Exactly a year ago, and the year before that, and the year before that… Joyce thinks Valentine’s Day is a sham *click* And then, she smartly embarrases Ashley in front of Chilli’s on V-Day *click*
Happy Birthday KelvinTSD!
Yay you. Okay la, i don’t know what else to say because we haven’t been meeting up (cos you always ffk me) May you enjoy at least one orgasm today which happens to fall on Valentine’s Day If not by hook or by crook, then by your hand, at the very least
Valentine’s, Schmalentine’s
Not meaning to sound like a bitter old hag But i really detest all the commercialisation involved in Valentine’s lo True, PrincessAnna stated (in KinkyPug’s blog) that *every* festival is already commercialised in some way or another
But to pay exorbitant prices for flowers or dinner is just plain ridiculous Does it somehow mean that you love the person more?
I sit in a restaurant and a flyer advertising their rates for Valentine’s Day glares at me I glare right back
I read the The Star about some giant teddy bear and hearts made of roses I grunt
My brother tells me he’s going for a movie with his girlfriend I roll my eyes
My cousin tells me she wishes she had a hot date tonight I sigh in exasperation
All in all, i’m not screwing the day over in total I just wish the flowers and dinner part would be cut out of it
Oh, and how *everyone* has to hold hands more today That just sickens me If you can’t hold their hand every other day Why today?
Heck, use your imagination people!
Make your other half something – time and effort is considered more precious these days Buy something they’ve been wanting for really long, even (see it like an extra Christmas or Birthday) Cook dinner for them! Hell if you don’t have time to cook or make anything, then takkan you can’t spend an hour going down on them?
ANYTHING BUT
The expensive dinner, flowers and couples ‘holding each other tighter today’ thing
Damn. Might as well everyone in the shopping complex hold hands together walk around in a big line right.
One love.
*bitter old hag waddles off*
Fairy Spoke Too Soon
Just when i blogged about having alot of extra time I got flung some assignments which i didn’t turn down… Due to pride and confidence that hey… i can finish it… i think… no i can i can i can
So on the contrary I’m damn busy Stressing slightly that i might have bitten more cake then i can chew And everything has to be handed in by Wednesday or else i can’t fly to Bangkok with peace of mind
But it’s that feeling of rush which i love as well I get that amazing feeling of high when i’m stressed out working Which turns into ecstacy and elation
And it doens’t matter if it’s a teeny tiny thing Even a small thing like making a card for someone in half an hour does it
AdamPoserPan went for some Martell Singles Party that night *raises eyebrow slightly* He said it’s for work/exposure bla bla bla I said okay
So next time when i have to go for a single’s party for work also can, right?
AhwinAndy and i drove all the way to God Knows Where for BubblyBelindaC’s CNY open house (okay fine, so Azwin drove and i just sat in the car and spouted gibberish)
“Joyce, you know where we are right?” “Erm… subang?” “…NO!!!!…” “….:p ….”
Daymn boy. You know the urban legend where Joyce’s directions suck? Well it’s all true.
AhwinAndy tried taking pictures of me He took alot But they all kinda sucked
Stupid Sam had to pinch me under my chin for extra fat -_-
We rushed to FaiTheMai’s place cos PassedOutBen was to spin at 11:30 I told Ben we’d be at HardSequence by 11pm
We reached the mai’s place at 11pm I started kicking up a big fuss
“Fai! Stop playing games! Go CHANGEEEE!!!! We’re already lateeee!!!!”
“No! No playing games Azwin, we gotta go already, c’monnnn!!!”
“Faiiii hurry up!, come i switch off the room lights for you!” “Wait wait! I got to take something. -_- “
We finally reached Saxophone and i went right to the front to show my big fat fairy face in front of Ben to show him i was there.
Nottifish
Right, Guy? I guess i can say my brother has excellent results to compensate for my hotness. And your brother has… a big mouth ๐
I wasn’t in a total picture-taking mood so i didn’t snap much
*giggles* SowTheGoat always makes me laugh
Saxophone was way more crowded then last time, when the BassAgents had an event there Which is great for them
But it was damn chat hot la… Which is not so great for me *whiny bitch*
So i decided to leave for Cynna at 1 am with MuskularMark
The jockey took 45 minutes to get his car out of their disorganized parking.
Forty five minutes -_-
FORTY FREAKING FIVE minutes!!!
By the time we got to Cynna, It was 2 am and
Everyone Was Tipsy
…except for us Said hi to birthday girl KimRaymond who flurried off Said hi to everyone around bla bla bla It’s damn tiring to make small talk with drunk people when you’re not happy tipsy yourself :p
I went looking for Mark “Let’s to go the bar!” “Yes, let’s!”
So we pushed our way there Ordered Sambuca shots And who would suddenly show up and swing me up in a hug but…
HotAlcoJason
At first i was staring at Adrian rather strangely, thinking What the fuck is he wearing… it’s so… redneck 0_o
He could just barely pull it off because of his height and build We got talking and he’s an attached model with Looque as well Figures
Say What?!
Say clubbing on a Sunday night.
Ridiculous.
Yes! Ridiculous, i say. But i did that just now.
Was supposed to go for just dinner at Starhill Ended up drinking and shaking my booty at The Loft with ChatterboxJojo and co. 0_o Then i realised that everyone else there have abnormal work times/freelancing That makes sense, then, cos hey I’m that now too, ain’t it?
The problem with having so much happy time is taking too many pictures to blog, spending more money then i make (lemme check) and the possibility of getting into the whole habit of lazing, which hell i hope i don’t fall into.
So let’s see Now that i’m unemployed (gawd i love saying that) My agenda for the week is: – waking up late – watching DVDs – meeting up with some friends i promised to see – *try* not to drink so much – some wine event – slipping on my bikini, splashing around the pool, read my book, have a cocktail and call everyone else who’s working just to annoy them *woohoo*
Oh, and a couple of photoshoots so that i don’t feel absolutely useless and have no purpose in life >_<
GAWD.
I love freelancing. I can feel it embracing me back already!
*
I just read everything above and realised i’m cocking with myself. Obviously i can’t STAND not doing much Cos i get restless Which leads to moody Which leads to poor Smellie getting the brunt of it
Oh dear. Let’s just see where this goes ey.
: : Edit : :
What i’m supposed to do this week?!?! Omfg i’m to fly to Bangkok on Thursday I CAN’T believe i forgot about it..
0_o
So…
I guess i have to slot in the pool-lounging session for Tuesday instead of Fri
Exactly a year ago, Joyce got thrown into the pool by HotJason And tortured by ProGerman Boys = Aaron Ben Zaidi -_- *click*
Live Love Laugh
is Vida! magazine’s tagline
Sometime in January i was asked to interview AhliFiqir If you remember, there was one post when i was groaning and griping about my lack in skill to comprehend Malay … yeah. It was then.
I pointed out it was so leet of him to match his shirt with the umbrella Turns out it wasn’t his umbrella and it was unintentional >_<
We did the photoshoot before the interview And holy shit my recorder die-ded on me *sweats*
But it turned out okay And by the end of the session, we were laughing damn alot
Nothing better then to meet artistes who ain’t all up there
(The article is already out in the Feb issue)
Fearless =
PassedOutNess
MichelleNightstar, JewelYen, NizTheFairy and i were having beer after work at Chilli’s during happy hour NizTheFairy was making fun of these Post-Its JewelYen just bought…. that cost RM 27
Damn wasting money right.
“Why did you buy such expensive Post-Its for?” “It’s for my professional exam… and i thought at least it’d look nice when i stick notes in my book.” “Oh okay. Well, i’m *sort of* studying too! I’m going through my new camera manual.” “Oh!… You’re studying too, i see…. so you bought the SAME POST-ITS?!” *gestures at his newly-purchased Post-Its excitedly*
I slapped myself before burying my face into my hands.
A whole gaggle of us went to watch Fearless after that Niz BoonThai AaronExSlut JewelYen (haha) CheeKit The movie was so boring, i passed out
I don’t think i’ve EVER passed out in the cinema before… CheeKit poked me when he saw i was asleep and i awoke with a jump Feeling slightly (only slightly) embarrased, i watched the rest of the movie YC was damn sleepy also, she kept on sitting on the edge of her seat to keep awake
Damn you CheeKit for waking me up from my glorious slumber I gather my time would have been better spent napping in there instead of watching that fuckslow movie
Should have given heed to AndrewBNBC’s advice on it being draggy Thank god i had fun shopping and drinking with happy people before that lest i would have put it down to a WASTED TRIP!!!
Coverup Coverup
My jolly friend was falling asleep in the office He happens to be a designer So his situation was such that his eyes were closed, while his hand was still on the mouse
His boss spotted him.
“Are you SLEEPING!?”
But my friend is smart, you see. He woke up but remained still with his eyes closed and said
“No man… i’m THINKING... i’m thinking what to design…”
….
….
BWAHAHA!!!
Thinking ey?
Malay people, pfft. Hee hee, you know i love you, sleepy boy!
Only Strong Survive
When KinkyPugKevin’s Bob passed away, we briefly discussed his loss
“Was he very sick?” “No la… he wasn’t sick also.” “Oh… so he was just weak la.” “Yeah….. …. ….. Like Adam.” “BWAHAHAH!!!!” “BWAHAHAAH!”
It’s nice how particular individuals cheer up the most sombre situation
That there really are evil people out there in the world
That words are words and sometimes, every single word can be a lie
That forging letters using the name ‘Mark’ doesn’t get you into jail
That someone i considered a confidante and respected superior could stab us all in the back over and over again without us knowing it…
Right after the shit hit the fan,
Everyone, including my own boyfriend, came up to me and sympathetically said “I Told You So.”
Yes they all did, but i was giving one the benefit of the doubt
I don’t regret it because it’s my principle (trying not to fall prey to rumourmongers) and meeting someone like you won’t change it
The media industry is small and i have no doubt you’ll have what’s coming to you one day.
Today is my last day with FACES as a full-timer
So everyone can stop asking me “I thought you stopped already?”
Obviously there is a month’s notice when i give in resignation letter right
I was clearing away my desk:
My Little Pony shelf stickers
Photos of Smellie, BalaTania and RinaThePowerpuff
Fairy figurines
Fairy/Design/Art books
Kitschy Dick & Jane calendar
PrincessAnna looked on forlornly
“Nah,” i handed her some leftover BacardiLimon that was sitting on my desk, “For you to remember me by and drink when you miss me.”
PrincessAnna:ย ย
Our memorable moments:
*
Partying with you for the first time in Penang ๐
Along with KennyT, LynnzterSillyWabbit, BadBoyBen, Ern, Frostie, etc.
That was seriously one of the wildest nights la ๐
The time it was raining heavily and we wanted to ta pau food from the back lane
We both wore makeshift coats and hats made from waterproof paper used to wrap the magazines for delivery
We were doubled-over laughing so hard, we almost didn’t notice
The workers at the neighbouring offices laughing at us as well
But it’s a bit difficult not to notice great hoots of laughter when they’re all looking in our direction…
*
I was bored and wanted to walk to the grocery shop behind the office to buy drinks “Do you want juice? Or Vitagen? I’m going to the shop.” “Ookay, Vitagen!” “Okay.”
So off i went.
My eyes wandered to the other products in the refrigerator
Paid i did, and pottered back to the office
PrincessAnna took her stuff “Joyce. You were supposed to buy me Vitagen… and you bought me beer.” -_-‘
I laughed back happily, “The beer was just next to it! Mag just went out to print! Nothing to do wut… so celebrate la!”
Me:ย
Anna:ย …..ย
Both of us:ย ย
*
I will miss sitting next to you everyday
But you know i’ll still pop by with ‘drinks’ now and then
I will still be freelancing for FACES as well as other publications
So if you need some photography or writing done
You know who to contact ๐
I used to go over to your house every day before school I used to throw away the food my mom prepared for me so that i could eat lunch with you (how naughty, fark i hope she doesn’t read this)
The Penyelia Petang thought we were in some girl gang *just cos* we painted our baby fingernails a weird green one day She thought it was a secret sign, remember? *rolls eyes*
We used to waste our money buying accessories we have lost in our rooms somehow I thought you were one of the hottest girls in school And i was far from that in Form 2 Yet you didn’t shun me how others at that age and with particular thought would
You told me straight to my face whenever i did anything stupid or wrong or mistreated people in any way Like once, I threw Ryan’s bag on the ground How childish i was “Would you like that person to do the same to you?” “No…”
We used to cut school together And then we got caught once -_- And then i got shifted to another school so i couldn’t mix with you anymore -_-
Four years later,
We meet up again, in our college years And everything clicked as if time didn’t pass
When you cry, i’d pinch myself not to cry When you laugh, i’d giggle merrily along
Everytime i go out with a new boyfriend You’d always tell me what i think feel love about the person Bad and good Which i had difficulty comprehending before admitting to myself “Boyfriends come and go, but best friends stay forever,” i repeated to myself
A church friend of mine once said something to me which i’ve never forgotten, “You and her right, both of you are totally different. Yet i think you both fit each other like perfect puzzles.”
Taken 2004
What i am today is partly due to you (parents also la!) Cos through the entire time i’ve known you
You’ve always been true Loyal Persistent Matured Understanding Funny Talkative
Now you’re 22, and so am i (still! haha) You’re in New York and i’m in Malaysia (boo hoo) You’re into jewelry design and i’m in media You’re single and i’m not You have long hair and i have short

Have A Wonderful Birthday Ash!
Love you so much and wish i was there to give you a huge hug and kiss
Eh i’m not late okay You’re the birthday girl and you’re running on New York time… So it’s still… 1:30 pm on your birthday there!
