I’m awfully sorry if i passed on my illness to whomever i’ve been in close contact with… >_<
Mr. SmallBoss was hacking and sniffing today which made me feel a tad guilty cos i might’ve passed it to him And now i’m getting all better ho ho ho…
I almost cancelled out on the Her World/La Mer high tea thing last Sat cos i was just not feeling up to it But i thought it’d be damn jahat to ffk whatmore i said time and again i’d go So i dolefully pulled on a cotton dress, made up, and grabbed a taxi to Carcosa (didn’t feel like driving at all)
I wasn’t so doleful after having a few glasses of champagne :p
No such thing as saying “I’m sick” to these girls They’d just give you a cock stare as if alcohol isn’t the cure to cancer
So might as well just retain my energy and drink without rebelling
MadcapperMelissa ran outside to play, thinking her make up was done And the poor make up artist went after her -_-

… which Daddy wants to steal “I need it more then you. You’re too young for it.” Me:
Went home, rushed, changed and shot off to Shook
I personally think i look decent in a photograph
But i realise how CannotMakeIt i look next to Steph… Suddenly my forehead is too big My eyes too chinky My nose too snubby
I look like Nemo next to her That’s right. Nemo Nemoooooooo
Let it go, woman, let it go.
*ohmmmmm*
Girlie Madness Warning: Very Female Post
Stress makes you mad i think I never used to be a ‘Shoes ‘N Bag’ girl I never understood the insanity surrounding women with shoes and bags I never used to be one of ‘them’ Last year, i’d delight in telling people how i’m oh-so-male-like in my purchase of shoes One black pair. One white pair. One red pair. Set. Like i said, this was last year.
Thenboom.
It hits you as sudden as pimples and puberty It hits so quick that you don’t even realise you’ve become one of ‘them’ and suddenly… holy shit, i AM.

I asked QueenKanch and Nadia to follow me to Vincci at Bangsar Village II after dinner Just to look, ogle, and try not to buy anything
Problem was, we trotted into Aldo beforehand where i eyed a pretty prussian pair And we all know what happens when you walk into a not-as-nice shop after… Everything doesn’t look as nice as the former And even if it does, the shoes at Vincci are around RM150-RM200 100 bucks more and i can get a pair at Aldo!
We managed to walk out of Aldo and Vincci without buying anything *miracle!* Then QueenKanch wanted to buy ice cream at Baskin Robbins… which is just outside Aldo *miracle slowly subsiding*
“Want ice cream or not?” she asked “No… sick la,” i pointed at my throat Rum ‘n’ Raisin would not go hand-in-hand with my medication
Out of the corner of my eye, i could see the light from Aldo shining out like heaven
*cue gospel choir – Ahhhh!*
I shushed the damn choir in my head And stared at Kanch and Nadia pick their ice cream My eyes flickered to the side again
*Ahhhh!*
Then all my imaginary friends came out to play
“Enough shoes! You just bought a pair of Y3s in Jakarta.” “Y3s? Wha..? Oh. Those.” “Yes. Those.” “But… those are sneakers and these are heels. Those are red and these are blue.” “…” “Let’s just look.”
No guesses which voice controlled my legs I found myself sliding away from the two girls buying ice cream towards the light It was amazing how i moved in controlled pace despite the bickering going on in my head
No guesses which voice controlled my arms My hand moved towards the blue shoe winking at me from the shelf Take it… take it… I already knew how it looked on my feet, for trying the display side on just 15 minutes earlier.
NO!!! You’ll fucking BUY IT IF YOU TAKE IT NOW!!!
Ah… what’s the harm in just seeing how it looks on *both* feet then?
“Can i try them in size 37 please?” i heard myself ask the shop lady, who promptly turned around to fetch them
“What. The. Fuck.” “Just trying. No harm.” “Obviously ‘trying’ means ‘almost buying’ right?!?!” “Okay. Look. Think of all the expensive shoes you have. When have you *ever* regretted buying any of them?”
I stare off into space as the voices pause and i recall my purchases.
“… never.” “Exactly.”
As i sat on the couch and bent over to adjust the straps, i saw two pairs of feet appear in front of me
“See, i knew it.” “Walk into the shop again, confirm la buy!”
I felt like i was in a sitcom, as i looked at the feet attached to the familiar voices and slowly trailed my gaze up to the disapproving looks of Kanch and Nadia Kanch shook her head like an auntie as she daintily scooped her ice cream into her mouth
Needless to say…
As we walked out of the mall, i disliked the thought of having to walk back to the car alone with handbag, laptop and new shoes
“Hey… can fetch me to my car later? I parked in the housing area…so late and dark edi.” “Can can.” “Yeah. Wouldn’t want someone to nick my shoes.” ” -_- Yeah i’m sure if someone came to rob you, they’d ask for your shoes instead of your laptop. -_-“ “Yeah. I should hold my shoes tighter.” “JOYCE!!!”
i retorted to someone who was whining about his emotions and work (okay i’m exaggerating about the whining bit. and i’m so going to get smacked.)
Now i totally get AzwinAndy’s sms he sent last week We were out separately and he was being really female i.e. want to join us, don’t want to join us, let the mai call the shots for all the boys Being all sick + emo + tipsy, i texted – “Whatever. You guys missed out. I’m drunk and going home.”
To which he replied –
“Okay. But aren’t you always drunk? Muahaha. You lost out too! You’re obviously not a spartan! Cos you’re drunk! We are spartan! Tonight, we dine in hell!!!
Damn pei right his sms But it did make me laugh
Went to watch it with DrunkardDad and the Skyrocker They didn’t want to watch it together alone, feeling it was awfully gay Didn’t help that DD wore a very tight, short-sleeved T too
“Eh, who’s that actor? He’s damn familiar…” “… i don’t care man *stares at screen* All i know is he’s damn hot…” ” -_- “
And he died Of course he died The Hot Ones always die in the movie And in the stupidest way too After fighting gallantly for so long, through a whole great deal of the war Astinos can’t even hear the damn horse galloping his way Why? Cos he’s too busy basking in his father’s praise Ish
I Gave In
to denial and went to the doctor’s on Saturday morning
“Please tell me which ones make me drowsy, so that i can time them with my work,” i asked pointedly “Well, all of them are fine, including the antibiotics which you must finish. The only one is…” MisterDoctor turned his gaze down to the table, “…the cough mixture, yes?”
I maintained the same nonchalant expression as the LoudLittleVoice in my head reacted otherwise –
“YIPPEE!!!”
I experienced one of those days normal working adults do in the city Got stuck in a traffic jam Called LaughingLoga up to pass time only to hear him say (non-comforting) lines like, “Welcome to reality.” -_-
I tried to see the rosy side of things And admired the happy flowers on the divider
So i took a shot
Even in the grand view of happier life, A snitch of pessimism has to peek in…
…
Think happy thoughts… think happy thoughts Joyce… So i thought about how i was wearing my new black pants with my new Y3s
The breeze blew and…
On a more refreshing note, i saw this outdoor ad See on the right? It’s a tiang made to look like a refridgerator of Spritzer
Stuck in the jam… On a hot day… With no water in the car (cos i’m so scatterbrained and forgot)…
It really did make me wish i had a cold bottle of Spritzer with me Brilliant
I swear, the effort it takes to make time to blog now = can die Anyway, i’ve been faithfully going to Milkah (Qube) the past year for anything that has to do with my hair Cut la Straightening la Colouring la
But the other day i gallantly got my hair cut in front of strangers in… Sungai Wang 0_o
Not bad ey RM12 gets you a fresh new cut AND it all goes to charity
Okay yes i know this is a bit late But it’s on till Monday so you can still get your hair done for a bargain and feel good about it!
Just got back from a hoity toity afternoon high tea thing and off to a Dunhill event now
Lack of time Lack of happy cells Lack of clothes to wear cos i don’t even have time to do my laundry -_- Only thing not lacking is work
My approach to being sick – “if i don’t act sick, i won’t be sick!” – is not running along awfully well
You know what, i can’t even blog right now (was staring at the screen blankly) so i’m just gonna nap Many-a picture will be up later today cos there’s this charity thing i wanna blog bout
So click back later okay!
Some Help, Can?
C’mon i always share my cock stories here with you And i’m sick now Being sick is nice in the sense that everyone’s nicer to you and spoils you With the exception of hiring you a driver so you don’t have to face atrocious traffic in the hot sun
See i’m steering away from my point again
THE POINT IS, you can be nice to me by helping me click on the survey on the left okay? Please Pretty pretty please Pretty pretty please with fairydust all over the top
I wouldn’t say fairy kisses cos… i don’t really want to go around kissing everyone
The other day QueenKanch said i should open up a stall, stand there and sell fairy kisses Stu-pid.
for having a blast in Jakarta has got me feeling awfully poorly I maintained all day in the office before throwing up (rather disgracefully) in a bathroom at The Curve
“You look like shit,” said QueenKanch “Yeah. Your eyes look swollen,” quipped FaiTheMai “I… I’m okay… urm… i think i need to go to the bathroom….”
Jakarta was great But please don’t ask me about the Jazz Fest because… i didn’t even go >_<
I know, you think i lost the plot But i have my reasons I also have beef with jakarta jam for life
BEEF FOR LIFE OKAY
The artiste i wanted to catch the MOST was Sergio Mendes And thanks to the atrocious traffic, there was no way in fairy hell could we make it there on time upon touching down So fine Eat my self pity and enjoy the other shows
When it came to the day Jamie Cullum was to perform, do you know how much the fucking tickets cost?
1,000,000 Rupiah
1 million Rupiah equals to RM400 …To watch Jamie Cullum Sorry, i like listening to his songs but i don’t fancy Jamie that much
Give me a rock band any day and i would fork out the cash
So i spent the money on a pair of Y3s
Lots of new stories, friends, photos, shoes, and of course, clothes to tell of But that’s for another day when my headache isn’t doing me in
They Did It
They cornered me as i was half afloat in the Land of Nod And wrapped me in cling film
I tried to get out, i did Clawed Yelled through a throat that caved in Screamed Till my brain hurt
I managed to roll away unto the floor Excruciatingly slow Over and over As if in a cylinder It broke, the cling film
And i realised i wasn’t on the floor I was still on the bed
And i also realised it wasn’t them It was me all along
next to her
Ish
