“I should go get Brand’s Essence of Kitchen.” - STB

STB is Sad Tired Brain.
As that’s what It said to me as i was driving home.
And i was so tired i ter-took the wrong turning and took even *longer* to reach home.

Whatevah

I intentionally came home before 1am today because i really wanted to blog about Global Gathering.

And my pc decided to die on me.

“What’s wrong? You didn’t fix it?!” i cajoled NickIsTaller after he took a look.
“I don’t know la. I’m going to go to sleep, i’ll look at it again tomorrow.”

I almost wept cos i was so tired and upset okay.
Plus i left my laptop in the office so i’m using my mum’s now.
At least i have internet ,though no Photoshop (so no pictures for now, sorry, i’m as disappointed as you are!)

So today will be all babbling and text :D
I got a nice little surprise when i saw that DatinTini took some FB quiz (something about what’s important in life to us) and FB dubbed us ‘Twins’ cos we have a whopping similarity of 98%!

Besides that, we both got so into work that we didn’t have breakfast or lunch and grudgingly submitted to ordering Mickey Ds in the office at 5pm when we couldn’t take it anymore.

My brain started malfunctioning later at night when i started typing wrong and blurted out to her, “Look at me!” when i meant, “Look at me, i’m such a dunggu!” cos we were doing a report together.
She jerked her head and stared into the side of my face.
“What?!” i blared.
She continued staring, “I’m looking at you la! You asked me to look at you!”

Crazy bitch made me laugh so much.

Then our emails started screwing up on us and she couldn’t use her email, so i sent out some invite to our direct team regarding Lam’s farewell party.
Semangat type stupid things in it like a made-up dress code and rubbish.
We both stared at it, wondering whether we missed anything out.
Venue, yeah. Time, yeah. Ok ok, send!

DikHaHaHau emailed me back a mere minute later - “Eh genius, when’s the date?”

0_o
I is so fail.
Emailed the team event updates on what i know is going on in KL for the next couple of weeks (not that i know alot okay, i only know the ones i’m invited to. Everyone keeps on asking me, ‘So, what’re you going for tomorrow?’ and i usually go, ‘nothing. i don’t know anything. i only know if someone, like YOU, invites me!’)
Along with the event updates, i included news on the Club 21 sale.

Laughing

It’s open to public this Friday-Sunday, 10AM-8PM
JW Marriott Hotel
, Level 4, Starhill 3
Brands include: AX, CK, EA, GA, Max&Co., MaxMara, Paul Smith, Song+Kelly21

Lam emailed back that sales weren’t exactly considered an event to be flabbergasted about.

Hmph.

Went for the Juicy Couture launch @ Pavilion on Tues night and you know how all these launches are the same thing over and over again?
The same people, the same drinks, the same chatter, the same dress code, bla bla bla, but i can safely say for myself and others that *that* was a FANTASTIC party.
I was blown away by the diversity and funkiness of the people who went!
Quite a number of new faces, and so much interesting chit chat.
I so want to know who did their PR. It was magnificent.

This random white dude kept on smiling at me and we introduced ourselves.
But then he started following me around (he was quite drunk) and i really didn’t feel like making conversation with him so i introduced him to whomever was around me, hoping he’d talk to them instead whilst i ran off.

He found me outside later on and i thought, okay la, talk to the fellow a bit, won’t die right.
Plus he probably doesn’t know many people here and a bit kesian.

“So, where do you work?” i asked, cos really, that’s the easiest question when you don’t know what to talk about.
“I work for —-.”

No shit. That’s where *i* work. 0_o

“Which brand are you with?”
i pressed.
“——–”
“Oh!… are you based in KL?” I was pretty sure i haven’t seen him around headquarters, though then again, there *are* hundreds of people in the company.
“No, i’m based in Seoul actually, i’m just here for a few days.”
“Ah, work trip. When’re you going back?”
“In a few hours. My flight leaves soon.”
Wah the fellow quite mabuk and can still make it for flight? Champion.

“Shit… how are you gonna make it there on time?”
“Oh no worries, the limo will take me.”
“Ah, i see.”
“Where do you work?”

Ding, ding, ding! The million dollar question.

“I… work for —-. Same as you!” i laughed.
“NO!”
“Yes.”
“No! I don’t believe you! You’re bluffing me.”

I fished out my name card and he squinted down at it.

“Shit. The only girl i hit on and you work at —-”
I couldn’t stop laughing.
“Oh well.”

Scampering off, i found DikHaHaHau and told him my funny story.
As expected, he roared with laughter at the incident.
“Babe, that was head of brand for ——- in Korea, hahaha!”
“Oh well.”

Then DikHaHaHau got a bit TooTooDrunk and i drove him back to Dax’s exgallery on his pretense that he’d ‘teman’ me.

He passed out in my car and mumbled, “I can’t believe Joyce Mabuk Wong is taking care of me…”

-_-

Should leave you at the side of the road next time.
Linkage!
Check out Antares’ Adoi online!

Also, Miss NatalieKerneesee (i think that’s how it’s pronounced…) has jumped unto the blogging bandwagon.

 

“It’s not Global Gathering. It should be Groundwater Gathering.” - Joyce

 Global Gathering was damn 7 super muddy and messy can die.

Mixed reviews from everyone whether they enjoyed themselves or not.
I told KPKevin that the only ones who enjoyed themselves were the ones who were high la.

I was utterly sober till 1 am cos was doing work and didn’t want to keep on going to the bathroom from guzzling beer.

One picture first, i gotta run to work now.
Nik, Joyce, Caspar

Nik, me and Caspar

I couldn’t find my favourite people after i finished work :(
But i bumped into these two and they entertained me to no end

:D

 

“You have the best job ‘cos you use Facebook for work!” - Ronnie

Just a bit of chitter-chatter while i wait for DatinTini to pick me up.

Someone was telling me that he’ll get me JT tickets.
My reply?

“I’ll add you as a Top Friend if you do!!!”

:p

FlirtyFi: Are you sure?
Me: Yeah, just send me a flower on Facebook and we’ll call it even.

Shucks, Tini’s almost here bye!

Drive safe and party properly everyone!

 

“They were so organised with everything else, they forgot to buy the tickets -_-” - POB

Global Gathering Tonight



I wasn’t excited about tonight at first, seeing we were forced to go and all
But DatinTini’s infectious enthusiasm caught on and now i’m all prepped to party party party!!!

NotYourAverageJo smsed that the rave will be on grass and they brought in 50 truckloads to resand venue due to flood (i don’t know how true this is). And weather forecast says it might rain.

I’m so bringing a showercap and a brollie.

-_-

Last night’s brand party was fun, for the first time, we had a bit TOO much alcohol and had to force them to finish it before going for TAG.

I think it’s a good idea i don’t invite so many people on Fridays cos then, there’s enough alcohol and me :) to go around to layan.

Ok gotta get ready.

Leaving with the team in an hour.

 

“Just take a chill pill and half a cup of shut the fuck up.” - POB

I thought of that line when i popped a tiny yellow pill RudyLaFaber gave me.
He got it from a hospital recently when he got diagnosed for an anxiety attack.

“What does it do?” i asked curiously before taking it.
“It basically relaxes you, it doesn’t do anything to your head, like make you happy or anything, just makes you kinda wave away your work and it suddenly doesn’t seem like so much of a big deal anymore. You know like how that feeling of stress you have, where it swells up inside of you and keeps on getting bigger and bigger? Yeah, that kinda goes away.”
“Oh okay. Can do work or not? I still need to do work later, don’t want to fall asleep!”
“Yeah you can.”

So i took it, thought of that line PassedOutBen was infamous for saying and did my work.

Hmm, well, i didn’t seem to worry that much last night… or maybe it was psychological?
For all i know, he gave me a Vitamin C -_-

Side Allowances

A girl friend of mine gets an allowance from her boyfriend, amounting up to 3k a month.
It’s not that she doesn’t work or anything, we both have roughly the same standard of work = not too bad.
“Oh my god. How did it suddenly turn up that he gives you money?!” i asked incredulously. I really don’t know where my girl friends find these boyfriends who give them money, cars and holidays.
“Eh, I never asked okay, just that one month, i was waiting for some money to come in and he said he’ll give me some a month and it just started from there.”
“… 0_o…”

And she’s not desperate for it as she’s already got her own landed property and other savings she’d confided she has.

One fine and flustered day, she lectured me for doing too much work, “Look at you. Stop doing so much work.”
I shot back playfully, “Eh shut up, i don’t have a boyfriend who gives me 3k a month okay.”

Yeah. That made her shut up.

He’s Back and Bitchier Then Ever

Breaking My Back Just To Know Your Name

Just Hit Me

Cos i think the pain will at least distract me from my back pain right now
I got it while in the opis today and it was so bad, i made DatinTini tekan it while i pressed up against a wall.
The sight caught TylerTheFairysitter’s attention cos it looked… inappropriate

Somehow, i don’t know whether it was DatinTini’s magic touch or what, but it subsided a few hours in the afternoon BUT resumed at night.
I couldn’t even sit still in the restaurant for dinner and drove home in pain.

Got Daddy to massage me a bit.
Mummy blared how can someone young get back pains like this.
Daddy lent me this Biossentials Comfort Pillow which you heat up.
I did so for three minutes in the microwave before draping myself on the sofa like a dead animal to let it rest on my lower back.

I (unintentionally) skipped the La Bodega launch @ Pavilion because i really didn’t want to deal with a loud environment tonight…
Went for dinner at this Korean place upstairs with IceCalvin and planned to head to La Bod to show face then ciao
But i didn’t expect the music to be so loud and everyone was drunk and i memang patronize the place anyway so we tried this new bar a few doors away called Michaelangelo’s
This huge group of superchinese people stared awfully rudely at Calvin and i.
I mean, stare, stare la. But can laugh at us so openly.

IceCalvin just sneered at them and i shrugged, thinking out loud they were being really uncouth.

But you know what.

I REALLY LIKE MICHAELANGELO’S.

I must say they’ve got impeccable service.
Not just one waiter.
Not two.
But all* of them.

Wait.

I have to go put the pack on my back again.
Hey, that rhymes!
Pack on my back, yeah!
… Okay i think the pain is affecting my brain also.

Blog again later.
I’ve missed blogging.
