Pavilion
Went for the for Pavilion launch last night with AzwinAndy
He told me the dress code was ‘fashionable’
I ter-heard ‘fabulous’ or ‘glamourous’ or some cliche thing like that
So i thought, heck, everyone will be wearing dresses all, same as the Parkson launch a few days back
I wore this long dress and upon jumping into the car, saw that Ahwin was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
I stoned, “Wtf… you’re wearing so casual! I’m running back in to change! We don’t match!”
“No! I brought a jacket la!”
“Ohhhh okay okay.”
We still didn’t really match 
Some people seem to think we’re dating -_- Please. I mean *cough* even though you’re hot *puke* and all, Azwin *barf*
“Are you guys going out?”
“No! We went to school together…”
“Oh i see!”
Azwin told me before someone asked him
“Are you going out with Joyce?”
“No!! She’s like my sister!”
“Ohhhh”
The Tattle team
writer Serean, I (look like i’m going to give birth or something), editor Shantini, contributing stylist and fashion designer Jimmy Lee (will link him when his site is ready in two weeks, he said 
Gloria all radiant
I look like a kid next to her.
A kid who had too much candy.
And it went to her face.
And tits (thank god)

Ahwin and i agreed that the vibe in Pavilion is a bit like KLCC
Cream marble floors and pillars
Very the opulent
Xandria was wearing this glittery dress from Eclipse that was sprinkling all over DivaAdrian.
He liked it obviously.
I want to steal Vincent’s hat…
I WANT!
See, Richard and Angie matched in a way
Kitschy happy colours
MareDiva, DawnJeremiah and me
Dawn told Mare i bought her her first Flaming
I’m honoured (tho i can’t believe she’s never had one before TSK! Yay, i popped Dawn’s Flaming cherry)
A few of the stylists looked down at my dress and asked me, “Which designer is that?”
I answered, “None. It’s from a china factory.”
>_<
I cannot always buy designer dresses la.
Takkan wear once to event, everyone recognises it and i can’t wear it again.
Pokkai fairy okay.
I’m Not A Brunette.
Some have been saying i’ve gone brunette.
It’s not brunette, it’s violette yo.
I’m so used to standing out in a crowd (after having the red hair since April) that it seems weird that suddenly… i’m average again.
But a stranger still surprised me by complimenting my dark violet do in the middle of Bangsar as i was dashing to see ButtercupSharon in Starbucks.
I was just about to cross the road when this tall dude in a suit said, “Nice hair.”
“Thanks!” i managed to squeak, half-hop into crossing the road.
Luckily didn’t kena bang down by car -_-
KinkyPug said i looked positively worried and sad when i had to decide between colouring it red again, or go violet.
But i’ll be going swimming and diving end of this month so… the red’s going to run and it’s so pointless then.
Plus i need to give my hair a rest from all that dyeing la.
“I like it,” DivaAdrian studied my hair at the Pavilion launch last night, “I feel i can take you seriously now.”
“…0_o So you never took me seriously before? -_- “
Sigh. I must admit i miss my red hair 
I like my new do, it’s very chic…
But i think i’m still a wild child at heart.
R.I.P. Red Hair
(if i cannot tahan i’ll bring you back to life in November 
On the way to Kuantan
The Relevance of SPM
My mum was just telling me the other day on how the standard of marking for SPM has deteriorated terribly and how questions leak nowadays.
And i was thinking, damn, students have it so much easier these days.
Plus i bet most of them don’t really care about SPM because they have the liberty of knowing that their parents will ship them off to study in some nice uni overseas or local college.
How many friends do you have who actually went to local U?
I barely have any.
I was looking at a friend’s CV the other day (you know who you are ha ha)
“Wow, you got Grade 1 for SPM!”
“Actually, no la, i didn’t, i lied hee hee.”
“True la, like as if they’ll even ask for the cert to check. I lost mine okay. Don’t know where it is now.”
Anyway i don’t think SPM is relevant to someone who’s been working for 5 years -_-
They’re more interested in what you’ve been doing with your life la.

You Know Someone’s
Addicted To Facebook When
- They think about some application the first thing in the morning
“Where’re you going?”
“Nowhere.”
“Then why are you getting out of bed?”
“I want to check my Facebook!”
“-_-”
- They play with Facebook when they’re obviously supposed to be working
*Facebook message*
“Hey. You’re on fucking MC but you can message on Facebook!”
“Eh. You’re in the office and you’re answering me on Facebook!”
“…”
- They refer to Facebook when they dye their hair (moi)
“Daymn. I’m going to miss my red hair…”
“It’s okay, you’ll get used to it.”
“No. Now all the nicknames people gave me on Facebook cos of my hair have to be changed. All that strawberry redhead stuff…”
“…-_-…”
- They proclaim they’ve tagged you while camwhoring at a party
*snaps picture* “Ha! You’re tagged!!!”
- They find out their friends’ unknown status through there
“Hey guess what, i just found this friend of mine i’ve known since primary school is married. Fuck, everyone getting married nowadays wei.”
“Tiu, you sure?”
“Yeah, duh. I saw his wedding pictures on Facebook.”
- They discover others’ sexuality
“Hey, did you know ——- is gay?”
“NO. He told you?”
“No… i read it on his profile on Facebook.”
“What…”
“He wrote that he’s interested in ‘men’.”
“Oh.”
- They need to urgently use your laptop
“Can i borrow your laptop to go online for a second?”
“Sure, what’s up? Work?”
“No, i want to feed my pets.”
“… what?”
“My pets on Facebook.”
“…….”
- There’s planning for an event and Facebook is replacing PR
“Hey invite them on Facebook.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Easy to see who’s going to go…”
“Then what’s the point of hiring PR?!”
- They presume someone else has beef based on Facebook actions
“Eh, i think ——- has beef.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Cos she didn’t poke or send anything back when i sent and superpoked her so many times…”
Die la like that.
I bet damn alot of people have beef with me.

Behind The Aluminum Walls
Everytime i drive to the office, it seems to be more and more jammed as more construction trucks and tractors block the lanes.
All in feverous action to finish on time…

Yikes!

Two New Pets
So what happened today.
I took Mummy out to dinner at Somo where we bumped into DoorBitchIvan
“Ivan, this is my mum.”
Ivan: Hi, mum 
Me: -_-
Came home, did some work on a document which resulted in me screaming bloody murder in the dead of the night when the electricity got cut for ten minutes.
Almost done with what i’m supposed to do (yah, so secretive, sorry)
And got distracted thinking of a name for my new Fluffy Friend (after reading about it on BubblesAmanda’s blog). Naming of Fluffy Friend could only take place after much careful thought about *which* Fluffy Friend to pick.
I went with the squirrel in the end because some say i hop and scamper like one.
And then one animal wasn’t enough. I mean, what if Sqamper gets lonely?!
So i got a Rabbit too from the Pets application, so that Sqamper will have a friend on the same page.
I chose a red rabbit (figures) and named her RareWineBit.
Hope they both get along, rabbits and squirrels are fine together right?
Well. They just have to cos they’re totally stuck on the same page.
Unless one gets more pets and pokes and food then another.
Then the other one might get jealous and run away.
They can’t run away can they?
Well. I just gave them one pet each for good measure.
I’m going to be really fair with no favoritism involved.
Damn, i’m going to be such a fab mom.
*ten minutes later*
Oh man. I just realised that RareWineBit is… nekkid.
The others can dress up their pets and shit, some are even wearing Adidas sneakers!
Why so cemerlang wan?!
AlcoJason’s Bloodlust has a beanie, moccasins, gloves and a scythe!
My poor wittle wabbit is nekkid

Char Koay Teow & Fried Rice
The girls and i were talking about different types of vibrators… save one. Girl, i mean, not vibrator.
Dhanya is totally against vibrators.
“No i just don’t see it as something i need! I need feelings and rather have the real thing!”
I was exasperated, trying to explain that sometimes, it’s just much easier and more effortless having a vibrator.
No mind games with men, no one night stands, and battery companies are happy.
“Dhanya, it’s different! It’s like char koay teow and fried rice. Sometimes…” i put one palm facing out for emphasis, “…You feel like char koay teow. And sometimes,” i put the other palm out, “… You feel like fried rice.”

When Denial Is Not The Road
To Jalan Anymore
So i can’t fit into all my Zara cropped pants anymore.
I ignore and stash it to the back of my mind.
KinkyPugKevin stares at me while i’m driving, “Is that… your tummy?! You better take care ar…”
I hmm him and plot on what we’ll have for dinner and drinks.
Then my team manager says to me, “Yeah man, you’ve put on weight.”
I wave his comment away after a few seconds.
What does he know about looking good?
This week DatinTini stared at me and nagged, “Joyce. You cannot already. You have to diet.”
I peer at her meekly and go ‘i know.’
Then the ultimate statement came…
… when my manicurist asked me whether i’m pregnant.
Pause for silent drama.
The moment the sentence ended on her lips, i stared back at her wide-eyed not knowing how to respond because, honestly, i’ve *never* been asked that before.
I looked down at my tummy self-consciously, doing that slowly-trying-to-suck-it-in-without-seeming-obvious thing.
