Partying. And Paying for it. Health wise!

This is a bit late (yar, it’s considered late when it comes to blogs cos ability to put it up the night itself or the morning after is its USP!) but i had to blog it anyhoo.
I went for the BMW F1 party last year, and honestly speaking, it was such a great party (with a massive budget) that i took so many pictures, we all looked too happytrashed for our own good, hence never putting them up.

Basically there were too many pictures and they were taking too much time to put up!

This year round, a friend got me passes (cos i urm really couldn’t be bothered to call bm ppl) on the account i blogged about it.

So here i am blogging about it! (tho it’s a better i get made to blog about things like this else i’d be really lazy and backlogged)!

The location was the same as last year’s (near KLCC) but it was one storey instead of two like ‘07.

Dahlah constructing a venue from flat ground is impressive.
But seeing people like the rest of my family members all own BMWs (with the exception of their daughter who spends her fortune on fashion), i would think they’d cash out on enough BMW fans to have returns in some sort.
To spend on ppl during the F1.
Mm hmm.

Someone said to me, “Why do you have to blog about the BMW event?”
“I said i would!” i answered.
“They don’t need any publicity, everyone knows they throw the best party every year!”
“Yeah, people like us know. What about those who don’t get invited?”
“I always get invited.”

“Yeah. Cos you’re white,” i shot back.

Couldn’t help taking a cheap shot.

Silly

When we registered to go into the event, they handed us ear plugs to which some of us girls were going, “Mmm mhh, yeah, so not glam, we’re so not going to wear them!”

30 minutes later when the revving of the engine was so loud we thought we might damage our eardrums on long-term basis, we hurriedly chucked our bags unto the bar and plugged our ears.

>.<

Sorry no pictures of that… i’m short and not kurang ajar enough to push myself to the front.

Surprised

bmw party

BMW had some percussion people down from Singapore perform, before DJ Sky Nellor (who also performed the year before).

She’s infamous for her, urm, lack of wearing a bra.
A typical Sky Nellor conversation would go like this:
“Eh, the DJ last night was damn good!”
“Yeah man, the chick right?”
“Yeah! The one who doesn’t wear a bra right?”
“Oh yeah! Thatonethatone! But she’s cun sial!”

Yeah.

That’s Sky Nellor for you.

I’d so sleep with her though.

This here below, is Roen Cian Nagapan.
He complained before, “Fuck man Joyce, you never put me on your blog until i threw a freaking party!”

Yeah, here was the party he threw. For DikHaHaHau.
And i’m putting you again cos… you fetched me to the BMW event (though you drove like insane till i never want you to fetch me again) cos i was too tired to drive that night and wanted to drink without worrying.

I hadn’t heard his corny lines for a long time.
And hearing them again, i was going, “Shite… luckily i don’t see you so much anymore, beh tahan wei!!!”

*****************
This was taken last week at the Stylo event.
I went with my fabulous (yeah, i’m going the stylo nancy yeoh expression way) friend, Justin Yap (i’m plugging him kau kau, don’t mind me).
He came to the office before we left for the event to dress me up in one of his 2006 creations.
Honestly, i’m a dress wearer. I love dresses.
I buy dresses.
I keep these dresses.

But.

Never in my life, has a dress made me feel so much like a woman.

I was posing (sendiri in a corner) like a peacock, moving differently, and feeling differently altogether!
Couldn’t help telling him about it and he got awfully pleased.
I don’t know how to explain it, i never knew a dress could make me feel that way.
I felt invincibly sexy and well, ready to walk into any party feeling like i could conquer its crowd.

Jus + Joyce

Sorry, was having too much fun to take a full-length picture in the dress, will do so Winky

Below is a pic from Stylo during their alldressedup show (i really adore alldressedup btw. nobody ever alerted me the brand, its quirkiness took me in on its own!)

RowdyRudy and i.
I asked someone to take a picture of us and another photographer stood next to my friend to take a shot as well.
Rudy ended up looking at the pro photog’s cam.
Slut.

********************

I *tried* having a healthy Sunday a couple of weeks ago.
After drinking every day for events and parties, i tend to have this delusional effort to have a healthy diet by eating well, wholesome food.
And where better to do it then Marmalade.

Went to the Mont Kiara outlet.

marmalade

I had some celery (i adore celery!) + apple + cucumber juice.
And chicken stew. And boiled broccoli.

Then RowdyRudy had to FUCK up my health plan by whining and convincing me to have drinks.
On a Sunday afternoon.
I have to say, last time, i would drink any freaking time of the day (okay, fine, i still do at times >.<).
Just that nowadays… i try to cut down for health’s sake and… just to make myself feel better la okay.

-_-

guinness at clear

Had pints of Guinness at Clear, Mont Kiara.
-_-

Went to try out Gold Class at Gardens and watched The Spiderwick Chronicles, which i loved!
Cos of the fairies in it :p
I couldn’t help it… many of the facts i read up about fairies (like how they make a high-pitched sound) ran through in the movie.

gold class @ gardens

RM60 per tix.
But we happened to be the only ones in the entire place.

Too cool.

 

We’re throwing it down!!!

RowdyRudy’s birthday is early April, and mine’s in mid-April.
One day, or more probably, night, we excitedly blabbered that we should have a joint birthday party since we know most of the same people anyway!

We just locked down our venue two days ago and now we’ve got to really meet up and sort out who we’ll invite (cos it’ll be small, er we hope, shebang), deco, dj, etc. We already have our theme, it’s gonna be crazy kiddy carnival whacky with clown and magician cos we never want to grow up! Think bali-mika times!

I had a quick lunch meeting with oh rowdy one to plan our birthdays a bit, and 20 minutes is NOT enough time.
We started forming categories - hitz and mix ppl, band ppl, family, media friends, fashion friends, old raver kaki friends.

“We have to really cut the list down y’know, and oh, there she goes writing another category..!” he declared in exasperation as i scrawled into my notebook.

Anyway, we figure we can’t accommodate/layan so many at one time… so we’re going to have an all day party.
15 hours, i think. WHACK!

Sponsors/advertisers are welcome Shy Laughing
What we give in return would be
- publicity on my blog
- your brand being consumed/used by our friends who are all AWESOME.
- urm, i’ll think of more reasons later ha ha!

I must never lose my notebook man… all my work notes are written in it. *sweats*

Was super busy in the office and my mind is all over the place.
Navin had to ask me to calm down while we were talking.
And Navin… man, he’s so in demand that booking him for a meeting is tough shit!
The moment we sat down to discuss something, his appointment would arrive and he’d run off leaving me all, “goddammit 0_-”
Was listening to a lot of The Bird and The Bee to be less kancheong/flighty.

What i wore today. I look stunted cos Irman took it from a high angle (ya la i’m short) and i almost started crying cos the sun was shining right into my eye.

I’m gonna bawl…
vintage top, bought from Ah Xu at the junk sale for RM25
long grey top, er… Gap or something similar (i’m wearing it now, can’t see tag la)
brown leather belt, courtesy of mother
opaque tights, Topshop
heels, Vincci
bag, Peach painted his image of me while we spoke in bkk

Okay i mustn’t wear grey tomorrow -_-

On another Reza Salleh note, guess what’s new on Junk!?
Not only can one stalk him, but because of his increasing popularity, Junk has decided to take advantage of it and let the public ask him questions!

Reza Salah

Would you just look at that.

Hmm i was just thinking what would make a great charity event addition, we auction RezaSexyGrin off for dinner!
To have* dinner with him.
Not have him for dinner.
Tho… i can think of a handful of girls who would like to devour him.
