I thought they started it for fucks and couldn’t really perform 
Proved me wrong guys!

Been catching up on sleep ever since the Leftblock x Nike Sportswear event was over and done with.
Even after the event,
i was still having dreams about it -_-
resulting in a groggy panic of oh no we screwed up the swap fashion show, D-I-E forever!! wait. that was a dream. cos the event’s over already. right? righT. phewwww zzzzzz

Saturday was spent buying stuff in Ikea for the apartment.
I feel like the patient husband waiting for the indecisive other half
on choosing dishracks, trash cans and balcony furniture.

Seriously okay, we spent 20 minutes discussing what trash cans to buy:
Him: “I think the white one will be nice, cos everything in the apartment is white.”
Me: “Okay baby, that’s a good idea.”
Him: “But.. maybe not. I’m not sure i like this design. I really wanted the silver kind that opens and is tall bla bla bla…”
Me: “Urm okay, but they don’t have that.”
Him: “Maybe we should ask.”
Me: “Okay.” *goes to ask and returns* “No, they don’t have the specific ones you want…”
Him: “Yeah, so maybe i’ll just go with these ones…”
Me: “Good idea! We came to buy these anyway.”

*after choosing colours for 5 minutes*

Him: “No. I feel this is not right. I don’t want these anymore. *puts them all back*
Me: *tears hair out*

I veered towards this kiddy leaf thing that you can hang over your bed,
and went to lie down under with a face going I WANT

And his going YOU’RE CRAZY

Finally managed to pick out some balcony furniture
(after the same procedure as choosing trashcans, but at least, we ended up with a chair + table)
and made our way to check out counter.

Was halfway yawning at counter, when i heard someone calling, “Joyce!”
Turns out it was my old neighbour Munirah,
who must’ve thought i looked like the most excited person ever in Ikea.
*insert sarcasm*

We unpacked everything at home,
with me shrieking, “Put the cardboard to one side! I’ll take it to recycle!”

Rushed to Bar Italia to see Herukh sing.
‘Twas the 2nd time i’ve seen him sing, the first being at Tenggiri.

Had beer, gin + tonics, tequila shot,
and was all nice and happy to start dancing to the songs,
when it was all over -_-

Timing, Herukh, timing.
Tau tak?

Clem and i were tipsy and tired and wanted to leave,
but Herukh wouldn’t let us,
saying he’d sing downstairs later la (even tho i was cajoling him for an encore for AGES)
bla bla bla.

So i pulled out the wild card: “Look Herukh, the truth is we wanna go home and have lots of sex. Okay?”
He then told Clem ‘what was he waiting for?’ and pushed us off quickly.
Haha.

Truth is > i went home,
argued about the Mystery of the Missing Soap Bar,
wolfed down a McD’s Chicken McDeluxe,
and passed out…
while Clem sulked in front of the TV.

:p

Mystery of the Missing Soap Bar >

“Did you throw away my soap bar?”
“No. Why would i throw away your soap -_-”
“It ees not there!”
“Well, i don’t even use it, so i really don’t know where it is.”
“I know you don’t like my bar of soap.”
“Yes, soap bar sucks! Gel soap is SO MUCH BETTER. But that doesn’t mean i’d throw it away!”
“Then where ees eet?!”
“How would i know! Maybe *you* accidentally threw it away yourself!”
“No! Why would i do that!”
“Or maybe, it accidentally dropped on the floor and you haven’t found it.”

*we both then start looking for a bar of soap in the cramp bathroom at 3am like drunkard idiots*

This would be the part where if we had a housemate,
they’d come in and wonder what the heck we’re doing,
and we’d go “Oh, we’re looking for the soap”
like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

“There ees no soap here.”
“No. There isn’t. I have no idea where it’s gone.”
“You must’ve have thrown it away.”
“Oh for fuck’s sake.”

(damn. i forgot what it’s like to couple-argue over the most nonsensical thing -_-)

*the next day*

“I still don’t know where my soap has gone.”
“Gosh, are you still ON about your soap? Stop accusing me of throwing away your soap!”
“I’m not accusing you. In its place is all your make up. Why did you throw my soap away!?”
“Hahaha you’re TOTALLY ACCUSING ME!”

Hence, refer to blogpost title -_-
Reading back, i’m thinking damn,
i’m bringing my blog to a whole new level.
*imagines interview going on*
“So, Joyce, what do you blog about?”
“Oh random things, missing soap, etc.”
“…”

Lame-O.

Sunday was supposed to be Scrabble Sunday,
but we ended up playing Monopoly Deal (which is so much better!)

Pink Sage ran out of Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream for its milkshake
so i had root beer instead,
which Clem thought tasted like medicine (but i love medicine. cough medicine :p)

Tianna, FaiTheMai, Clem

Jessie, Apsahahahah

Monopoly Deal is so much faster and fun to play with than the ol’ Monopoly board game!
Imma get a pack too (the cards yesterday were Fai’s & Aps’) so we can include more ppl
and be one big geeky card-playing bunch :p

Every woman goes through a fanatic phase of buying a certain type of something.
Heck, i know i did.
For lots of things.
Way too many things.

Bags, amongst one of them.

I say if you nod yes to more than half of the below, you have a problem. Like me.

You’re a bagaholic when:

#1. Any reason, is a reason to buy a bag.

i.e. SALE.
i.e. fairies on advertising campaign
i.e. WHAT IF I DECIDE TO COME BACK AND IT’S GONE
i.e. i don’t have a bag like that in particular pattern/colour/style
i.e. you just got your paycheck
i.e. it’s your birthday
i.e. it’s your dog’s birthday
i.e. SALE
i.e. SALE

#2. You own more handbags than you actually use.

I have rows of handbags + clutches in my room.
Half of which i’ve barely used, and when i do, get questions like:

Ash: Oh, nice bag!
Me: Thanks!
Ash: When did you get it?
Me: Er, had it for damn long already la.
Ash: Never see you use also 

jimmy choo, saba

#3. You apply the 5-second rule for a dropped clutch.

You know the 5-second rule?
Where if you drop something edible on the floor,
as long as you pick it up within 5 seconds, it’s still okay to eat it.

I thought it was a bit stupid but it seemed to work with bags
Like the less time it spent on the floor,
the less horrid dirt it’d pick up,
the less pain my poor bag would feel
>_<

#4. You’re comforted by a bag at point of trauma.

StephTheVolcano still remembers with disbelief how i hugged my newly-bought Anya Hindmarch right after i was a target for snatch theft,
and was sitting on the sidewalk in tears and blood.

She told quite a few friends about it too  >.<

“I can’t believe how all you cared about was your bag!”
“Hey… i just bought it the day before okay… and i had money and stuff in it.”
“She was like,” *turns to friends* ” ‘oh thank god they didn’t get my bag hahaha‘ and hugging it. “
“:p”

#5. You ask people whether you can touch their bag.

Okay, so i shamelessly admitted i’ve done this a few times.
Back in college when i could never think of even affording such a bag,
i once asked Dorcas whether i could hold her Murakami x LV
to look at in reverence for ten seconds outside Atmosphere :p
(i don’t care whether some of you think it’s ugly, i really liked the white one!
‘Twas so pop art awesome!)

#6. You sacrifice proper meals for that one bag.

Okay, this one, i haven’t personally done (cos food take precedence over bags for me)
But I HAVE HEARD many girls who say they bought one bag,
and ended up having to eat maggie mee / toast for the rest of the month.

Seriously. Siao or what!

#7. You’d rather carry a nice bag than wear decent clothes.

“You can dress as shitty as you want as long as you have your Chanel handbag.”
– Kanchiny R.

I learnt that line from QueenKanch. To the point it was a post title back in 2007.
Also remember her saying that it’s okay to wear pajamas out as long as you have a nice designer bag on your arm

#8. Your family members comment on it.

Me: Does this match better, or this one?
NickIsTaller: Maybe if you don’t have so many bags, it’d be easier to choose 

Daddy: You’d better go arrange your bags properly.
Me: Huh? What’s wrong with them?
Daddy: What’s wrong? Have you seen how precarious they look on your shelf? One day they’re going to fall on your while you’re sleeping!

+ + + + +

So how many could you relate to?

I am proud to say, that of recent,
i’ve been very angelic with my bagaholism.

I try to keep away from stores,
cos not looking, is also not buying impulsively.

Then a bigger obstacle hit – online shopping.
During this time, i stumbled onto Reebonz while working for TIC.

A bag and accessories website.

Selling authentic designer goods at a cheaper price.

Just pay by cc or paypal.

Justifying to myself that this was for ‘work research’,
i signed up some time last year,
and have been constantly checking the website as they update new ‘events’ with items for sale every 2-3 days.

I even joined some contest they had last year
(and i almost never join contests >.<)

Not to mention…
the sale part [Ref. #1 on list above] was ridonculous!

Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Balenciaga,
Tods, Prada, Gucci, Miu Miu,
Coach, Kate Spade, Givenchy, Lanvin…

25%, 40%, 80% off?!

Yau mo….

(i don’t speak chinese, but sometimes these phrases pop into my head proving my chinese-ness  )

And not only that, but Reebonz is not charging Malaysians shipping or taxes right now!
So you get to save even MORE $!

There are a couple of ongoing contests on Reebonz right now
which methinks other bagaholics like me (recovering or not) will appreciate.

#1 – Win a Balenciaga Holiday First bag!

bag; thirtyfour

I got lotsa nice compliments on my dress and went,
“Thanks! My boyfriend got it for me  “

Someone said something which i’m unsure is a compliment or insult:
“You know Joyce, you like wearing all your weird clothes and all,
but it’s nice to see you wearing something elegant like this once in a while!”

I know la.
But i still like my ‘weird’ clothes okay.
So THERE!
