Wednesday my car broke down, i had to emergency park in front of some stranger’s house and wait at the side of the road for my ride, feeling like a hooker in a shiny top.
Thursday i got molested by a contact in Pyramid. Thought of getting the security guards to help me out cos he was being really pushy and in the end, i pushed the bugger off, jumped into my car, locked the doors and drove off in a traumatised huff.
Friday was basically a mad rush – met up with a potential advertiser; another publication i’ll start contributing to; my colleagues for coffee; KenDD who is now also my insurance agent; GentingKevin who made me feel like its Christmas Day; then half the team and i took a colleague from Uzbekistan out to Velvet before the rest of the team took over, went to sevenatenine, left at 2 because i was so tired i didn’t even feel like eating supper.
Gorgeous weather today! Pool party in an hour yay!
Once in a while, DatinTini and i would merge our outings together This was erm (shh i forgot, lemme check my organiser first. I have this habit that i’ve kept to since 2000. I jot down where i am, who i’m out with, where we eat/drink, what time, what i’m doing. Everyday. It’s a super detailed account of What Joyce Has Been Doing With Her Life. Ahh found it. This was on…) 11th July.
We compromised that we’d go for the BMW 1 Series event first, then to Palate Palette for Lap Sap.
BMW made us fill in the answer for the question – “What is your idea of joy?” Ishwin read it and simply blared ‘Joyce’ I wrote that down.
Everyone was so corporate and pretty formal for the event I was draped in B+W stripes but somehow, my hair just doesn’t cut it for ‘let’s look serious and rich’
Staring at everyone around me, i muttered, “I feel like a young punk…” DatinTini: I feel like a fat bitch.
Victor + DatinTini
Leggy models decked top to toe in Raoul strutting it Her legs are awfully fair. Mine would look super indian next to hers.
I truly doubt i’d be able to pull off the gold leggings. Euch.
Ooh, then the men came out. I’m usually not one to drool over male models, but there was an exceptionally hunky one i fought with Tini over to take home.
*cough*
Dragged her to Lap Sap
Cute bathroom mirror.
I was so happy there! Big happy smiles! Crazy wiggle dancing! Bright kitschy clothes! DatinTini: I feel so out of place… Me: Woohoo! WEE! Isn’t this fun!
DJ Blink
Happy clappy Catcha + dunnowhat + 8tv peeps!
DatinTini called everyone Stabilos people ‘Cos they’re so colourful GarfieldChak
DatinTini + Edwin
Tini really couldn’t take it after awhile. I felt abit bad so i agreed to leave with her to Wine Room where the two boyfriends were – Dik and Dax. Even their names match. How romance (purposely la ok!) is that!
Dax
The two boyfriends.
Dax and his 2nd one.
Threesome.
Innocent angels with no boyfriends.
(I was requested to censor this but… fuck this is my blog okay. Pay moneyyyyy. Then i might take down. HAHA)
How… tender.
By the way, a note to Dik: You owe Tini RM1000 Remember? Remember why? Because you dared her to go up onstage to sing and she did!
Stranger white dude feeling ons for Tini’s voice. Or not…
Stranger white dude pulling Dik away.
We turned back to where our drinsk were to find…
PassedOutDax.
Beware passing out around us ‘cos
1. We smile and take pretty pictures with you.
2. We whisper sweet rubbish to rouse you to no avail. 3. A train starts
4. We take *more* pictures. Pouts and licks this time.
5. We bribe you with roses.
“Dax honey… wake up please…”
“Look! Look baby! Two flowers instead! Not just one! I remember you told me how two’s your lucky number! Honey…?”
“Okay. How about some tongue then?”
We got bored waiting for Dax to wake up. So DikTracy + DatinTini camwhored.
6. We take pictures of your nostrils.
7. We take closeup pictures of your nostrils.
And then we get even more bored, the lights are on, we’re the only ones left, and we don’t reckon we’re larat to carry you out.
By the way, i think i’ll have to remove this post by afternoon or whenever Dax gets alerted to this so… printscreen people!
Ripping heaps of Odin’s music now before i give everything back to him The trepidation he must be going through the past few days I’m squinting while typing the playlists down Don’t know whether to blame my shitty eyesight or his scrawlings…
I should be getting ready for the Le Prestige dinner thing So malas to go :p
Discovered that pug is still alive.
As Zuhdi and i were leaving KL yesterday – Zuhdi: So have you driven outstation before? Me: I drove to KKB yesterday… but that’s not really outstation. I guess this is my first real time! Lucky you! Zuhdi: 0_- *grips on to seat in maniacal drama*
Odin smsed me yesterday – “Hey do you happen to have my headphone as well… i think your mates might have taken them.”
Well i fetched the boys home so… i checked my car. They were there. -_-
Surprise (work) road trip.
I tried to look alive in the office pantry while saying ‘morning to those there Zuhdi popped a sentence out of nowhere.
“Hey Joyce. You’re going to Malacca with me today right?” “… 0_o… no… i am?” “Yeah, they said you and me.” “Are you sure? Today?”
Well he was right in the end, just that i couldn’t be reached in KKB yesterday (bad reception) so i just knew this morning.
I have… an hour to pack and eat lunch (and blog ) I’ll be driving *feels so adult* Oh wait. I am an adult. Or i’m supposed to be.
Took so many beautiful pictures yesterday It was a glorious, cooling drive there. Deep and i were counting our lucky stars how we were able to skip the Monday blues and chill out instead.
This is the dam at KKB. I snapped a few pictures, exclaiming how pretty it looked. Deep: Years ago, hundreds of people were protesting against this dam, and now my friends are taking pictures of it. -_-
Then i made him explain to me the dam saga.
Up one foot, up a paw too.
It was like i walked into a picture storybook. One of the orang asli and their doggie
Lots of nice pictures, but too many to put up for now. Will do them after Malacca.
Called Odin to apologise i can’t see him tonight to pass him back his case of music and headphones. “Sorry sorry!” “It’s okay, i just need it by Friday.” “Okay. I’m taking reallllll good care of them anyway and bringing them traveling!” As if they were animals. “Yesterday, we were layaning your music in an orang asli house in KKB! “ “Oh my gawD.”
Suddenly i damn semangat to put up pictures. But no editing with text like last time.
One day last week (forgot which day already) was the Smirnoff event at Sanctuary
Was super late cos we went to the Harper’s Bazaar Espana thing first Traffic jam so did not help
I bought this dress from Tribeca that’s SO me! It’s got all these colourful birds on it. Trippy kitsch.

Hemanth, Phil
They launched these new flavoured Smirnoffs which i remember seeing in duty free before Omg it’s damn nice. Evil. But nice all the same.

Last Friday night was the Uniquely Singapore thingamajig @ Velvet
Azana, FaiTheMai + moi
At first Fai didn’t want to go, though i was begging him (Azana was fine and dandy with whichever) Complain far la, have to walk la, bla bla bla Then i said the magic word – Freeflow.
His eyes went *ting!* and we were at Zouk in 15 minutes flat.
Sham organised the event. Her eyes make mine look lagi sepet… ๐ Marinna, Farah, Madcapper

I remember queuing up in G2 while i was still in college, to go through an interview to work for events And the entire group of chinese girls outside were bitching about Julie Thing is, it was all very shallow Like TylerTheFairysitter says, “One word for people who do things like this to try and bring you down – ENVY!”
Who’s got the devil horns now huh, SuAnn?
Old school mates! JasonLimTsuYang (just had to la. Remember your full name since Standard 4), Looney, YC
Mmm… we didn’t notice the dude behind us while taking the picture
See. This is why it’s good to be short like me. Cos then you won’t keep getting cut out of pictures.
Eve
I was really exhausted by 2am Wanted to run up to TAG but Kelvin said even *he* couldn’t go up cos it was damn 7 crowded so i didn’t bother. Got bored after awhile in Velvet so i went out and bumped into AnotherAdam, Odin and the rest.
Odin temaned me to the back of Zouk’s carpark cos i parked my car at the Poppy one They shut off the opening so i had to do the Charlie’s Angel thing and climb over the pointy railings.
I *think* i got the name right kua…

Yet Another Model Search
But i think this one was more atas in the sense that all the girls were freaking drop dead gorgeous Only thing was that not all of them were eloquent in speaking… so that was a pity.
It was so obvious who was going to win cos she strutted it and even winked it
Pardon the sleepy look It was held on a Sunday afternoon and i almost died getting up for it They all wore dresses sponsored by Warehouse Spotlight Winner got 20k worth in prizes. Dang. Plus she’ll be Estee Lauder’s ambassador for a year.

GarfieldChak got me this cool shirt from Threadless.Com for my birthday It’s called ‘Green Fairy’ and shows a bottle of absinthe with a fairy on all fours puking a pattern unto the ground -_- Naiceee.
This ees GarfieldChak
He made me stare at his shirt above
“Do you get it?” he quizzed I stared. Lazy la. “No i don’t… what is it?” “It’s damn cute – Nothing rhymes with orange!” “… oh! Hahaha!!!”
And an additional cute thing? The fruit saying ‘fairy’ is the smallest and is red! (cherry, duh) HAHAHA!!!
What A Sunday Should Be
Forced myself to sleep more and got up at 1pm Edited some pictures for JollyMooky who picked them up at 2 something Met up with MaryBerry, FoxyLisa and Adel at 4 Pored through Lisa’s wedding pictures, patted her 6-month-pregnant tummy, she had chocolate brownies, i had my creature-of-habit hash browns, salmon and avocado.
As usual, we waved like mad women in Delicious to get service. “The service here sucks.” “Yet you still come here so much!” said Adel “I knowww, but i haven’t been here for three weeks, ever since i found that stupid curly hair in my mushrooms.” “EWWW!” they chorused.
Went to see Deep’s twin baby nephew + niece.
It’s weird to party with a group one night, all guzzling long island tea, talking cock and misbehaving (“Drunk and Disorderly” is what Henry calls it) Then see the same people cooing, making cutesy noises and layaning babies one afternoon.
Kang: Damn easy yar. Have twins – one boy and one girl. Enough! Henry: Yeah man. After that tutup kedai! Me: -_- Tutup kedai? Wtf…
Man, i didn’t have cemerlang seats like these when *i* was a baby… Kids these days.
Deep read Mo’s shirt out loud. “I like pirates, ships and islands…*looks at baby* Righttt…”
We’re going on a road trip tomorrow! Gonna visit Antares in KKB
I’s telling Daddy about it over dinner and he said he met Antares before “Really? When?” “Long time ago. There, through my friend Rehman.” “Oh, the one who writes yeah?” “Yeah yeah, he was staying there as well. Said it’s a nice quiet place to write.”
Hmm i wonder how long i could sustain in a quiet place… :p
Anyway, WEE! Road trip on a Monday! *bounce bounce bounce*
