Yup. That’s me. StephTheVolcano asked me whether i have a compulsion to play with and pull out my hair. I used to do it really badly when i’m stressed out. Just sit at the pc staring at the screen playing with my hair till my arms were tired out.
It’s horrible and addictive and such a nasty-looking habit cos people might think you’re picking at fleas or dandruff instead And at times when i consistently pull from the same spot (probably more sun-damaged as well), i’d end up with a bald patch. Sometimes as big as a 5 cent coin. Then i’d change my hair parting so you wouldn’t be able to tell.
I started doing it again.
0_o
Caught myself playing with my hair, strand by strand, trying my utter best to look for the worst one Then i’d pull it out
I need more sleep man.
I checked my stats and i just realised i’ve passed the 1 million mark So i’ve had a bit more then 1,050,000 readers in the past year 0_o
When i finally have the time to simply google and see what has my nickname on… I find out that someone is using it on a sex chat site -_-
Burgers At Hilton
I adore the burgers at HappyPlaceHilton The other night, i dreamt that i wanted to order room service And no matter how much i flipped, i just couldn’t find the page with the burgers on it in the menu! Flip, flip, flip. No burger page. No way… Flip, flip, flip. Flip, flip, flip. No fucking way. Flip, flip, flip.
My whole dream was spent flipping menu pages in panic -_- So stress dot com.
A hop, a skip and a jump and its here again – The Cleo 50 Most Eligible Bachelors 2007 I didn’t even know the list was out till KinkyPugKevin (figures :p) told me someone i know is in it
I mean, it’s KL. I bet everyone will know at least one person who’s in it. And i LOVE that i get to take the mickey out of friends who’re on the list every year!
I went to check out the list and my, my, besides spotting a few here and there Two people that i see on a regular basis never mentioned that they were going to be on the list You dogs, you.
Actually i don’t like this picture of you You’ve got better angles >_< But you’ve got the mommy’s boy look which some girls like
For spot #49 is Tyler Ng! aka TylerTheFairysitter
Okay la, one thing i have to give credit is that when i first met these two buggers I actually *did* think they were very bachelor-like, so kudos to Cleo for choosing at least two decent guys Plus they’re super nice to me
SO NOW!
It’s my turn to be nice(r) to you! I’ll cheer you guys on! I’ll bring pom poms! I’ll make placards with your pictures blown up on it!
Weeee!!!
Ohhh…. can’t you tell how much fun this is going to be! This is great. I’m getting all excited about seeing you two tomorrow already! The jokes i can crack! I could take tons of pictures! And SELL them to your groupies! Or even other details! Like your phone numbers, addresses, license plate numbers!
Better yet, we could hold a contest between you two! The Who’s Nicer To Joyce Contest Then whomever is NICEST to me and wins will get all my fairy-lovin support!
Don’t worry, if you’re worried about in what way you can be nice to me, i can email you a long list tomorrow My room needs tidying, my dog needs to be taken to the groomer’s, yada yada yada, it’s endless!
She Ate It
So there was that magic cake That everyone talked about, but not everyone had tried Each time it was placed it front of her, she’d end up pushing it away at the very last moment Too afraid to try
It looked good on the outside But what was it really like on the inside? Would it taste as tantalizing as it looked? Would she regret it? Would she become greedy, want more and conform to a different being?
Once again, the magic cake danced temptingly in front of her
She cocked her head to one side and stared at it It looked bloody good And it probably wouldn’t return again
The timing was perfect in all aspects Do it. Do it. Do it. The voice in her head pushed. And her choice was sealed with two words – “Why not?”
Disclaimer: I’m not talking about drugs la oi AdamPoserPan smsed me, “What’s the magic cake? Did you take drugs?!” -_-

Picture above stolen off Wondermilk Look! I was reading random past posts and bumped into this one all about Cupcake Madness I wrote how i wanted Cuppacakes for my next birthday (which i forgot i said ha ha) But i DID get them!
This is a public thank you to Jiji from Wondermilk She told puggy that frosted fairies were too complicated But it’s okay! Everyone loved them anyway! There weren’t enough for one each, so i ran around with the box tucked under one arm (so ppl wouldn’t steal them) and gave them out in a rather bias manner hee hee
Supposed to run out for a meeting with FoxyLisa soon I’m to emcee her wedding this Sunday so she wants to run through the itinerary with us (another girl to do the chinese part since i can’t speak it to save my life)
Looks like it’s gonna rain…
But no matter! Cos i bought a lovely stripey umbrella that’s super colourful from M&S for all the rain that’s been hitting us lately
Went for dinner with Daddy last night I finally have more cupboard space to put all my clothes
Daddy: I don’t think you can fit all your clothes in! Me: I can la… Daddy: Yeah, just throw them in right -_- Me: Noooo, of course i’ll sort it out properly! Daddy: You have three times more cupboard space then Nic, and he can fit all his clothes in nicely Me: What?! Of course la! He doesn’t buy any clothes! He doesn’t wear anything! Daddy: What do you mean he doesn’t wear clothes. So he runs around naked is it. -_-
I feel more gungho to take on work after coming back from Langkawi
StephTheVolcano and i basking like cats on our last day there Majority of the rest were still passed out Even tho it was called OpsTerLang, i didn’t terbabas, surprisingly Below is Sammy next to us. He was reading Scar Tissue (Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ biography) and i eyed it in interest. When he went jet-skiing, i picked up the book lying on the beach towel, settled myself comfortably under the shade of a coconut tree, and opened it to find…
… that it was all in German.
I almost missed my flight. >_< So standard of me i swear.
First, i overslept, woke up in a panicked flurry telling my brother, “OHMYGOD, okay get ready! We’re leaving for the airport in 15 minutes!” Threw everything into my bag like a mad woman, rushed outside, and jumped into the car.
Second, he took the wrong turning. 0_o We ended up in Klang 0_o “Ohmygod… you’re killing me i swear… i thought you knew the way! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Surprisingly i didn’t get mad at him. It was an honest mistake and i had this thought that if i missed my flight, then it was meant to be and that some force didn’t want me to go :p
So there we were, frantically calling my Dad to ask for directions, which is a bit tough cos we don’t know* Klang area, how to turn and where and what?!?!!?
SO kancheong, almost had a heart attack.
Then, it started to rain, so we couldn’t speed -_- So fuckalingam okay. I was whining in agony about the flight while my brother looked like this > Obviously he didn’t care la cos not like he was going on it kan!!
I didn’t think we could make it. My flight was to leave at 8:05pm And we were still in the vicinity of Klang at 7 pm I’m supposed to check in an hour before the flight I don’t know why we didn’t just give up but i couldn’t!
I reached over to adjust something in the car. And. My dress strap broke. -_-
“AUghhh!!! Damn drama! Late la! Wrong turning la! Rain la! And now my dress strap broke!!!!”i bawled
My brother grinned at me.
“Maybe it’s a SIGN. That i *shouldn’t* go to Langkawi. That something BAD might happen…” i babbled in the midst of my panic
We finally reached and i ran to the counter It was 7:40pm My flight was at 8:05pm I told the supervisor that i didn’t want to check anything in, cos i had a small bag and that was IT. He made a call, put the phone down and said, “You’re very lucky,” and checked me in!
Actually, he said i was very lucky cos the flight got lagi delayed till 8:35pm 0_-
But i can’t complain cos if they didn’t delay it, i wouldn’t have made it there on the first night
I arrived all tired to find everyone crazy tipsy partying already There were 25 of us altogether, i don’t think i got shots of everyone even I’m just gonna put up a few happy ones
Besides the partying, we had so much fun on the first day! We blew bubbles. We played make-believe in the water. Rudy and Cammy bought these awesome water toys! – swords, two floating beds, one giant ball, a crocodile, a killer whale and a water torpedo! The guys flew kites. The girls played frisbee (unsuccessfully cos of the strong wind). We wore party hats to the pool and were such a colourful happy sight then people staying there took pictures of us.
None of us were very helpful with blowing up the awesome toys tho. It was really difficult and in the end, StephTheVolcano blew most of them single-handedly.
We lepaked at the balcony while she continued blowing the toys.
“Wow. Your woman can reallllly blow man,” i winked at BracesBrian “Your woman has a lot of hot air,” said RowdyRudy
“What?! Are you all talking about me?!” Steph’d yell from inside
This is *such* a porn star picture of SpankyCammy. I LOVE IT!
Dhanya + peanuts + Banana liquer
There was this cool floating jetty made of blue plastic. Kinda reminded me of lego. The sea would run underneath it, making it wave too! We hopped and jumped to the end. Tired out, we sat there till it started to rain.
I branded the girls’ lighters
Check out Rahul’s cool shirt!
Ok lazy to put up other pictures for now Maybe later when i finish up all my work Which is never
Exactly a year ago, i didn’t blog my birthday pictures and i had piles of clothes everywhere in my room That hasn’t changed. Also, i was then living with a boyfriend, TL was single, i didn’t have a driver’s license, and i didn’t know my counter stats properly. All that has changed. *click*
Two years ago, MaryBerry was MafiaMary Fairy forced to change branding :p *click*
Three years ago, i got worked up over Friendster testimonials -_- I guess i did grow up somewhat. I don’t emo over insignificant things anymore. I got my third and last tattoo, half a pressie from RudyLaFaber And we had Pie Day! We should have another! *click*
Panic
“You’d better watch the way you work and party,” lectured one of the banker boys. “What do you mean? I’m okay wut.” “If you’re not careful, you’re going to look haggard before your time. Like ——–“ ” 0_o “
I understand how it can happen. That i’ll get so carried away with lack of sleep and continuous work and endless partying. Thinking that i’ll be young forever. I’m in denial. That i can look soddof like a kid forever.
Then QueenKanch’s words pop into mind – “Prevention is better then cure.”
Of course, she’s referring to lines and wrinkles whereas i’m putting it into overall perspective – internal and health risks (my liver might be half gone by now, hence liver supplements. I’m taking them!)
I never guessed i would miss driving Even though it was only short of a week. Took a taxi to C&C, drove my car back all mighty zippy and happy i would say!
I toyed with the idea of taking my laptop with me to Langkawi… cos i have quite a number of articles to wrap up by the time work resumes on Thursday >_< But the idea is ridiculous la I really doubt i’ll be in the right frame of mind and mood to write And it’ll only be three days… you can go three days without doing any work Joyce *tells self off* Even on all my ‘so-called’ off days, i still manage in a shoot, or write, or edit pictures till my eyes go damn pei from staring to discern whether it might be a tad too yellow/blue/red
I know i can’t without writing crap at the very least so I’ll be sure to bring along my Moleskine and pen. Then i’ll come back and finish up EVERYTHING by Thurs (god i hope so)
Leaving for the airport in two hours I haven’t packed yet (as usual) Don’t see how it’d take long – just bikinis, dresses and sunblock.
Edit: Oh great I just found out through an sms my flight (AK6300) to Langkawi has been delayed Leaving at 8:05pm instead
The occurrence of me going away this weekend is tempting me to take off again next weekend, but in a way i never have before I hope i have the time, then i’ll do my disappearing act Liberty thirst beckons
Will chuck all these up without much editing before i NEVER end up doing it Good Charlotte concert a week ago @ Bukit Jalil
Sharm couldn’t find someone to teman her last minute, so i asked ButtercupSharon whether she could give her the last VIP tix What’s the point of letting it go to waste if noone was taking it up anyway? ButtercupShar wanted to sell it off, but none of us brought it to the next level so i thought, better we just give it to someone who really wants it
I did the same with the Earth Wind & Fire tix as well Not knowing that each was worth RM250, i casually chucked the 6 tickets i got free onto my desk And when i *did* find out how much they were worth, i reckoned that since i got them free anyway, i didn’t feel right selling it off to people “You’re so not chinese,” lectured MadcapperMelissa, when i didn’t mind giving them away to those who really wanted to go
My reasoning is that whatever good (or bad) that you give to people, it will return to you Perhaps not through that exact person, but maybe through a different time, a different place and through a different way
Anyway I went with ButtercupSharon and Sharm I knew i was overdressed for a concert, but my reasoning was that i’s going out straight after that, smellie and all As i bounded into the car, i meant to immediately blurt, “Okay, i’m overdressed BECAUSE i’m going out after this!” Sharm beat me to the punch going, “I’m not dressed so hip like you, sorry.”
-_-”’
She’s so anal, which i observed in amusement Amongst small things was me winding up my side of the car window “No, don’t close the window, let me do it.” “Okay.”
I didn’t dare to pour alcohol in the car lest she chucked me out on the highway
ButtercupSharon, moi, Sharm
My red hair is really something… people don’t ask me whether i’m Joyce anymore if they want to take a picture… I think it’s the first event where noone asked whether its me, and just asked pictures >_<
Still figuring out whether this is good or bad Cos i have to be on (as) best behaviour (as possible :p)
I didn’t feel so overdressed anymore seeing SmallSerena ‘cos she was wearing boots
Good Charlotte came on really late… While Estranged was on, I needed to go to the bathroom really badly so off i pottered, before saying to Buttercup, “If the song i’m waiting for comes on while i’m peeing, i’ll be so pissed off!!!”
The song i was waiting for (Itu Kamu) came on while i was peeing
-_-
I was like, “Shit shit shit!” and peed as fast as i could before running out of the bathroom helter skelter
FaiTheMai greeted me at the same spot with open arms and we layaned it like mad Someone wanted to take a picture with me, but i was like, “Erm… can i layan the song first? After this song ‘kay!” Before promptly turning around to continue jumping and singing with Fai
JollyMooky looks awfully disheveled That’s the rocker way yo!
Only EverReadyPosers know how to keep still when taken paparazzi shots of from afar
StephTheVolcano, BracesBrian, ButtercupShar, me
On Wednesday night, Lam kept on reiterating how we had to dress in all white “Eh… wear black bottom can or not… I have a white dress but its damn short and slutty la.” “… CONFIRM. Must wear all white!!!” “-_-“
Fran, Arriana, InYourFaceTini, NiceInnocentMe
Oh, an episode from last week
We were having this seriously boring IT training, and i was trying my best not to pass out on the table. You’d think that you’d never have to sit in a ‘classroom’ again after college… but no. They’re all lies.
InYourFaceTini (cos she’ll say it to your face.) was whispering, “I don’t know whyyyy we have to take this… it’s almost the same as the last one.”
‘Bout half an hour later she noticed the blue light blinking on my phone. “Why is your bluetooth on?” she queried
I stared at the blinky blue light.
“Is that what it is? Oh.” ” -_- Then?? What did you think it was?!?” “I don’t know… that urm, something’s up with the phone… or something… >_< “ “-_-‘ Now i know why we have to take this training. Cos of you!”
I know you still lup me!
Tyler, me, Tini
Tyler’s my personal saviour in the office He drives me to Cycle & Carriage cos i don’t know where the heck it is in Sunway (or was it Subang? See.) Then drives me to work And now i’m carless, he drives me to work everyday He walks out of Velvet when my PDA program decides to PMS on me and slowly guides me on the phone on getting it fixed (in the end, it was Maxis’ fault. Ptui.)
I should call him TylerTheBabysitter Or TylerTheFairysitter
See how la, ponder a bit first
Joshua, moi, Aileen, Sueet
Oh. We all had to have this god-ugly flowers and things painted on our faces and a shot of alco upon arrival at the party. Or no entering. The only thing i didn’t protest to was the shot. BrianBersopanSantun was the best. He had a splotch on his forehead. No flower. No star. No heart. A splotch. A splat. Call it what you will, but it looked like he tripped and fell forehead-first into green paint.
me, Lam, BlackChickJessie, InYourFaceTini, Victor
Hmm Lam looks happy.
Mambo was in ZoukMainroom after that
I like this picture of Mel – all smiley and happy – as i always see her
Did a few shoots this week and one of the shorter ones was of Sazzy Falak choosing her dress for AIM
Definitely not using this picture for the paper, i’s just playing with softer flash I just like how the flow of her hair and the dress are almost symmetrical
Little boy peeping at me whilst his mum is in the changing room.
Only RM400
What is? Okay. Helping put off golden retriever puppies, pure bred mind you!, to happy owners There are four altogether. I knew of this today, one got snapped up already, maybe more from other sources if i don’t know yet. If you want them or more details, email me right away (at the bottom of this post where it says ’email it’)
Also, to screen out the best owners for them, i need to know things like how much you are willing to spend monthly to take care of them According to QueenKanch (who used to breed dogs), golden retrievers cost more to maintain cos they’re bigger Plus they’re hunting dogs so they need a relatively big compound and lots of exercise to keep them happy
Okay? Okay cool. ๐
I Feel Like Stressed Eric
You know Stressed Eric? That British cartoon where at the end of every episode, his forehead vein pops out and strangles him because he’s so stressed out
I’ve been so rushed today that my vein started popping out by evening By midnight, my fingertip traced it out to be a crooked ‘U’
Simple photoshoot started off the day, followed by lunch and interview, taking someone sightseeing… Tho i’m a horrible tourguide. Nightlife guide, can. Day tour guide, no. I.e. Nicolas: What is that building there? *points at white building next to Central Market that i’ve never bothered noticing in my life* Me: Urm… *stares*… ah… i think…. urm… okay you know what. I honestly don’t know. Prollie some government building..? >_< Nicolas: It’s okay, just asking.
-_- I suck.
Meeting with someone bout some stuff, i wasn’t too contented with the outcome, more work to be done Art exhibition at Wei Ling Gallery with Cho Korean dinner. Drinks.
All equals… pooped.
I have all these empty boxes drawn into my notebook to represent all the work i have to do And everytime i complete one, i colour it in with a puff of pride I have 22 boxes 4 are coloured FOUR …
Company party last night was fun. We all had to wear white at SevenAteNine, hence blending in with the furniture. By the time i reached Zouk i was completely sober. And funnily enough, i was so hyper that i danced and danced insanely anyway. Talked to people and remembered everything, observed other drunk people, took care of drunk friends.
What was not funny was that WHEN I’M SOBER, i had to trip on two stupid steps and fall down
-_-
And thanks to my bloody red hair (damn pun), someone had to tell a friend that, “I saw your red-headed friend fall down.”
-_-
The irony, That when sober i’m damn clumsy. Oh, and gatal.
I told ChoWei my gatal story. He laughed at me till i was afraid he couldn’t see the road while driving cos his eyes were slit so tight. “You might as well always drink then you won’t say things like that,” he said “Yeah. But *censored*..”
Haih, i have to censor it la Cos it’s a bit TMI (i learnt this abbreviation from someone okay :p )
Okay just shut up and sleep Getting brain damage already
‘cos she was wearing boots
