Dahlah car out of commission. Then one phone. Then second phone. Then i got sick.
And THEN i almost didn’t get to go to Perhentian cos we couldn’t book any rooms beforehand and heard they’re all full!!! I was thinking, “Shit… this sucks…” At this point i was standing in the hot sun on the way back from the doctor’s, unsuccessfully trying to hail a cab All of us were frantically calling each other trying to find a jalan to avoid cancellation of trip And all the while, i was trying not to use the phone (i borrowed) cos Fran forgot to pass me the charger
0_o’
Looking listlessly at the empty road, i waited for a flash of red and white to come, while thinking
You know what. I bet after we cancel this trip, and i tell people about it, people will be coming up to me going “Oh, why didn’t you tell me!? My uncle/brother/sister/hamster works as the manager in Bubu!” or “Oh, you should have asked me! I own a villa there!” Sure one. Sure oneeeee….
Then my holidate canceled on me with the words, “No, i’ve been there during peak season and done the whole back and forth thing between islands. I really don’t want to do it again… not with the risk that the guy i called said it’s all fully booked.”
Even when i thought, “That’s it la. No beach,” i was still very optimistic and la la la Someone called back We got rooms!
PHEW
“You know why, most of the people on the island are malay okay… so ——- has some friends working there and they just booked the rooms for us. I’d think for you guys, you’re not malay so a bit hard.”
Well said.
Trip is back on track! YAY!!!
I Don’t Want To
Keep on going back to the stockists everytime someone wants one belt wei… I’m going back there next week to pick up somemore To keep it succinct, one is RM25 They’re adjustable (see all the buttons)
There are – Black – Dark Blue – Lipstick Red – Light Gold (this isn’t so nice, i don’t recommend you buy it, it’s hard to match)
The red is in one of the pictures in the posts below. Email me – joycethefairy@gmail.com
With a brilliant idea!! Wasn’t even really pondering on the subject (it’s a secret), it just came.
Ah… *sighs happily*
I swear the best ideas come involuntarily in the meek of the night sometimes.
Met up with high school friends last night I see them on an average of… once every four months :p Came home. Wrote. Researched. Edited pictures till i seriously don’t want to look at them anymore.
This happened earlier and I think this is going to be an ongoing affair for the next few months “Hello?” “Hey Joyce.” “Erm… who’s this.” “Karl la! I can’t believe you don’t have my number!!!” “I DO la. Just that both my phones just died on me so i don’t have any numbers stored on this phone i borrowed.” “… good excuse.” “I’m SERIOUS.” “Uh huh…” “Eh fuck you la -_- “ “Hee hee.”
On another note, it will really really suck if i end up being sick the whole time in Perhentian -_-
We were having our WIP And lost the plot (as usual) in the middle, discussing where we were to go for our ‘team building’ I love how companies call these getaways team building whereas in actuality, its an excuse for us to run off to a nice island and party (and of course build bonds with our esteemed colleagues *cough*) all at the company’s expense
“We shouldn’t go to Koh Samui,” said Mr. Team Leader “Why not?!” someone who wanted to go asked. “Because,” he continued, “If we go, those two *points at Arianna and Fran* will run off shopping, those two *points at Delia and Alison* will run off somewhere else shopping, and those two *points at Tini and i* will be at the bar.”
Everyone laughed.
Tini and i:
This Dress Thing
is really for the love from one shopaholic to another man
After liasing with people interested in them, sending more pics of the dress, making sure the payments are in, sorting out what gets sent where, wondering what to wrap them in, going out to buy plastic sheets and stationary (cos *some* presentation is required right?!), making little tags to go with them, tying the whole bundle up in ribbon, and sending it all off by post…
My (measly) profits is so not happening.
I spend hours and days doing this and getting the same returns as one photoshoot. Actually. Less then one photoshoot.
Whatmore i damn semangat wrap everything up nicely. Anally making sure the scotch tape lined the edges of the plastic perfectly. After wrapping three dresses, i thought, “You know what… this is taking TOO awfully long and i bet the girls aren’t going to notice whether my beautiful scotch tape is perfectly aligned ANYWAY!!!”
So i fucked it and started taping like a normal human being.
We’re going to Perhentian!!! Just so happened my colleagues brought it up one Wednesday and decided an hour later we’d all go together! I didn’t have a date (everyone was bringing one) so i pondered on who to ask
Had to be someone i always have fun with, but can also be quiet and not always have to talk to And is good company and i can just be ME without trying jack
So i called the perfect candidate Who insisted that we take a flight instead of a bus. I was all la la la with taking the bus with the others cos i’m not fussy
“Let’s take a flight instead.” “No, come on, let’s just take the bus, the others are!” “Come on… the bus takes 12 hours!” “Oh really? But it only costs RM32!” “Let’s fly…” he pressed
It’s strange how i’d spend a few hundred dollars on a pair of shoes in 10 seconds but not when it comes to traveling… I always think that you go through it, and you might suffer a bit, but after that, you’re done, at your destination and forget about it cos you’re already so happy clappy to be there Whereas for things you *keep*, you… *puts on Powerpuff Bubbles voice*… hold them, and wear them, and use them, and love them forever and ever and ever!
I replied that i’s already going to be traveling to Bangkok, Kuching and Bandung and ought to save a bit
“I bet he’s going to offer to pay for your ticket, if he wants to fly so badly,” said Tini
He did. Then the others wanted to fly too -_- So now we’re all flying.
The Phone Gods HATE ME!
Remember how i mentioned my O2 passed away two nights ago? This morning my Dopod decided to visit its buddy in heaven. (It’ll switch on but it won’t cooperate with my SIM cards. I think it’s in a coma.) I guess leaving them in my handbag next to each other all the time created some really strong bonds.
From having two phones to none at all made me feel so strangled. Luckily i only had a long-ass meeting all day (which was bad as well cos i’m getting sick) so i didn’t have to worry about calls
BOTH my SIM cards won’t work with my Dopod, but Tini’s is able to
WHY?!
Can someone please tell me why. I’ve tried it a few times and “Invalid or missing SIM card” pops up. But when i chuck either of them into the Sony Ericsson (Fran lent me hers for emergency), they WORK. So the SIM cards are FINE.
“Something’s up with my feng shui! I’m carless and phoneless!” i lamented to Big Boss “Hey, it’s not feng shui, it’s phone shui! Ha ha ha!” he laughed boomingly at his own wit and strutted off
So. Not. Helpful.
The Dopod doesn’t fancy either of my SIM cards anymore. But is okay with Tini’s.
Stress la. Dahlah i have so much frikking work to do, but i have to run unnecessary errands somemore. Send my O2 to be saved tomorrow. Send my Dopod to 555. Send car to Cycle & Carriage. Send photo CD to Bangsar. Go to work. Send off dresses in post office.
So now my normal number is back up, but i don’t have ANYBODY’S contact number. The only numbers i can remember by heart belongs to Daddy, PassedOutBen, MaryBerry, LaughingLoga, Smellie and Aaron.
*keels over*
And i have to get my act together before i fly off on Friday morning.
More pics up later When i’m not so crazy knackered

Went a-sailing on Sunday Well, *i* didn’t do much

Juice/Izzi Thingamajig
I had a fantabulous time last night Went for the Juice event at Izzi
InYourFaceTini wanted to wear her jewel green Guess by Marciano “Do you think i’ll be overdressed?” “It’s always better to be overdressed then under-dressed.”
I threw on a bubble dress with reddish patterns But i just wasn’t *feeling* it which is a rare phenomenon after i’ve already put something on
I felt like black last night So i changed in a hurry
The girls took a pic of me in… the bathroom of all places -_-
I’s so happy to introduce my college mate, holiday buddies, drinking kakis, gay diva and colleague all to each other And they all got along marvelously too *beams in delight*
