A Pitiful Irony

That on the same day the Jiaoman tells me to beware of these people conning freelancers, poor puggy kena conned on the exact same day
Apparently there are some people calling up freelancers (designers, writers, photographers) proclaiming that they got their contact from someone and offer very tempting jobs
They’ve got their information down pat, dropping names of people from others publications, clients, etc.

Dude said he doesn’t have a mobile phone and his ‘wife’ calls Kevin’s phone asking to speak to him
So of course, after talking for so damn 7 long to each other bout prospective work, let the fella use a tad right
And he runs off never to come back with the phone

All that effort for a phone… -_-

Just letting you all know to be careful

Too Much Hot Air

I was all eager to check out Maison on a Thursday night seeing i’ve never been there on its RNB nights before

Oh my god.

Never again.

It was SO HOT and the ventilation sucks so badly, that despite having abundance in alcohol, funny conversation and slutty dancing colleagues… some of us left cos we felt like we couldn’t breathe in there anymore.

Crowd-wise, i cringed at people shuffling to R&B
I was like, wtf…
Tyler pretended to shuffle too, and i threatened to walk away

Tini and i were looking at the girls (mostly college kids) who were pretty glammed up for a Thurs night (dresses, pumps)
We were saying how their dressing was kinda off cos we wouldn’t wear a dress unless it was for an event/cocktail party
But then i put it into different perspective saying, “Wait. Maybe its like how *we* used to look at working people last time and think their fashion was a bit fail. And now *we’re* the working ones who can’t see it but maybe they think our fashion is fail. Haha…”
Tini: No way. We are FINE.

Coming from a fashion designer, okay. I believe her when she says we’re fine.
:p

I figured it was time to leave when Dik started exemplifying the epitome of cheesie pick up lines
Like, “Hey, you have a great body… but you won’t hold it against me, would you?” or something like that
And, “I think your dress is very becoming… cos i’d be coming on you too.”

*cringe*

I can’t remember it word for word
The trauma damaged my memory even further

KLue Caused Fairy Sobriety

How?
By holding this dinner and drinks thing that made me eat so much i didn’t even get TIPSY that night
That’s how!
I think the polenta that came with my cod seraped all alcohol

There were 63 spots, and we got a three-course meal with freeflow of Martell for… RM60 nett
Not bad right
And the dishes looked just like in the advertorial

It was held in this place i urm never heard of before – Max Kitchen & Wine
On Tengkat Tong Shin
Or is it Changkat Tong Shin?
Something like that :p

Gathering that i was going to drink alot that night, i took a taxi there
With last week’s occurrence, lagi don’t want to drive y’know -_-
Met ChoWei there, who took a taxi too
(and the two people who took taxis ended up the most sober of the night. What are the chances?!)

We sat across Jerome

ChoWei: What do you do?
Jerome: I’m the associate editor
Me: *butts in* That means he cleans up all the shit we write
Jerome: Yup
Me: 

*Sigh* My pictures are just not doing it for me man nowadays
Why do i look like a ShinyForeheadMonkey in this one

I did my champion thing and forgot SK’s name… AGAIN

SK: I met you in Adrian’s open house…
Me: I know i know…
SK: Maybe you can call me *anothernameican’tremember* instead. Easier to remember?
Me: No. Stick to this or else it’ll never work out!

See. Now i remember
SKSKSKSKSKSKSK

Went to Velvet after that for Zouk’s Anniversary

Okay then i didn’t take any pictures cos i was lazy
And so sober

So fucking sober i kid you not

I had Martell (from during dinner).
Stout with POB and SuperstarAhHoong at Terrace.
I think Zaidi called me a ‘fucking aunty’ for drinking Stout -_-
Champagne with ChoWei
Whiskey with Nino and Co.
Whiskey with other random peeps
More whiskey with Lam
And others i can’t remember

Surprisingly, i had damn alot of fun that night
*proud grin*
It’s nice remembering what i talk about to people
And the stupid drunkard things they say 

I still grin to myself recalling this

Mervin: I damn terbabas woi. Are you terbabas?
Me: Nope. *looks up at tipsy person nonchalantly*
Mervin: You should terbabas you know why?
Me: Why?
Mervin: Because. You’re Joyce.
Me: YuP. *surpresses grin* I’m Joyce.
Mervin: Yes. You’re Joyce from *company name*. And i’m Mervin from *company name*! That’s why you should terbabas!
Me: *snorts with laughter as tipsy person potters off*

I sought out two uncles (sure kena slap) dear friends i could trust send me home (even tho they almost left me behind -_-)
KenDD drove his new car
Three-days-old at the time
I offered to drive them if they didn’t feel up for it, seeing i was as sober as my mother
I remember retorts along the lines of ‘obviously not’ and ‘yeah right’
Just offering mer, bloody hell :p

I wonder if AndrewBNBC will be a DD too?
Then it’ll be AndrewBNBCDD

Late Bday Pix

I realise why i rarely put up birthday pictures and wishes…
Cos if i put one up, i have to remember all the others lest the forgotten get emo
0_o

FaiTheMai’s Birthday!!! @ Laundry
Will be joining HSBC in a tad 
Intro me to hot bankers k? 

I love this picture – Fai at his best.

Tini celebrated at Velvet

Tini is super scary with the bottle
She’s even scarier when she’s reminding me of whose birthday is coming up next

Her exact words –
“Joyce. Next month you’re going to die.”

0_o … Seriously considering faking MC sial

JollyMooky celebrated in The Loft @ Zouk
     

Here he is looking well proud with one of his presents, a book about… Mawi

I missed TimmyTimTim’s birthday, sorry!

@ Brenda’s wedding

There were even some fake birthdays

I introduced KinkyPugKevin to Nino at the Juice + Johnnie Walker event at The AHR Loft
And Nino made him drink, shouting “Happy Birthday!”
At first Kevin was like, “It’s not my birth…” then he drank anyway

Even i was damn layan and hugged him shrieking, “Happy Birthday!!!”
Then people overheard us making a ruckus and started wishing Kevin Happy Birthday

Needless to say he got quite sloshed on his non-birthday

Load Up On The Appeton Dude

Today i helped Smellie buy new shelves
As in, allow my car to be used to transport them from IKEA because his car is too small (and messy. can’t even fit a fourth person in)

We looked so pathetic, two tak-larat-looking people struggling with the purchases
“Oof! You need to work out more! What happened to your stupid bet with Jason?”
To the extent that two IKEA guys came to help us stuff it into the car

Fail.

The Rainbow Threads

Spread in slim strips
The yellow went left
Green went right
They all went haywire
Through an admirable fight

Sometimes it gets confusing
With the merging and separation of colours
You don’t know for sure whether its your imagination
That it’s for better – a concoction of a colour never before seen
Or for worse – a black never guessed could emerge from a combination of two stars
