-  outdated post from 30th Sept 2012

- was thinking if I should blog about this coz i'm freaking tired now
but a gold medal definitely deserved to be blogged about!!! 


Team Psyco did it again!

Yes "psycho" without the 'h' is to prove how Psycho they are!!!
(too psycho to recognize spelling!)

We emerge as defending champion for the third year now!!!

SSRC Paintball Tournament
Our gold medals since 2010

Am just happy that I get to play together with the pro players..
.. and we really did KICK ASS!!! woot!!!

There are a total of 8 teams from different BU
who joined the SSRC Inter-Division Paintball Tournament 2012.

This time we played at Dome Paintball, Summit USJ instead of Padang ASTAKA, PJ.
Dome is an air-conditioned arena, but is smaller in size.

I prefer the Padang ASTAKA coz it is gonna make you run around under the hot sun 
which will eventually drain your energy - this is why we play sports right? :P


Joyce Yap paintball
Capt sayang me so much that he brought his paintball mask and jersey just for meee...
"Ini amoi kena jaga baik-baik.. lebam nanti x cantik!"... bluek :P

psyco ssrc
Team Psyco led by Capt Razali / Uncle Zali aka Uncle Z

Psyco SSRC
Setia Eco Park team rockz!

The battle was hard for me physically coz I made a very bad call.

Few days BEFORE the battle Barry did gua sa for me,

then I went for a 2 hours session of traditional massage at Amante.
Kept telling them "harder... yes harder!!!" (sound so wrong...)

Both gua sa and massage proved to be a bad timing!



Look!!!

Skin sore from gua sa on 27/09/12

Muscle pain from the massage on 29/09/12

Was pushing my body to the limit during paintball on 30/09/12


After paintball, my body collapsed of exhaustion.
Zzzzzzzzz....

I was telling Barry that I'm lovin my life now..
Coz every single minute spent by doing what I like doing..
And I get to see people I love seeing..

Oooh i'm feeelin oohhh soooo gooood! 
(dancing and giggling while saying this)

He then said I should listen to Michael Buble Feeling Good
from his Crazy Love album

Hear it for the first time and I start grooving with it!
Feelin like the song was written just for me!! Haha!!!

"It's a new dawn... it's a new day... it's a new life.... for me..."

Thanks Barry for the intro!!! 
Another great song from youuuu... YAY!!!

Don't forget to listen to Michael Buble Hold On too ya~~~





Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel


 
Reeds driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good



Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good



Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Fooor me



Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Yeah freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
hu
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life



It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new life
For me



And I'm feeling good

* hands closing face *

filled with embarassment

i seriously think FB is getting more sucky


facebook sucks


u know when there are times where u just view people's profile on your mobile

and that someone is not under your friend list

then browsing using android is difficult

coz since every single "touch" on the screen is so sensitive

and u don't even notice that you pressed something you are not supposed to?

like the  ADD FRIEND  button????

and it came so shocking to you when someone told you "Hey... why did you add that person?!!"

then you have to feel so "sorry" and quickly  UNFRIEND  them..

and today I feel even more embarrassed

coz I didn't noticed that I've accidentally pressed the 'Add Friend' button

on someone that I don't have intention to befriend with..

And the worse part is that I don't know how long ago was it

and went to view that person's profile again after so long

just to notice something

 FRIEND REQUEST SENT

Me : WHAT!!!!!!!!

quickly look for  CANCEL FRIEND REQUEST 

and the most embarrassing thing is that

God knows how long the request was there

but it has never been approved

kinda bring down my self esteem

It's like those small little kid telling their mum with their sad face "Mummy.. why Alice dowan to friend me"

But aside from my low self esteem

My case is different

Coz I have no intention to be friend or whatsoever!

I hope that person don't perasan that I wanted to be friend

or that I still cares..

it's just a habit I need to get rid of..

*ah shit... malunya!!!*


.... still can't believe this is happening... no face ahhh!!!

and it happened for a few times!

What Facebook can do is to ask for confirmation when someone click on the Add Friend button


- still in the office...  time to wrap things up and call it a day -

Don't u just love October?
May be too early to tell.
But I can smell that great things are coming my way.. *sniff sniff*

Am happy to see my dear Chriz for lunch today.
Cafe Mocha + Egg Croissant at Pacific Coffee.
What could be better than having a good companion, having yummylicious lunch at a comfy cozy place?
Just wish we have more time tho'..

Look! Domo is laughing at me for being vain!

Who would have thought that a lady like me 
would love listening to Kenny Roger's songs...

Kenny Rogers is 74 years old now..
He started singing in the mid 1950s..
And have written and sang the most wonderful love song ever!!!

I grew up listening to Lady, 
You Decorated My Life, 
She Believes In Me 
Through The Years..
.. just to name a few.

Never in my life I would imagine that Kenny Rogers 
will have a concert here in Malaysia.

It's like.. him? A legend?
.. to sing here in Malaysia? 

Nah.. will never happen..

Surprisingly, he is going to! 
Yes here in Malaysia!


But to my dismay, I could not make it to see him 
on the 23rd October 2012 at the Arena Of Stars @ Genting Highlands. 

The tickets ranges from RM100 to RM480. 

At this point of time, I believe the only tickets available are ones above RM380. 


Kenny Rogers - She Believes In Me (1978)




Kenny Rogers - You Decorated My Life (1979)


Kenny Rogers - Lady (1980)

This song was written and produced by Lionel Richie (one of my favorite singer)



Kenny Rogers - Through The Years (1982)





Mr. Kenny Rogers, I may not see you performing..
But I truly love all your songs..

Right now, just seeing your video from your previous performance 
on You Decorated My Life makes me smile with joy..

I couldn't imagine what would I feel 
if I get to see you performing infront of my very eyes..
My eyes would be teary in the whole two hours concert.. 

And I may just be the youngest audience in your concert!!! Heheheee...

Your voice is soothing, and your song.. it feed my soul... 

Thank you... and thank God for Kenny Rogers!!! :)

Nice song from the Crazy Love album by Michael Buble..

This song is just what I need now..



God, I know you have given me the strength to have forgiveness and compassion.

But do give me strength to be less angry.

Coz I'm slowly losing grip of myself.

Give me strength to HOLD ON to me, and my life.
Hehehe... :)

This is a backdated post of an outing with buddies last weekend.
Feeling lazy for a week then decided to just put the photos all together and call it a POST! ;)

---------------------------------------


Went to Antipodean Cafe @ Bangsar for breakfast.
A new place for me.
Loved it.

Thanks Barry for suggesting this place for breakfast.
Such a waste you couldn't join us.


joyce yap food
Opening hours from 8am, but get ready to wait for at least 20mins for your table.

"No menu sir, it's all on the board... "

Vince & Kien Fei.. friends for 10 over years! 

 Pls be prepared to be served with a hearty meal that could keep you stuffed throughout the day.
Vince ordered 4 main course for all 4 of us.
I actually advised him to order 2 main and a side.
But ah well....

Among all the meal ordered, I prefer the classic big breakfast.
The kiwi lamb burger is not to my liking. Patty is dry.
Carbonara on the other hand is a little different in terms of pasta selection and the cream.
Vince and Michelle likes it though. 
Depends on individual preference.

Big breakfast with a wheatmeal bread, scramble eggs, bacon, grilled potato ... and my fav wild mushroom!

While looking at the chalkboard menu with my glasses on,
Fei darlin' aka Sei Fai Zai whispered to Vince about me..
After showing my stern face..
Fei darl spilled the beans, finally..

"Joyce looked like OL in AV with the specs on"

Me....

WTF?!!

Another stern face and he said I should take it as a compliment instead of an insult!

Took two photos, with and without glasses.

After such a heavy breakfast, we went to Bangsar Village to walk around.
In and out from CD shop, painting shop, sports outlet, 
admire expensive watches, laughing at how a notebook could cost RM259.00, 
and Michelle bought her fav macaroons. 
Vince bought a card game called Cluedo Suspect.


---------------------------------------

I then brought them to WIP @ Bangsar Shopping Centre.
WIP was previously known as "Work In Progress" and is now "Whipped Into Place!"

Told them about the BEST LAVA CAKE I ever had @ WIP!

...but we end up disappointed.
The Lava Cake is not as yummylicious as I remembered..
Where the center is soft, creamy and molten.. :(

Myself and Vince had mojito as they are having Happy Hours promo..
RM19 from their selection of Magnificent Five Mojitos!

Our beautiful Sunday didn't just end at Bangsar!
Came back to Klang and went to see Dredd.




The concept of the movie is not-that-bad.
What's bad is that gruesome part.
I was covering my face with the scarf most of the time.

And nobody would find out who is the lead actor in the movie cause
he's behind the mask the entire movie!

Just so you know, the character Dredd is acted by Karl Urban.
Karl Urban also acted in RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous)
alongside Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman.


Karl Urban (Dredd) and Olivia Thirlby (Anderson)


---------------------------------------

Thanks guys for giving me such a beautiful day.
Do treasure and love every bits of you!

This photo would look better if I'm smiling.. :)


---------------------------------------

Last week ET posted on my FB saying...

Happiness is a state of mind. Devote 5 minutes of your time to smiling daily and after a while, it will happen naturally

I replied...

Thanks dear.. I have tried.. But it's more to like faking smiles. A smile should come from happiness within. Else, that curve on the lips can also shows the sorrow inside. Agree ma?

And his post is actually an instruction... that I should do it daily. 5 mins everyday!

So... for the next 5 minutes... let's....


** SMILE!!! **

Stomach hurts so bad today.

Don't know what happened but I think that I may have throw up too often.

Curl myself like a ball on the bed and fell asleep with the pain.

Woke up an hour later n drag myself to dinner.

Am tired of myself in this condition n looking like a ghost on the mirror!!!

Bad bad tummy!!!




When everyone is commenting that I look pale, I think this photo shows that I'm not that bad...

Maybe they are just exaggerating larhh..
