Am so sick with overloaded assignments. Rushing for one assignments after another. The weeks I had just to prepare for TLC pitching is already "No time to eat, no time no sleep, no time to bath, sometimes no time to pee". If I were to lead this type of lifestyle for another year, I'll end up with kidney problem, stomach ulcer, eating disorder, and look like an underweight panda! More and more deadlines coming, but I'm just so bored with assignments!!!

Usually when I'm stressed, I would play with my hamsters. They are the ones keeping me smiling. Too bad mak-ee don't understand that, forcing me to give away all my hamsters. Saying they they caused my skin allergies. Those who never get to know my lovely, bubbly, playful, chubby hamsters.. these are their profiles:-




Name : Sor Zai..
From : Penang pasar pagi
Details :
He was the tame one. I got the most incredible feeling with him when he fall asleep in my palms! He slept so peacefully when I cover him with both my hands.
How it ends :
Died few weeks later. Fei Poh bullied him. He has got dried blood over his coat of fur near his buttocks. Guess he lost the battle. I burried him nearby where I stayed.




Name : Fei Poh
From : Penang pasar pagi
Details : Fei Poh is the one who stayed the longest with me. I love her as if she's my baby! I cuddle her like a baby.. I know she's irritated.. but I just love to hold her and let her walk on my hands.
Characteristics :
Greedy pig! Loves to stuff alot of kua chi in her mouth! At least 30 kua chi.. fuiyooo...
Master of escaping from all type of cages
Stunt master. "monkey bar" and "spider man" - She can hang herself upside down and also side ways. She escaped from the cage and dropped from my 6th floor apartment. She was found at G Floor drain - all wet but not even a scratch or broken bones.
How it ended : 2 years later, she escaped when I was at Klang - Fei Poh not seen since then.


Name : Mini Me
From : Bought by Robin and Jia as my birthday present.
Characteristic : Skinny one.. and always chased by Fei Poh (she had a crush on him). He tame but sometimes still shiver whenever I hold him.
How it ends: I didn't get to spend much time with Mini Me because he escaped from the cage few months later.



Name : Zai Zai
From : Nelson bought me Zai Zai and Xing Xing.
Details : These little fella is drawf hamster. They are so tiny, fast and furious! They never like to be hold. At first, whenever we hold them, they shit on our palm, we scare the hell out of them!
Characteristic : Zai Zai is more timid and slow. Just loves to mate, mate and mate. And always got "rejected" by Xing Xing.


Name : Xing Xing!
Characteristics : Very active, big bully and a very good swimmer! She's as active as Fei Poh, just that she's alot faster. I found out that female hamsters are more active compared to male ones. They are usually ones that got bullied by the females.


Hey! How did you get up there! Wait.. How did you get out from the cage?!!

Zai Zai and Xing Xing babies. Few weeks old.. the seven drawfs. I couldn't name all of them, because I couldn't recognise them! Few of them had Zai Zai's fur.. darker with a black long line at the back. Some of them has grey fur like their mama.
Sand bathing! Clean and cozy.. they lurve it~
Baby baby~ you're so tiny and cute!!! She just stand still on my palm for that few minutes. Haha~

How it ends : I had to give all of them away due to uncontrolled birth. Xing Xing got pregnant many times and I have around 20 hamsters in total! Such a BIG family.. but I love it. Just had to give it away because of mom's complaints.


I truly enjoyed having hamsters as my pet. Wanted to have a plant, fishes, turtle or dog to take care soon. The satisfaction to see something you care about grow day by day, it's a very nice and calming feeling. They take away all my stress...

I am tired, but happy. Pitching for TLC (a non profit org that gives 100% divident of product sales to charity home) is finally over. I did my best for the pitch, hope my best is good enough for the rest of the teammates. Our BIG IDEA might not be that appealing (as what Ms. Serene comment), but we do have creativity in some sense.

I'm just glad that Ms. Serene grouped us the way she did. All of us have our own expertise -

1) Khee Yan as Copywriter who came out with very brilliant copy. One of his work is for T-shirt - front side stating "It takes good hands to fly a kite" and back side stating "It takes a good heart to wear this t-shirt".

2) Rachel & Melissa - The Creative Directors who came out with great ideas - simple thoughts can be BIG idea too! Dun play play~

3) Angela - skilled Graphic Designer who came out with very nice designs for all our ads.

4) Mei Kun, Yoyo & Hsze Wei - Researcher for SWOT, finance supervisor, budget controller & also admin. Without them, our proposal wouldn't be so organized.

5) The guys Louis & Chee Hon - They are the ones in backstage - making sure everything is OK. We had hard time involving them because they couldn't online. But they they never missed any discussion at all! Full attendance! Haha~

7) Me - Filter (position given by Rachel)- Due to my age gap with my teammates, I think more like Ms. Serene and kept standing at client side - thinking if this or that idea is workable. In other words, I'm the "loop-hole finder". I felt many times like i "splash cold water" (phut lang sui in cantonese) to my teams as I kept questioning their idea. Kekekee...

After pitching, the comments we got was:

+ve : All your groups chose the right person in the team to pitch.
+ve : Group took initiative to print out creative execution - Good!
+ve : Like Powerpoint because got pictures
+ve : Joyce look pretty today (coz I make up), Joyce voice was the loudest among other girls who pitched (I chor lor ma)

-ve : Don't have a strong BIG idea, more to events and activities
-ve : Don't pitch well - didn't practice guidelines for pitching
-ve : Too many pictures cramped in 1 slides - very kia su
-ve : "Joyce, jaga your gesture, don't slap your thigh like that" (wooppss.. that time I accidentally slapped my thigh one laa.. haha) - It was so funny when Ms. Serene said that. And she slapped her butt while saying "Luckily you didn't slap your butt like this". Wahahahaa~

It doesn't matter anymore if we win or lose in this pitching. Coz I really had a great time with this team. Although we are from the same class, we hardly speak to each other - some even never spoke to me before. But after this assg and pitching, we became very supportive and motivated to make this assg a success - which we did!



Rachel & I (from coursemate to classmate to teammate and friends now!)


Ones I had great time with, my teammates and pool kaki - Melissa, Rachel & Mei Kun~


With teammates - Mei Kun, Angela and Yoyo at Old Town Kopitiam. We were all so happy that pitching is oveeerrrr~

People, support TLC! All for quality, all for charity. You can do a good deed while doing your shopping. Look out for TLC products at JJ, Carrefour and Cold Storage supermarket.

Few weeks ago my sister persuaded me to attend this year's Amway Convention. As usual, a No No for me. Except last year, or last 2 years (I forgotten), I attended Amway Convention because they invited Lee Hom as their special guest. Wooo.. I wouldn's miss that!!! I remembered the show was great! He sang for like 30 minutes only, but I really enjoyed it. That's the only highlight for me for the entire night. No offence Amway people, but since I'm not really interested, I'm pretty bored with the speeches and stuff. Although I'm a member myself, I just uses Amway product, not really interested in the business part. I really can't wait for all those motivation speech to end. Sorrieee~


Now back to my sister's persuasion for this year's Convention. She said "JJ is the special guest! Although I don't know who is he.. but he's the special guest!". Mana boleh right? How can people do not know who JJ is?!! I saw JJ's performance twice already. Once during his concert (even shake hand with him), and another time is when he appear as special guest for Lee Hom's concert. So this time.. Rm35 for a t-shirt and to see JJ sing, I nodded immediately! Went there with Vince.. waited for like 3hours.. yawning and getting bored during speeches and stuff.. and just waiting for JJ. While others shouted "Amway!! Amway!!".. I shouted "JJ!! JJ!!". He finally came out 30 minutes before the event ends. And to my disappointment, I didn't get enough of JJ because he only sang 3-songs and just BYE within 15 minutes! He sang "Dou Jiang You Tiao", "Yi Qian Nian Yi Hou" and "Horray!". Really not worthy to wait for few hrs just to see him for 15 minutes. Sigh~


No photos of JJ to update for this event. I sat very far away from the stage. DAMN FAR... Event held at Putra Stadium @Bukit Jalil, 22nd June 2008, I think more than 10k people attended the event.



The online info I get from 'upline'.



Joyce showing off da 'lightsaber' while Vince showing off da t-shirt, both merchandise from AmwayConvention


All the DDs up there on the stage.. those got pangkat in Amway business punya~
Really admire their determination!



The stage after light is off and performance is ON~

Had a great, crazy and tiring night last week. And it's definitely a memorable one!


I went out with classmates for dinner at Talipon (steamboat & BBQ buffet), then for pool and fusball game, then back to my house for some beer and to play 'Dare or Dare' game. Dare and Dare game give you no options but to just perform the 'Dare' when you get the chosen poker card - Joker and number 4. Each action needs 2 person to perform. Fair right? Wait till you get the chosen card again and again.. and to perform those funny/ geli actions again and again.. with those of same gender, of worst, different gender while your own girlfriend/ boyfriend is watching!


We proposed many dares, and mostly are those that 'foster friendship and bonding'.. like kissing (suggestions vary from forehead to leg), give 'curry chicken' (ka li kai) to another friend, and tongue to tongue action. Kekeke~ And all these applied even though both the person are the same gender.


Based on that night's performance, I vote Robin as 'Player of the Night'. He was so 'suey' that he got all sort of challenges thrown at him and its mostly to 'bond' with the guys.. Look at these~









Robin's luck wasn't that bad after all. At least he got to kiss girls - he won't feel so gay after that. Sorry for not uploading the photos of him kissing girls - it's kinda sensitive to look at boy-girl kiss since they have their own girlfriend and boyfriend. Kekeke~


As for Vince.. hahaha~ He definitely has won the title for 'Gay of the Night!!!" No girls for him.. only guys.. what a luck!!! Look at uploaded photos.. It doesn't need much explanation on why he got the title.. *wink*















Picture quality ain't that good because it's all print screens from video taken with Vince 2MP hp.

These games are funny and FUN for those who watch, not those who perform. Haha~ Had a GREAT time and looking forward for more~

Note : This game can only be played if you have friends like mine - sporting and daring! Haha~

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!


Was supposed to join Father's Day dinner with family today. But I haven't finish up my assignments and report.. *sob sob* They must be having a great time now.. with sharks fin soup, roast chicken, yam basket etc etc etc.. yummm yummmmm~ Pity me~


While others are having a nice meal, I'm here at CyberCafe to online for assignment sake (I blog awhile to release stress ok..) And while others is enjoying companionship of family member, I'm here sitting beside a stranger with very smelly feet! He sit like nobody business with his leg folded up on the chair. The stench? UNBELIEVABLE!!! Yucks!!! And if this is not yucky enough, he's picking his nose now! I mean right now when I'm typing this out! He pick his nose, look at his finger, and stick whatever 'gold' he got under the table! He did it again and again and he wipe his nose with his t-shirt! Holy cow! This is the worst experience in CC!!! Can't image what else is on or under the table! Ish! Geli!!!

I definitely won't be coming to CC again once I have my line fixed at home!!! Can't blog about anything grosser than this! Spoil the Father's Day mood laaaa.....


Before I sign-off, I would like to say "Happy Father's Day daddy! Although I'm not there to celebrate this once in a year occasion with you, I'm sure you'll have a enjoyable dinner with abang-abang, kakak, all your lovely grandchildren and mak-ee!"


This is my parents! My act-cool dad and mumbling mum (well, that's why the word mumbling has a 'mum' there). No matter what, I love both of them VERY VERY much and don't ever want to have anyone besides them as my parents!!! *muackssss~

I've poured my heart out. My agony, my pain, my pride - it's written in Xanga. It's a difficult week, knowing that what I strive hard for, which I have achieved, is ruined in that unexpected 3 months. It's just the worst 3 months of my life and I don't want to hear anything about it anymore. It just sucks. Plain bad luck!


Well, another sem started. It's good seeing all the classmates. Excited to see if any of them changed, and observed that many has got better skin complexion. Perhaps the air-conditioned environment during the Internship helps. Everything starts smooth for this sem except for the time-table. Has got morning classes EVERYDAY. And it started either at 8am or 10am. So happen those timings are the time when I'm still sleeping with my pajamas on, covered beneath my comfy blanket, and still deep in my sweet dreams of lollipop and cotton candy. So it's Vince who usually get my lazy ass up from the bed. Hmmm.. What do I do without him? Haha~


As much as I wanted him to be by my side everyday, I fear that there's possibility that I have to go thru the rest of the path by myself soon. He will walk away for something better, for his family, for himself. And I wouldn't want to stop him just because it's good for everyone else but bad for me.


For now, I might not have the courage to tell him to go with my blessing, but I know there's never an intention for me to stop him from going. I'm just too sadden that this path is a lonely one, and only made for me to walk alone.


The path for me includes completing my studies at Malaysia, then to Liverpool - UK for Degree, then to Singapore to work (probably), and when I'm fit enough, to Australia for good. I do hope this plan includes both of us. There's nobody else that I want to go through all these with.
