0_o

Oh Lynnzter showed me
someone’s Friendster site

I don’t really care so much how they call themself ’something-something’ The Fairy too
But it’s a bit too obvious if they steal pictures with me in it and put them up as their own right.

-_-

Shameless.

A.D.D.

My attention span seriously cannot make it today
I keep on doing work in short spurts

I think my wound from Tioman is healing… very badly.
Haven’t been taking care of it and it’s swelled up around the sides.

0_o

Kicking at them when i walk/club/sleep isn’t helping either

I yelled like a bitch one morning in bed as we were doing that turn-around and cuddle the other way thing
“Oh, sorry baby!” he apologised sleepily
“Fuckfuckfuck… it’s not you… i kicked myself, mahai damn pain…” I writhed in painful whines
Then i’d fall asleep after awhile

AzwinAndy said i was proudly showing off my wounds to him after OD-ing on champagne
“You were like, *puts on high-pitched girlie voice* Look! I cut myself on coral! And oh look! Look!!! Here’s another one!!! *goes back to normal macho voice* Fucking psycho.”
Me:  

Here’s a nice post on POB and his shoes - *click*

I must say he’s doing a good job of controling his shoe craziness now
Though he admitted he lost it while bidding for some pair on eBay
*tsk*

Today, he wore Birkenstocks. ORI Birkenstocks somemore.
But no matter how big the shoes (or sandals) he fills are, he still trembles like a bloody leaf when a cockroach is near us.
He did that stupid thing where his eyes go really huge (cos he *is* truly scared) and started lifting his feet up from the floor, making me panic slightly as well
Even though i have no fear of cockroaches, i don’t really want one running up my thigh

Then i saw where it was -_-
“Friend. The stupid cockroach is damn far away okay!”
“It was running around!”

What else. Oh. My father and brother were outside just now, so i sat on the bench and mentioned again how it’d be great if i could drive the 5 series.
My father laughed and my brother grinned like a clown.
Was i joking? No… i wasn’t joking wei. Why is everyone taking it like a joke?
So cruel… how can you be cruel to your blood.

I told Daddy how POB said he’d be out of his mind to give me the keys to that car
Daddy replied with one word: “Yup.”

My parents have never even SEEN me drive!
This is unfair, judging me based on… sheer faith (or the lack of it) that their daughter has no ability to drive!


So many people’s birthdays this week 
Happy Belated shoutout to Llew of Attic as well 
Happy Birthday TODAY to POB! Debbie Ong! And Wong Eugene!

I should just do a week thing and wish all in a shot

A year ago, was the Tommy watch launch
*click*

Today Is Puggy’s Day!

Happy 24th Birthday, Mr. Designer!
Meeting you was one of the best things that ever happened to me
Your bad hearing
Your low tolerance on pretentious people
Your outspoken and sometimes unnecessary bitchiness

But you’re still sweet and spoil me
And i know it’s not because you want to get into my pants
Cos you don’t swing that way

I wish you pure happiness
May you find the man of your dreams someday, soon
Can i be your maid of honour?
But you must get married out of Malaysia la yeah

I love you long time.

Also
Happy Birthday to RyanSoosayRaj!

Who’s in UK so calling him at 8 in the morning, London time, isn’t the best thing to do at the moment…
Come back to KL for Xmas, please?
And remember to bring me pork pies!
Pork pies pork pies pork pies *chants crazily*

Tomorrow is September 11th
PassedOutBen’s Birthday!
POB is turning, what, 25?
You’re passing the ‘early twenties’ stage… mwahaha


Pictureless.

I know i know, i haven’t posted pictures up for ages and they’re all overdue!
I just daren’t upload them into my pc lest it crash on me again… so i have to clean out my memory disk space

Last night was SkeletorKevin & Gwyneth’s wedding
StephTheVolcano looked totally grown up and awesome
SmallSerena wore her Diane von Furstenberg
PhatFabes spilt sauce on his white shirt
Jake told me Smellie is gay and doesn’t know it 0_o abit the scary
Cammy lost way too much weight but still packs in as much energy
JJ looked very very kacak in his suit *woohoo*

All the girls carried clutches and it’s SO unconventional no matter how classy it looks
Cos it can barely fit anything and all boyfriends had to shove ciggie boxes and digicams into their pockets

We all drank alot, obviously  >_<
Lots of wine, beer and whiskey

By the time i got to Attic for KinkyPugKev’s birthday, i was happy and high

I twirled around to make my cotton candy dress pouf up much to others’ entertainment.
“Turn, Joyce, turn!” KinkyPug would prompt me
Then i’d go “Wee!!!” and turn clockwise. Then anti-clockwise.
Damn layan.

I dropped my Lulu Guinness clutch thrice much to my chagrin.
Already i’m such a klutz. With alcohol intake, it’s inevitable i’d drop it.

Stupid clutches. I can’t ‘clutch’ when i’m tipsy yo!

Every time i dropped it, i’d gasp and shriek, “My Lulu!” and snatch it up from the floor as quick as a cat
As if there was that 5-second rule involved
You know the 5-second rule? Where if you drop something edible on the floor, as long as you pick it up within 5 seconds, it’s still okay to eat it
I don’t know, someone told me about that
I thought it was a bit stupid but it seemed to work with bags
Like the less time it spent on the floor, the less horrid dirt it’d pick up, the less pain my poor bag would feel
>_<

Joyce Tries To Get

5-Series Carkeys

After test-driving another car the other day, it really hit me how much the Kia sucks
Tekan to rush also cannot jalan and it just sucks up more petrol
Everyone is slowly getting used to the idea of me driving around
I bumped into Jagjeet in Bangsar while loaning products for a shoot last Friday

“Where you going after this?”
“Oh i’m gonna drive to 1U and pick up more stuff.”
“You drive?!”
Yes. I drive.”
“What car do you drive?”
“Oh i’m driving my mum’s car today.”
“They allow you to drive??”
Yes. They *allow* me to drive.”

Anyway, Daddy just bought a second-hand 5 series from my uncle, who’s migrated to Oz
It arrived while i was away in Tioman and (a bit sayang la) but i noticed there was a small dent on the back of the car
And a marvelous idea hit me while he called me on my mobile last night

“Yes, wassup!”
“Just checking, are you in KL?”
“Yes la. Are *you* in KL? Haven’t seen you at home also.”
“I am now.”
“Heh, oh i saw the new car arrived!”
“Yeah…” *can picture him grinning*
“But why got dent? You know… since you still have your BM… and Nick has his BM… and there’s a dent at the back of the new one, i can take it out and if i *do* bang something, there won’t be a difference cos there’s already a dent there!” i told him my genius idea on why i should be allowed to drive the nice fast car, having happy images of me zooming from place to place when i’m doing my product loans
“No la. Even i find it a bit bulky to drive.”
“But noone’s using it now! And it’s already got a dent! Will cost the same to replace entire thing!”
“No. Will cost more to pay the damages when you bang other people.”
“Tiu…”

Okay la, have to do work.
Maybe i can put up Tioman pics tomorrow…

Edit : :

Oh yay! Got *one* picture
DamnDirtyArthur  drew me a fairy picture!

Ai Yi Yi Yi!

Damn busy again
Got flooded with articles, reviews, pieces of corp. writing, and shoots
Someone mentioned i should just hire people to do my work
I retorted with, “But then… these ppl hire *me* and then i’d have to make sure they write in on time and QC all the writing and being fussy, i’d probably change everything and might as well do it myself.”

Champagne dissipates beef.

At one of the launches this week, i bumped into a director who owes me money
I would think that he’d avoid me if possible seeing that it’s been pretty long and he owes me a good few grand
But the champagne caused (it must have!) him to approach me, apologizing profusely for the late payment
And me. Being a tipsy donkey went, “Oh! It’s okay!”

And we’d grin at each other like the whole world was dandy and everyone loves everyone
It was exactly like this:   

The next day, i smacked myself over the head in my more-sober state, thinking, “It’s okay?! Shit it’s not okay lo… Stupid. Shit. Why did i say that for?!”


SuperstarAdlin Too Cool

Went for the Heineken event last night to support the local acts
Before one of their songs, SuperstarAdlin of Lied said something along the lines of how we should all go eat ikan pari… since a stingray took Steve Irwin
And then they dedicated a song to him
 

I wore my green top teamed with my red bag last night
And realised i had unintentionally dressed like a sponsor when AprilKuan and HyperRichard asked me why i’m wearing the Heineken colours
