I decided to take Shane and Carmen home from the office after there was a Tortoise Emergency end of last week.
Jolene told us one was missing and we (April, Sarah, Clouds and me) RUSHED outside to look for it.
AprilPikachu spotted it amongst the rocks.
“Is it… dead? Maybe it died in its shell,” ClaudiaOnCrack said, peering closely. “Clouds! Some optimism please!” i breathed exasperatedly.
I didn’t want no dead tortoise on my hands.
Weekend i didn’t get to take them home cos i passed out and didn’t get the office key off Adlin.
Today i spotted them trying out some circus escape stunt and ran to grab my camera.
What the… 0_o
So i took them home today and asked my mother, “Hey, can i keep my tortoises in your tank?” “What tank. I don’t have a tank.”
“Your tank with the plants?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t have a tank.”
“Your… pot then. The big pot outside with the plants in,” i rephrased. “…”
“Where you used to keep tortoises?” “I don’t keep tortoises there anymore.”
“Well, yes, can i keep my tortoises there..?”
I swear this is how most of our conversations go -_-
“I don’t want you keeping tortoises in the house.” “Why?”
“Someone told me it’s not good.” End of story.
Er… okay… “So you’re not keeping tortoises cos of superstition?”
Silence.
Confirmed end of story.
Hey. I’m all for superstition.
I just never heard of that one before.
Shall google it up.
Spent all Sat afternoon in Bangsar checking out what’s new with AshleyTheMonkey and QueenKanch, and shopping like a possessed woman (after abstaining for a month *cough* junkyard sales don’t count *cough*)
Took a pic of myself with these really cool round glasses (RM50) in sevendays that made me look like a cartoon.
Didn’t get them in the end cos they don’t suit my face, makes me look as if i have a wide space in between my eyes.
Went to Show Pink but Ethan wasn’t there.
Got a dress from Wendy (below) who’s just started selling clothes there last week.
Bumped into Fei and had a quick chat with him.
Hairstylists don’t leave the salon without hairclips.
Meaning, they don’t take breaks withouth hairclips either.
I left Bangsar after 3 hours with a jacket, 7 dresses and 6 tops.
Damn puas man.
This is like, reward therapy for me
*************
Going to Zedeck’s place in a while, as i haven’t hung out with him for… almost a year >.<
Got this msg from him on FB:
“yo akak: i forgot to tell you: party theme is, by consensus, “taste of innocence”, or (my addition) “when i got my first period”. we goin to munch on rabbit sweets and haw flakes and nano-nano. dress appropriately.”
… what is that supposed to mean?
wear white?
wear white dress with splotches of red paint?
wear school uniform?
wear very covered up?
Damn these starving artist people (he refers to himself as that btw)…
i have NO IDEA what kind of theme that is.
Sorry you guys whom i said i’d be at Heineken Impulse tonight.
I finally couldn’t take it especially after only 2 hours sleep, and being on the go since 7:15 am.
Spent an hour plus in the freaking Friday evening jam from Jalan BB to Jaya One for a wip meeting.
Had two beers during meeting.
And was falling asleep driving another freaking hour and a half back into KL cos i wanted to drop by the office.
That was damn dangerous.
So i called RR who’s supposed to go to the event with me, “Hey, i’m damn out, i need you to drive tonight.”
And i never, ever ask him to drive on any night prior to going out.
So i headed to his house to park my car and got Tianna to open the door.
You know you’re good friends with someone when you can crash into their house even when they’re not in.
He got back a few minutes later and asked me to wait for fifteen minutes.
I said okay.
I don’t know what happened, next thing i woke up and saw two things –
1. It was past midnight
2. Rudy going, “Oh. Finally.”
I don’t remember this but he said what happened was:
RR: Do you want to go now?”
Me: Yeah… I’d better get up… before… i ZzzZZZzzzzz*”
RR: … Joyce?…. Joyce?………….
Joleyn and i were terrified that it would be too crowded.
We invited 350 people thinking not everyone will rsvp, and 340 ppl did.
0_o
The worst thing we’d want for our launch is the venue being too crowded and cramp, cos that just won’t be cool!
So we stopped letting guests bring friends (sorry!) and hoped there’d be a dropout rate of 20% to make space.
Behind-the-scenes post after i blog about it on TiC.
Here’s one picture first, taken at the Tongue in Chic photo wall.
We had an area where Shawn Cutler (Fei and gang) were designated to do up hair for guests, scarves (courtesy of moi), feather boas and all sorts of hats (courtesy of Daniel Henry) were put out for people to throw on and take camwhoring pictures.
It was super fun and the colourful boas really did it!
Everytime i came out of that area to continue socialising, i’d have different scarves and hats thrown onto me.
One picture before i post the rest this weekend.
In the picture below i have a kinky policeman’s hat and leopard scarf tied around my neck.
I know it doesn’t match, it was for fun!
Shane and Carmen the terrapins have proved entertaining.
They haven’t been eating much though, which is worrying me.
Me: Why are they so still… *stares at them in office during afternoon* Wan: Maybe they’re sleeping. *layans annoying colleague who places pets on his table cos hers is too messy*
Me: But they were sleeping all day yesterday! *continues staring at terrapins*
I hear a scoff from the side and see DidiBuli shaking her head in exasperation.

RowdyRudy: You’re right, i’ve been staring at them and they’re not eating.
Me: Maybe they’re anorexic. RowdyRudy: What else do you think? They came from a fashion party.
Me: -_-
*** LV Event @ Starhill
CherubicCho asked me teman him to the LV event tonight with him.
Not like i can buy anything there.
The only LV bag i have is that super kuchi rat small one.
Which i don’t even use that much cos… i don’t know, the classic monogram doesn’t suit me and seems so poser.
I feel like painting on it *hears gasps*
But i *did* see something that made me pounce on it and coo.
From the monogram vernis collection:
RM3,200.
“It’s nice!” “It’s also 3k. That’s like, my expenditure for a month okay.”
If i buy that, then i can’t eat, pay for petrol, go for massages, drink, or go out at ALL for a month.
And what WOULD I DO WITHOUT my wine and Guinness after work?!
Shock. Horror. Alcohol starvation.
Cannot.
Anyway, they had a casino theme going on.
Right down Cho’s alley, the poker fanatic he is.
They gave us LV money, with which we exchanged for LV chips to use to gamble.
When we wanted to (intentionally) lose our chips so we could go eat, Cho kept on winning.

Read While Waiting Project
Zain HD asked me to be videoed for his Read While Waiting project, aimed at promoting well, (the title says it already!) the habit of reading while waiting.
He also invited me to go on The Breakfast Show (which WhackyDaph hosts! ) with him and Jules from Fly FM.
The thought of having to be at the tv station in Shah Alam (damn. going to get lost i swear) by 8:30 am wasn’t very appealing to me… but i caved in after 10 minutes on the phone.
And he used Vampire Weekend ha ha.
