The Case Of The

Accidental Robbery Part II

Odin smsed me yesterday - “Hey do you happen to have my headphone as well… i think your mates might have taken them.”

Well i fetched the boys home so… i checked my car.
They were there. -_-

Surprise (work) road trip.

I tried to look alive in the office pantry while saying ‘morning to those there
Zuhdi popped a sentence out of nowhere.

“Hey Joyce. You’re going to Malacca with me today right?”
“… 0_o… no… i am?”
“Yeah, they said you and me.”
“Are you sure? Today?”

Well he was right in the end, just that i couldn’t be reached in KKB yesterday (bad reception) so i just knew this morning.

I have… an hour to pack and eat lunch (and blog )
I’ll be driving *feels so adult*
Oh wait.
I am an adult.
Or i’m supposed to be.

Took so many beautiful pictures yesterday
It was a glorious, cooling drive there. Deep and i were counting our lucky stars how we were able to skip the Monday blues and chill out instead.

This is the dam at KKB. I snapped a few pictures, exclaiming how pretty it looked.
Deep: Years ago, hundreds of people were protesting against this dam, and now my friends are taking pictures of it. -_-

Then i made him explain to me the dam saga.


Up one foot, up a paw too.


It was like i walked into a picture storybook.





One of the orang asli and their doggie
 


Lots of nice pictures, but too many to put up for now.
Will do them after Malacca.

Called Odin to apologise i can’t see him tonight to pass him back his case of music and headphones.
“Sorry sorry!”
“It’s okay, i just need it by Friday.”
“Okay. I’m taking reallllll good care of them anyway and bringing them traveling!” As if they were animals. “Yesterday, we were layaning your music in an orang asli house in KKB!
“Oh my gawD.”

PIX!

Suddenly i damn semangat to put up pictures.

But no editing with text like last time.

One day last week (forgot which day already) was the Smirnoff event at Sanctuary

Was super late cos we went to the Harper’s Bazaar Espana thing first
Traffic jam so did not help


I bought this dress from Tribeca that’s SO me!
It’s got all these colourful birds on it. Trippy kitsch.


Phil + my hair not all in place


Suanie, me, KimberlyCun


STGary


Deep, me trying to pose like the bg but fail, Tanner sibuk


AfroBobo

… i just noticed that i’m pursing my lips in almost every picture
It’s annoying myself… just looking at it makes me want to slap myself off the picture
-_-


Hemanth, Phil

They launched these new flavoured Smirnoffs which i remember seeing in duty free before
Omg it’s damn nice.
Evil. But nice all the same.


OxygenSarah

Last Friday night was the Uniquely Singapore thingamajig @ Velvet


Azana, FaiTheMai + moi

At first Fai didn’t want to go, though i was begging him (Azana was fine and dandy with whichever)
Complain far la, have to walk la, bla bla bla
Then i said the magic word - Freeflow.

His eyes went *ting!* and we were at Zouk in 15 minutes flat.


Sham organised the event.
Her eyes make mine look lagi sepet… :(

Marinna, Farah, Madcapper

Kang, Christian, MismatchedEarringMoi

I really wanted to wear my ball bearing earring (one left cos the other got lost eons ago)
So i simply chucked on an equally long leafy one on my left side

MadcapperSa performing

I remember queuing up in G2 while i was still in college, to go through an interview to work for events
And the entire group of chinese girls outside were bitching about Julie
Thing is, it was all very shallow
Like TylerTheFairysitter says, “One word for people who do things like this to try and bring you down - ENVY!”


Who’s got the devil horns now huh, SuAnn?


Old school mates! JasonLimTsuYang (just had to la. Remember your full name since Standard 4), Looney, YC


Mmm… we didn’t notice the dude behind us while taking the picture


See.
This is why it’s good to be short like me.
Cos then you won’t keep getting cut out of pictures.


Eve

I was really exhausted by 2am
Wanted to run up to TAG but Kelvin said even *he* couldn’t go up cos it was damn 7 crowded so i didn’t bother.
Got bored after awhile in Velvet so i went out and bumped into AnotherAdam, Odin and the rest.

Odin temaned me to the back of Zouk’s carpark cos i parked my car at the Poppy one
They shut off the opening so i had to do the Charlie’s Angel thing and climb over the pointy railings.

 
I *think* i got the name right kua…


Colin


KancheongRichard


BalaTania and me were being real brats, whining that we were hungry, stealing all the food and scoffing them ourselves
Oops >_<


JuiceApril keeps on saying Richard looks straight in this picture
I think it’s the haircut yo

Saturday night:

MaryBerry and i @ Laundry

Odin + Dan @ twentyone


Mark fancies nasi lemak *inside joke*

This is Aida.

    
These are Aida’s friends. I forgot all their names already.
Very the fail… sorry!

Yet Another Model Search

But i think this one  was more atas in the sense that all the girls were freaking drop dead gorgeous
Only thing was that not all of them were eloquent in speaking… so that was a pity.

It was so obvious who was going to win cos she strutted it and even winked it

 
Pardon the sleepy look
It was held on a Sunday afternoon and i almost died getting up for it

They all wore dresses sponsored by Warehouse Spotlight

Winner got 20k worth in prizes. Dang.
Plus she’ll be Estee Lauder’s ambassador for a year.


SmallSerena emceed


AlcoKaki In Crime

Met up with Deviga for drinks the other night at Palate Palette


Tani-ed with her team from The Expat

Andreas, Eddie, Mikko

Threadless Dot Com

GarfieldChak got me this cool shirt from Threadless.Com for my birthday
It’s called ‘Green Fairy’ and shows a bottle of absinthe with a fairy on all fours puking a pattern unto the ground
-_-  Naiceee.


This ees GarfieldChak

He made me stare at his shirt above

“Do you get it?” he quizzed
I stared. Lazy la.
“No i don’t… what is it?”
“It’s damn cute - Nothing rhymes with orange!”
“… oh! Hahaha!!!”

And an additional cute thing?
The fruit saying ‘fairy’ is the smallest and is red! (cherry, duh)
HAHAHA!!!

What A Sunday Should Be

Forced myself to sleep more and got up at 1pm
Edited some pictures for JollyMooky who picked them up at 2 something
Met up with MaryBerry, FoxyLisa and Adel at 4
Pored through Lisa’s wedding pictures, patted her 6-month-pregnant tummy, she had chocolate brownies, i had my creature-of-habit hash browns, salmon and avocado.

As usual, we waved like mad women in Delicious to get service.
“The service here sucks.”
“Yet you still come here so much!” said Adel
“I knowww, but i haven’t been here for three weeks, ever since i found that stupid curly hair in my mushrooms.”
“EWWW!” they chorused.

Went to see Deep’s twin baby nephew + niece.

It’s weird to party with a group one night, all guzzling long island tea, talking cock and misbehaving (”Drunk and Disorderly” is what Henry calls it)
Then see the same people cooing, making cutesy noises and layaning babies one afternoon.

Kang: Damn easy yar. Have twins - one boy and one girl. Enough!
Henry: Yeah man. After that tutup kedai!
Me: -_- Tutup kedai? Wtf…

Man, i didn’t have cemerlang seats like these when *i* was a baby…
Kids these days.

     
Deep read Mo’s shirt out loud. I like pirates, ships and islands…*looks at baby* Righttt…”

We’re going on a road trip tomorrow!
Gonna visit Antares  in KKB

*my first trip to KKB*

I’s telling Daddy about it over dinner and he said he met Antares before
“Really? When?”
“Long time ago. There, through my friend Rehman.”
“Oh, the one who writes yeah?”
“Yeah yeah, he was staying there as well. Said it’s a nice quiet place to write.”

Hmm i wonder how long i could sustain in a quiet place…
:p

Anyway, WEE!
Road trip on a Monday!
*bounce bounce bounce*

The Mystery of the

Accidental Robbery

Been quite good and made myself drive out the past two nights so i wouldn’t drink so much
Evil people like SuAnn, Gary and Deep say the same line on separate occasions - “Drink only! Don’t worry about your car! We’ll drive you back! Leave your car here!”

-_-

Checked out Colin’s new bar and restaurant in Taman Tun. Called Wasabisa. Or Wabisabi. Or something like that.
Went to Laundry for the Junk thing. I couldn’t help moving to Goodnight Electric’s  performance!
I’d love them to perform at any party i throw!!
Ok ok stop raving. I never heard of them before this anyway.
Went up to Sanctuary and left in two minutes cos it was so crowded.
Chatted in The Apartment for a bit.
Then went to support Odin spinning at twentyone.

And that’s where the accidental robbery took place.

Odin called me at 4am asking whether i had his music.
I was like, “Wha..? Why would i have it?” but looked around for it anyway.

I had it. 

0_o

Was having supper with Gary + Mark at the time he rang.
Gary: … WHY are you having the DJ’s music?!
Me: I don’t know! He must’ve asked me to hold it and i… *cough* must’ve walked off and put it into my car…
Gary + Mark: TSK!
Me: *sheepish look*

Due to the accidental acquisition of his precious music, Odin is now required to perform a barter for my 2006 Christmas present from MaryBerry
She passed it to AnotherAdam, who passed it to KLueAdrian (because AA was going back to Oz. He’s already been there, finished studying and is back -_- ), who passed it to Odin (before Adrian got it lost in the KLue office)…
It’s almost August. And i still haven’t got my Christmas present.
Mary can’t even remember what she gave me anymore.

Barter barter barter!!!

Went to grab a bite at The Apartment at the Curve last week.

It’s next to TGIF

“Wah, so now besides TGIF, Italiannies and Laundry, they have the Apartment also!”
“Yeah man. Like playing Monopoly liddat.”

Boogalooboo

Why the complicated blog name, Sa?

This is MadcapperMelissa

She’s super sulking at me cos… i forgot to go for her performance at No Black Tie last week
>_<
My bad.

BUT.
She’s singing tonight in Velvet.
And i told her i’d be damned if i don’t show up.

This here is her blog.
She just started a couple of months back.

As for car people (so not me), this here is Darren’s blog
*click*

Cattitude

One day after yet another night of girl-bonding, we all went back to StephTheVolcano’s place and i got to see her three cats.
Unfortunately the two older ones don’t get along with the new kitten, called Boots ‘cos of her sweet white socks.

“Do you want her?” StephTheVolcano asked, holding her up to me.
Me: Er… I have a dog la… he so won’t like her. And neither would my mum.
Steph: I can’t keep her anymore, she keeps on jumping on the other two cats. And they were here first so…

So Boots is up for adoption.
Free.

She’s young, has had her injections, and is very hyper.
And as all cats do, has major attitude.

She’s really manja when she’s stoned tired though.
That’s when she opens up.

Oh. And she likes pussy too.


   
Interested please email the volcano girl at sgskennedy@gmail.com
She’ll take it from there.
I have to work okay.
Now i feel like an animal adoption agency as well.
-_-


Fucked Up!!!

My sleeping time. Totally.
I took a nap at 9 pm cos of my headache. Woke up.
Slept again at 3 am. Woke up at 6 am to write.
I’m damn awake now.

Oh my god. This is perfect. I should do my laundry!
*rushes off*

*10 minutes later*
There. Chucked one load for now into the machine.

I finally saw Daddy a few days ago after not seeing each other for WEEKS.
We keep on missing each other in the house.
Me: “Oh my god! Finally… i haven’t seen you for so long wei…”
Daddy: “Yeah. Was going to send you an sms to ask whether you’re still alive.”
Me:  >_<

Staying Put Part II

The managers are overseas attending a conference
And some of the team are delegated to travel to the other key urban centres for market research, like Penang, Johore, Ipoh and Malacca.

Mr. Team Leader said that those who were sent preferably had to speak Chinese
“Okay, i need to see who can speak what. Who speaks Mandarin?”
My hand stayed down.

“Who speaks Hokkien?”
My hand stayed down.

“Who speaks Cantonese?”
My hand stayed down.

“Eh,” i whispered to DatinTini, “Like this right, i think i’ll be staying in KL with you la.”

There’s no point of me going to those places if i can’t communicate with the people… and anyway, i’d be looked down upon for being a shameless Chinese who can’t speak Chinese.
So there.
I’m not going to be away this weekend.
Finally.
Tired la, travel so much.

Ibuprofen Is My

Best Friend.

The migraines are back 
Last bad one i got was 2nd night in Koh Samui

Been popping Ibuprofen  ‘cos i still have to go out for work
And i’m bound to drink
And Panadol hand-in-hand with alcohol takes a strain on the liver

So… yeah. Cry.
I just took one at 3pm cos the pain was so bad.
And i’m taking another ‘cos the earlier one wore off already.

I feel as if an alien is scratching its hands (if it has hands) against the wall of my brain, digging at it.

Beware Who You Hire.

“Hey guess what, I just got asked whether I want to teach tuition.
You..? I looked up from my laptop, Teach what tuition?”
Teach primary school kids.
You’re kidding right. I stared at the woman locally renowned for shopping and partying.
No, really. They just emailed me. They’re paying 30 bucks an hour.

I gave her an appalled look. 30 bucks an hour?! Please. I think you’d rather pay THEM 30 bucks an hour to leave the kids, run out and drink right. You don’t need the money!

She ignored me as she clicked away on the mouse, “Let’s see, they want me to tutor three hours a week… so…”

I cut in, So that’s like, extra 360 ringgit a month for you.

“YEAH!” she grinned at me, “Can buy one bottle! HAHAHA!!!”

I shrieked with laughter back at her.

Tutoring kids so that… you can buy a bottle…-_-

SO SALAH CAN DIE.



Kurap Queen

Kurang ajar FaiTheMai called me that
I’ve got this most disgusting rash on my neck which has been visiting for the past few months.
It’s name is Raju. Raju the Rash. Very temperamental indeed.
Sometimes it seems like all’s to be well again. Then suddenly it inflames and itches and hurts, especially when i subconsciously scratch at it in the middle of the night.

Just yesterday, Fai was like, “What’s that?!”
“What what??!”

He touched my upper neck and face, “Eh, i think you’d better get it checked out la… it’s spreading to your face!”
I moan in annoyance, “Fuck man. I thought it’s getting better. Wanted to go to the doctor today but didn’t have time.”
“Just go to the pharmacy la.”
“And say what?” I preferred getting proper treatment for it.
He replied - “Ask them what you should buy for your ugly face.”
“Fucker.” 

I won’t post a picture of the rash ‘cos it’s so  attractive.
Instead, i’ll post a picture of the mai, who’s even more  attractive.

Nope….

Yeah we love our Guinness.
Draft please.

I accidentally double-booked myself tonight for two events with two different people.
Going marathon the Harper’s thing with AfroBobo, then taking Vanessa to the Smirnoff thing.

Damn pandai.
