That Glass House

Published on May 8, 2008 in Events. 2 Comments

Last night was the Apostrophe event at this gorgeous little glass house (that’s what i call it anyway) right across the road from BSC. In order to exhibit the finalist videos, tvs were placed in different settings throughout the glass house.

The settings had random objects making some freaky, some quirky and all just a bit weird, which was great!

Apostrophe Gallery

They showed the ‘chicken’ video, with a plate of chicken wings served there. I’m not sure whether this was intentional.
I chomped on chicken wings while watching someone break chickens’ necks on the screen.
“How can you do that?” someone asked, “That’s just sick!”
“Urm…” i chewed carefully, “I, er, watched this video before?”
“Still!”

Oh man, this room was kinda scary. They set up some dummies in bed which made me stone for a while when i stepped into the room.

After a minute, Rudy and i had this idea where maybe after a few drinks, i’d go lie in the bed and scare the shit out of ppl when he lures them in.

It was so hot we didn’t bother :p

*********************
Yeah, so i’m no longer a redhead. Milcah wanted to change it, and since i pretty much let her do whatever she wants to my hair, i agreed. Apparently she got sick of people referring to me as ‘Red-haired Joyce’ and prollie did it to throw them off tangent. I don’t mind, rather, embracing the change. It does get a bit tiring when people keep on staring in malls or sussing me out in a crowd to talk and i happen to be very tired and end up being branded snobby cos i cannot layan properly -_-

So now it’s blue-black with a dash of red.
I like it, and think i’ve unconsciously been wearing black (according to Salah Chan) to match my hair, cos like, i feel all goth and shit now, y’know? *flips black hair*

Okay it’s late. And when i start typing like this, it means it’s time to get off the comp.

 

Hennessy Artistry @ Velvet, Zouk

I know this is a bit backlogged but you know why?
Cos after i susah payah upload the pictures unto a post, it went screwy on me and i couldn’t bear to continue it till i had ample time. I only had ample time on Monday night since i didn’t have any events/something to go for.

I went for the Hennessy event i blogged about one Friday after work. Nick of Nuffnang was layan enough to pass me extra VIP invites to invite my friends as well. Being the last-minute person i am, i invited QueenKanch, FaiTheMai and AshleyTheMonkey to go for it with me on the day itself :p

Hennessy Artistry

I told them to meet me outside at a certain time cos i was to be punctual. And usually they are, just for once… all three were late -_-

The whole point of inviting your friends to an event with you is so that they’d suffer early in the night with you right. :xshy:

So i waited outside for them…

buggers these people don\'t know how to come on time... -_-

In all honesty, i don’t mind waiting alone unless i’m late for something, then it gets me antsy.
Cos while i’m waiting, i can just stone and space out while taking a chill pill from work.

I watched people queuing up at the registration booth - for those who registered online, invited guests, VIP guests and media. I was quite surprised people came early and on time for a party event, which was a good thing, no doubt!

outside

There was also an Art of Mixing booth outside to pique curiosity from bystanders like me, which was pretty cool. People were encouraged to ask their silly questions from a professional DJ while fiddling around with the turntables and mixer to try out what it’s like behind the decks. If anything, i think it enabled guests to appreciate a DJ more cos it’s not as easy as it looks once you’re behind it doing the work!

DJs that were to look forward to that night were DJ Andrew K, DJ Keri and VJ Callen.

The gang finally arrived and we trooped inside.

PR dude Ian was super layan and took us to our reserved table. I saw Deep and gang at the lounge area and went to say hi to them. After fluttering around catching up with people around there, i realised where my gang was seated was so not happs so i dragged them all to where the action was.

The poser and the dreadlocked

QueenKanch + moi (we had to take three pictures before she approved -_-)

Sometimes i’m damn scared when i take Kanch out for events. Cos the woman is damn diva and if she doesn’t like it, she’ll give a sniff of disapproval, make a polite excuse and leave.

Luckily she didn’t ditch me that night. Because apparently there were a lot of cute guys (i didn’t see any… maybe cos i don’t switch my radar on anymore)

Kanch: Ooh… i like this event. At least they tapis the crowd… Nice, nice *nods*

Trust her to come up with a phrase of tapis-ing the crowd…

I bumped into Van who introduced me to Andrew K (one of the DJs featured that night), and i thought i might as well camwhore with him for this post :xlaughing:

I had no idea what to expect from his music but it turned out fantastic and got me going into party mode!

doress + the canvas

Doress + EddyTheCanvas

I hadn’t seen much of Doress since the first time i met her in Bali, suddenly bumped into her with them and we drank lots and lots of Hennessy cocktails.

:xsilly:

Which are, by the way, really tasty and strong.

hennessy artistry

I’ve never been a fan of Hennessy as i always see it as an old’s man drink that i end up drinking when the boys in Somo open a bottle or other friends do. It’s just that with other tastier drinks around, i don’t see why i had to make myself suffer with Hennessy when i could order something else stronger and better.

That event changed my mind.

Velvet waiters just kept on coming with the Hennessy City Cocktails. I loved it cos you never had to crane your neck to look for a waiter when your drink was done, they were already waiting with a tray of them!

For the Hennessy City Cocktails (admittedly i like name), there’s Hennessy Miami, Hennessy Shanghai, Hennessy Moscow and Hennessy Paris.

And they were good! Each had a distinct taste so everyone eventually pinpointed which one they liked best. Not only did they taste luscious but they were strong too.

I fancied the Hennessy Miami best.

Hennessy Artistry

They even have all the recipes on the Hennessy Artistry website so you can try concocting them for yourself if you missed the event :xwinky:

Now i know what to do when my guy friends get together for a house party and drink Hennessy… i can make these and my complaints will cease!

They call him ‘nigger’ and asking me to do the same. Even Junil himself said so. But… i can’t very well call him nigger on my blog!!!

grinny me + doress

This is me on too many Hennessy City Cocktails :xwhatevah:

I went to say hi to Callen, who was working it on the visuals for the night.

I kept on bugging him to pose. He gave me…

And then…

Like an uncle. We need to give you Posing Tuition…

DJ Keri was on stage singing, so i crept up to take a pic.

Fail = Blur because tipsy people don’t know how to change digicam settings.

Also taking pics of DJ Keri was ShaolinTiger.

open your eyes la bro

JP couldn’t open his eyes after all that Hennessy.

uh oh...

alamak. again terlupa -_-

This girl came to take pics with me and being the happy friendly drunk i am, i asked for her name and took a picture with her too. I forgot it after half an hour, sorry!

I forced myself to leave Velvet at 1am… or was it 2..? Cos i’d really had enough to drink already.

QueenKanch and i went for supper with Roen (SEE. I’M WRITING YOUR NAME HERE OKAY and it’s not because you threw a party!) and gang who made a big hullabaloo telling funny stories.

The following Monday at work, i bumped into Van in the pantry. We barely chat at work.

Van: Andrew K! *out of nowhere*
Me: … Dude… i woke up the next day remembering how i was dancing in the console okay..!!!

I haven’t gone prancing in the Velvet console like that for at least half a year.
What happened to my composed self?!

I’m blaming the Hennessy City Cocktails.

Malaysian Dreamgirl Finals

Published on April 30, 2008 in Emo, Events and Uncategorized. 53 Comments

I arrived at 1 Utama in time for the finalists’ first appearance, but we were really bored and hungry so RowdyRudy and i fled to Chilli’s to have some grub and tequila shots before heading back down.

Just in time for the winner to be called (thanks to Denise for alerting me :xhappy: )

Malaysian Dreamgirl FinalsMalaysian Dreamgirl Finals
Adeline, Hanis, Cindy and Elaine

Winner of the first Malaysian Dreamgirl was to walk away with
- a Nissan Latio 1.8Ti (A)
- RM10,000 preloaded AmBank NexG PrePaid MasterCard
- RM3,000 Wella Professionals hamper
- RM1,000 worth of Escada fragrances
- RM1,000 worth of Bebe apparel (damn)
- RM500 worth in Nose footwear
- featured in NewMan cover spread

That’s quite a lot man. Especially the car..!

Everytime Hanis came walking out, the cheers were distinctively louder.
“Wow, they really like her, huh?” said Rudy
“Yeah!”

Malaysian Dreamgirl Finals
KennySia, me, RowdyRudy

When Elaine Daly (who emceed) asked who’s supporting Cindy, there weren’t many cheers.
She joked, “Where’s Cindy’s family?”
When she asked who’s supporting Adeline, there weren’t many cheers as well.
When she asked who’s supporting Hanis, you guessed that right, the cheers just went crazy.

The third runner up was to be announced first.

And Hanis’ name got called.

You could feel the shock of the crowd as people went, “Huh? What? Yay! Hanis’ name! Eh, no la, that was third runner up! OMG. HANIS didn’t win!”

“Oh no, look at her… she so thought she’s gonna win…”
“Well, yeah… everyone wanted her to win…”

But i must say, she’s really brave for not crying.
I think if it were me, i’d have bawled like hai on the stage already.

As Hanis got her picture taken for 3rd runner up, the crowd clapped and her supporters still cheered her on, which was really sweet.

Adeline, won 2nd runner up.
And Cindy, won Malaysian Dreamgirl.

You can tell by the way i’m typing i’m so not semangat already right.
-_-

So, behind-the-scenes news (this was told to me by someone involved in the show) was that because this was purely an SMS-voting competition, Cindy’s family threw down 15k worth in votes.

When you think of it, 15k is pretty damn value for a car, RM10k cash back in return, all those other prizes, and buying your daughter’s happiness for her to win the competition.

Another little bird told me that in the week that Ringo was up against Cindy to be voted out, Ringo’s mom and bro SMSed RM4,000 worth… and Ringo STILL lost.

Can you imagine how much money Cindy’s family has been chucking in then?

Man, the Malaysian Dreamgirl show sure made a lot of money from this system.

I feel sorry for Hanis but i thought she’s really brave for putting up a smile (probably till she reached backstage).

After the announcement, i was like, “BAH. Let’s go,” and we went to have some merlot at Cribs.

We were talking about it for a while and i was like, “Eh! We should get her number and send her an sms to make her feel better!”
So i got her number from KennySia and we smsed - “KinkyBlueFairy and Rudy from Hitz.fm would like to say we totally support you and what a travesty the outcome was. Don’t cry k, you’ll go far girl. Kisses.”

What i think is, look at it this way - you’re 17, you got on a national reality TV show, you won some money, managed to garner a huge following, you have so many supporters and hey, so what, you didn’t win.
But this is just the beginning for you. :xwinky:

 

OMG. Fairy Festival!!!

Published on April 23, 2008 in Events. 7 Comments

Thanks to Sasha Peiwen for emailing me the link!

First Annual
World Fairy Festival
May 3 through 4, 2008

Fairies are nature’s angels who protect our air, water, land, plants, and animals. They are the angels who keep our planet green. The more people who believe in fairies, the more power they have to help our environment. Cultures who believe in fairies generally have better produce, more parks, and more respect for the environment.

Our goal with World Fairy Festival is to educate about the reality of fairies, and to learn from their important lessons:

1. Having fun and playing is vital to health and happiness. Fun is a necessity, not a luxury.
2. Respect for animals and our environment is paramount. Every person’s contributions count.
3. Fairies are God’s nature angels. They received a bad reputation from people who mistreated the environment, and who were afraid of the power that fairies have (and which they lend to people who respect the environment). This power is God-given, pure, and needed in our world right now to help our earth to heal

Around the globe on May 3 through 4, we’ll be holding Fairy Workshops, Play Days, and other fairy-related events, all hosted by certified Angel Therapy Practitioners® and Angel Intuitives™. Please keep checking to find a World Fairy Festival event near you, and plan to attend. You’ll be glad that you did!

We’ll send waves of healing energy to our Mother Earth during the festival, and ten percent of the proceeds will be donated to local environmental and children’s charities.

Check it out! There’ll be a Fairy Festival in KL too!

RudyFairyFest Brings You…

Published on April 21, 2008 in Birthdays and Events. 13 Comments

Okay.
So RowdyRudy’s emoing with me.
Firstly, because, according to his words, “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU TOOK RUDYFAIRYFEST AND COMMERCIALISED IT!!! WHAT ABOUT ME?!”

He blared me for damn long.
Then ended with, “You dirty bitch,” while shooting me a look that made me feel like i stole all his toys.

(btw, we met up today to talk Toy Custody and it’s just too difficult to divide, daymn, how the hell do people divorce and do this shit? No wonder things get ugly. Of course… i don’t think they’re fighting over toys… more adult stuff like cars and apartments. Oh and we’re not adults. We’re in denial.)

So, because we’ve already started the Facebook group called Cat Got Your Tongue and we can’t change the name…
“Why not?” asked RowdyRudy.
“It’s just this clause Facebook has… kinda like, what if you joined the group, “I love pinatas.” Then the next day they changed it to “I love cock.” Then how?!”
“HAHAHAHA!!!”

Okay so point made.
We cannot change the FB group name for now (there’s a reason why we chose that name but that story lari-ed also, so we gotta cut the confusion man!) cos we already have over 600 members.

“Where are these people from?!”
“My friends… other ppl’s friends… it’s facebook man!”

This is where we start our cult.
Our crazy cartoon-loving, toy-sharing (if you’re not scared people take yours home), kiddy colourful world of insanity.
We’re talking Mika-loving in Bali.
We’re talking RudyFairyFest thrown down in Impiana.

Okay. I’m typing this as he’s reading over my shoulder -_-
And he’s going, “NOW ADD PICTURE OF ME.”

From Bali. To KL baby.

Okay. Picture okay?
Nah. That was when RudyFairyFest was born.
In Bali baby.
RudyFairyFest

And that’s RudyFairyFest Party 1 of ‘08 early this month.

Okay. The fellow better not ask me search for single picture of him now.
I tired already -_-

Fuck, he’s making me laugh going, “WHY NOT?” now.
Die. Don’t need la!!!

So here’s a list of RudyFairyFests we’ve had so far this month:
01 - All of the Sat the 5th @ Impiana
02 - Fri the 11th, we relived Bali in his house, surrounded by toys toys toys. (i failed to blog about it sorry)
03 - Sat the 12th, we got a table in 21 (okay this one a bit fail. cos we were too partied out from the previous day, sorry.)
<Then RowdyRudy flew back to Bali with his sister Tianna for a week to RudyFairyFest it there… minus the fairy. Beef. Okay la, they did ask me. I really couldn’t run away from work so last min :( >
04 - Sat the 19th, i dragged them back to 21 where we danced. And danced. And danced. And then had chicken wings in Jalan Alor.
05 - This Thursday!

:xwinky:

Winky

Come out and play, on a Thursday!!!

I promise to put his picture on our next flyer.

So it’s this Thursday, in Mansion at 9pm.
Join the FB group *here*
And RSVP on the event so you don’t have to pay the RM50 cover!

What can you expect this Thursday?

First of all, i got the Mansion people to agree to letting me have a kiddy pool placed outside.
Biresh helped me ask them.
“She wants what?!” - Joanna of Mansion
“A kiddy pool…”

LOL. RowdyRudy and i think IT ROCKS they’re letting us turn their place crazy for one night.
(He’s walking around the room mumbling to himself about getting Fan Yang bubbles as i’m typing now…)

Yes. We’re bringing Fan Yang bubbles, our spinners we love!
I’m bringing Mr Elephant and Rockstar.
RowdyRudy’s still deciding as i type what toy he’s going to bring cos he’s afraid he’ll lose it.
Now he’s saying he’s going to put his name on his spinner in case he loses it.
I’m like, “Dude, people will KNOW it’s ours la!”
“I don’t care! I think everyone should put their name on their toy!”

So yeah. :xwhatevah: Whatevah
According to RowdyRudy, put your name and number on your toy in case things get too crazy and you lose it.

Unavoidably, we’re going to drown you with some Mika-lovin and have Mika Appreciation Time. (at least an hour!, oh rowdy one is shouting. -_- okay, maybe too much, he decides after realising how we might Mika-fry people)

We’re throwing games and giving out prizes, toys obviously!
Sea monkeys take (shit it’s so hard typing this while he’s practicing on the mini basketball game and cursing, it’s damn funny) a spot amongst the prizes since people were getting SO competitive for it last time!
Other toys we’re giving out are My Little Ponies and er, we haven’t figured the rest out yet. We’re going to Toys ‘R Us on Tuesday to shop.

We’re bringing the mini basketball game that was played at the Impiana party.
BUT we’re only gonna take it out for the competition part and not leave it around cos… cannot la, we’re afraid people will lose the balls all.

We’re over our heads with the toys we gotta buy, the ones we’re bringing/hanging from us, games we gonna play early in the night in between DJ Le Kelvin (who’s also part of the Twilightactiongirl foursome), and kiddy pool.

So what do you* have to come with?

1. Come with your toy.
Any toy. Your favourite toy. Your toy of the moment if you must (since some people are too indecisive).
Bring anything else happifying you want to - candy floss! Lollipops! Bubbles! Whistles!

2. Dress in happy kiddy colours.
And patterns. Be flamboyant if you like.

3. (not necessary but would be nice) Bring a floatable toy for the Kiddy Pool God.
This is obviously Rudy’s idea. Since we’re having a kiddy pool outside, we’re thinking people should throw in a small funny something in some sort of token for the Kiddy Pool God to ask for happiness and love.

Yes, we do realise after typing that we do sound a little crazy but fuck it.

*Only 18 and above, sorry. But we’ll be waiting for you to join us once you come of age.

*Cool, check it ;) *click*
