April 25, 2009Comments Off on I still think a bathroom mat is importantDating Like
So i’m dating someone who’s extremely OCD
The bath towel must always be hung evenly
Nothing must go on the bedroom floor
Toothpaste must be pressed from the end
Clothes have to be hung the moment they’re taken off
Everything must run according to plan and timed to the minute
Everything must be neat and clean 24/7
Anything unnecessary must be thrown out
Ironically, there isn’t even a dustbin (i kid you not) in the study room
Because a dustbin takes up space, he says
-_-
All paper and plastic is recycled
Cotton buds that i use for make up annoy him cos they can’t be recycled
So does a particular type of plastic
And styrofoam
Oh, i could go on
(But i’m not complaining
I find it endearing he wants to recycle everything)
You can only imagine his horror
every time he discovers something atrocious his girlfriend has done
Or rather, has not, cos i’m so disorganized
“Why is your car so messy!” “It’s not that bad!” He drags me to his car, “This, is what a car should look like.” *pretends to look in car in interest* “Ooh ah i see.” “How can your car be so messy!”
“Seriously, you should see my friends’ cars. I have… stuff from events, and things. And no time to clear it :p”
He cleans my car for me.
“Why do you not have a smartag?” he asks as i pay cash at the toll “I do… it doesn’t work, i don’t know why, battery or something.”
He fixes it for me.
That, and many more aside, i’ve also managed to fill his place up with a few things
Throwing his whole ‘minimalist’ approach out the window
I say ‘minimalist’ in inverted commas, “because it’s not minimalist!” “Yes it is.”
“This is bare, not minimalist, you crazy OCD person.”
I want music, i need music, in the bedroom
So i asked to bring some over, “Can i bring my speakers?” “Okay, are they big?”
“No, they’re quite small.”
I brought over a sub-woofer and two mini ones. “Joyce what the fuck is that?!” “My speakers…”
I further broke his rule of ‘nothing on the floor’
by demanding for bathroom mats after i fell down twice
Just the other day, i was brushing my teeth as i caught him tripping over one of them “Stupid mat. You need it so you won’t fall down. And i’m the one falling down because of them!” “But surely you’d rather you fall down than me right!”
I still think a bathroom mat, speakers, and dustbin are necessary -_-
After weeks of denial and self-medication, i went to the doctor yesterday and was told i have conjunctivitis
Two weeks ago TigerJoe sounded me for buying viscous eye gel to treat my dry sore eyes “What are you doing? You shouldn’t be self-medicating!” “I’m pretty sure this is what i need for my eye without going to the doctor…”
“Just GO TO THE DOCTOR.”
Going to the doctor obviously isn’t on my list of priorities :p
(ok so my list of priorities are fucked up)
Now i have to bear with all the people who were nagging me to go to the doctor for so long, like ClaudiaOnCrack
“I told you so! See! Should’ve listened to me!”
Woman, by listening to you all day, i start talking like an international high school kid and think “Efron” when someone talks about their friend “Zack”
-_-
ANYWAY
My doctor prescribed me some eye drops and… some viscous eye gel that looked veeeery familiar
It’s the one that i’ve been putting into my eyes ANYWAY!
Can’t wait to gloat about it to TigerJoe
Hmm but then he’d nag me back that it still didn’t help and i should have gone anyway so…
*harrumph*
Working from home is a nice change
Only difference is
I hear my neighbour yelling at her crying kids for not listening to their grandmother and doing their homework
Instead of
ClaudiaOnCrack talking about Miley Cyrus, or telling Adrian to look at her drawings she made while she was in his meeting
I got to do my coloured + white laundry (2 separate batches of course!)
After hanging my coloured batch, i realise my my, i really DO wear a lot of colours and patterns!
True greatness in any art form is achieved when influences, cultures, ideas, styles and talents, are blended or mixed; and that is what Hennessy Artistry has been doing with its series of events.
Combining a mix of artistes from East and West –
from Asia and US, to Europe and Down Under, Hennessy Artistry‘s goal is to bring artistes of the world to one big party!
I’ve blogged heaps about Hennessy Artistry on KBF before,
and the parties are back again with collaborations between artistes of different genres,
so look forward to collaborating rock and hip hop, pop and music all together!
For the people in KL and Penang, look out for the parties happening this week!
Hennessy Artistry Club Series 1
Date: 23rd April, 2009
Time: 9pm – 3am
Venue: Upstairs @ The Loft, Asian Heritage Row, KL
Hennessy Artistry Club Series 2
Date: 25th April, 2009 Time: 9pm – 3am Venue: QE II, Penang
… where you’ll enjoy performances from Starz Angels, Caprice and VJ Spacebar!
Starz Angels
Combining electro house rhythms and hip hop flows, the trio have been supported by a creative and rigorous web presence.
Responding to the needs of the public, they’ve been performing and gained the respect of industry professionals within a year.
Past venue performances include Techno Parade @ Paris, Winter Music Conference @ Miami, Krave @ Las Vegas, Highland @ Hollywood, Mint @ Hong Kong, Mint @ Shanghai, Bar Rouge @ Shanghai and more!
Performing regularly in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Marbella; they’re extending their presence here to spread their musical message.
Check out a vid from their tour in Thailand:
And their remix of P.Diddy and Keyshia Cole’s Last Night:
Also look out for Jmi Sissoko (is a third element of Starz Angels) who is recognized as one of the best urban artistes in France, for his additional powerful twist of sounds.
Caprice
One of Malaysia’s rising youth icons, Caprice isn’t just an artist, but also an entrepreneur.
His love for music led him to learn the ropes of the industry up to setting up his own record label and production house!
Over the course of a few months, he recorded a few singles, shot 2 music videos, and released 2 songs that shot to #1 on Hitz.FM.
Having worked with Too Phat, Ruffedge, VE, Dayang Nurfaizah, Dr Fadzly, Winnie K, Point Blanc, and Pija (mentor); I’d be very surprised if you don’t find his name familiar at the very least.
Here’s his impressive list of recent achievements!
2004: Joe Flizzow and Friends Concert @ MTV Party at Zouk; Astro Ria with Ruffedge; featured on one song on the Hyperkinetix album.
2005: 2nd Runner Up for the Sun U! Rap Challenge; Ghetto Heaven @ Zouk with Joe Flizzow; Muzik.FM @ KL Tower with Ruffedge; Showz Off roofop party @ City Plaza JB; Misi Suara Hati with Ruffedge; Planet Hollywood with Dayang Nurfaizah; Zoom In with Dayang Nurfaizah on RTM.
2006: 3rd place on Astro’s Blast Off 3!; one featured one song “I Need A Break (Part 2)” on Dayang Sayang Kamu repackaged album; and featured on “The Game Is Over” on Point Blanc‘s Straight To The Point album.
Check out his first single “Leng Lui”, which reached #1 on the MET 10 Chart on Hitz.FM
His second single, Dem Girls ft. Damian V.R., did the same >
VJ Spacebar aka Irman
Irman’s creative output has been embraced by many in the local creative community and I’ve heard many things about him, before having the fortune of working with him last year.
If you didn’t know, Irman played a big part in the art direction of Tongue in Chic (before he got nicked by an ad agency)
He also has a pet project called Shoot Bang Bang.
Gaining momentum as a VJ and visual artist, his bold vector-based style has been seen in many events and parties in the Klang Valley for clients such as Puma, Hennessy, Pall Mall and many more.
Can’t wait to see what he has in store for us to go alongside Starz Angels and Caprice’s sounds!
Not to mention with the presence of copious amounts of Hennessy VSOP, a blend of taste that can be enjoyed with water, soda, ginger ale, apple juice, or just by itself on the rocks.
DreamerCyn cooked TigerJoe and i dinner yesterday for my birthday
And her doggies have such a 5-cent-face you just want to pick them up and feed them all the time
They’re both different doggies by the way
We watched Marley and Me on DVD after that
And i think tears streamed down my face for 5 minutes non-stop okay >.<
I HATE watching movies with Joe and Cyn cos they’re the kind who cannot shut up about movie details!
Happened in the cinema before
And happened again last night
Joe: I heard that in the end, *bla bla bla*
Cyn: No la, i read the book, and actually *bla bla bla*
Me: Guys please, can you NOT say what’s gonna happen?! Both of them: *continues*
Me: GUYS COME ONNNN!!!!
Dinner was superfab and yummy!
Home-made pesto chicken with salad, and mushroom soup!
DreamerCyn didn’t cheat at all! Even with the mushroom soup
Earlier yesterady, TigerJoe lured me to teman him buy a modem at Low Yat by taking me for some awesome beef ball noodles at Petaling Street
Since we were going to Low Yat (zZzzz), i said we could pop over to Sungai Wang for a while
He spotted the envirosax shopping bag rolled up in my handbag
“Why did you bring your shopping bag? -_-“ “Cos urm, you know, in case i buy something… or for you to carry the modem you get,” i quickly insert, glad that his environmental-friendliness would get the better of him. “Right…”
Hmm don’t think he believed me.
I did shop, but not that much, just bought 2 things – a pair of mercury-tinted Ray-Bans on 40% sale, and some crazy scarf (cos i like, so totally need another one *cough*)
+ + + + +
Hmm interesting, i wanted to link the Envirosax bag cos i bought them from Tiny Tapir and found that all references of them are taken down left with this message:
“Tiny Tapir began distributing Envirosax in September 2007.
Suddenly, out of the blue in March 2009, we get a call from a Malaysian party who very rudely told us to “take down any reference to your being distributor for Envirosax as we are the new Malaysian distributor”.
You can imagine our shock! After all the energy that Tiny Tapir put into marketing the Envirosax and making the Envirosax brand known here in Malaysia – before we did so, no one here had heard of Envirosax. Because of Tiny Tapir, Envirosax was featured in the Star newspaper 3 times last year, appeared on NTV7 and was even photographed with our First Lady.
And why did Mark (one of the Envirosax co-founders) go behind our back and sneakily sign with another Malaysian party (who we will not say are innocent, seeing as he clearly admitted he only started talking to Mark middle of last year after we’d been distributing the Envirosax for some time) for the Malaysian distributorship?
It’s a mystery unknown to us – but we can only suspect that he did not like that we sell other brands of reusable bags. Instead of discussing this with us of course, he pettily decides to just bypass Tiny Tapir completely.
Well, Mark. Wake up and sell the roses – we don’t live in a world where Monopolists are viewed favorably, and I for one am not going to support a company whose owner has no clue what ethics, morality or common decency are about – it’s completely contrary to living by Eco-friendly, green standards where sharing ideas and methods (and not just chasing the almightly dollar) is the only way to create a better world.
Envirosax is obviously merely concerned about chasing profits and not about the ideals we at Tiny Tapir wish to support – fair trade, sustainable and responsible living.”
Drama.

Last Friday i rushed to the Gardens Fashion Show
And had some much-needed food and wine at the after-party at Alexis
April 18, 2009Comments Off on Something a bit off yesterdayLa la la Like
You know one of those days where everything seems to fuck up a bit more than usual?
And all those little fuck ups make you want to tear your hair out and scream?
Yesterday was one of those days for me -_-
Long story short, i accidentally got myself locked in the house
I left the house keys in the car, and i had the car keys…
But how was i to get to the car if i didn’t have the house keys to open the door
*slaps forehead ala homer simpson moment*
When i finally got out, it was damn jam thanks to prayer time and school being let out
Jam jam jam
And people were driving like CRAP yesterday
People running red lights, signaling the WRONG side when switching lanes, wtf!!!
When i reached office, i had to park damn far from the lift
Walked to lift
When i reached the lift, i realised i forgot my food in the car -_-
And had to walk back to get it
In the lift, about four ppl came in after me and pressed 4 other floors before mine
Kinda unexpected seeing my office is only on the 6th floor
-_-
BY THE TIME i reached office, i had TEN minutes to edit some things quickly before running out for an event which i had to attend
-_-
By the time i reached back, my food was cold and i only ate one third cos i was so busy
-_-
Went for the Gardens’ Fashion Show
And i actually had fun phew
Left at the after party at 11:30 pm
Went home
Supposed to watch DVD with TigerJoe
But passed out by 1am cos i was too knackered
