Nothing much.

Reading people's blogs just made me feel like blogging as well. It's 4AM now but I ain't asleep yet. I think I sorta got some insomnia already. Which is a bad thing boo. Anyway small updates about my little life, my mum came home one day last week, and holding a Singtel plastic bag, she just, "Nah." Then I gave the quizzical face and took the bag. I looked in and I really screamed you know. I saw an iPhone 4 there! So happy can?! Yea and I told my friends, and they were all saying my mum is so nice. Really mama is very nice and loves her kids a lot. She used to tell us, that her mum( my grandma) is like quite strict with her, not allowing her to date till she was like 18 I think, and my grandma didn't like her going out with this guy who might have became my dad (o.o) so my mum broke up with him. Hahaha no lah impossible for that any other of her boyfriend to be my dad, coz me being born depends on the male and female DNA. So if my mum went with that guy, then I wouldn't even be born! And thus makes the world a sadder place without Joyce around. Hahaha! BHB only! Oh yea so my mum was saying my grandma was strict with her, and she felt restricted, therefore she wanna learn from her mum and treat us more relaxed, so that we won't feel or face the same thing that she went through. I think that's a really awesome theory. To learn from the mistakes of the past generation. Many people, will treat their kids the same way they were treated. So like if their mums used to call them or expect them to call after school or whatever everyday, when their kids grow up, they will also want their kids to do the same because to them, that is how a mum should be like? But actually I think that's the wrong theory coz if you didn't like it as a teenager/kid, then why must you make your kid go through the same thing you did? Revenge? Hello, you're already a parent and yet so childish? Idk lah but I'm really glad my mum doesn't ask me to call her everyday after school or what. Just tell her when if I'm coming home for dinner or not. Which is alright, coz if not she buy for me then I eat already also wasted.

Yea and I sync-ed my phone already so don't need you guys to tell me your number anymore. Hahaha but the photos I took with my iPhone4 is all gone -.- nvm since I camwhore so much. Hahaha just take photos tomorrow! Yea! I'm going out with Sheryl and friends later. Shoe shopping! Hahaha so fun. I love girly moments, cause I never really had them while in Secondary school. In Sec 3-4, I was with that guy, but we're over and done and he likes someone new now. Angry? No. I've already moved on, and I'm glad he moved on as well. Since we both know there is no more spark anymore.

Well I'm not even sure if anyone reads this space lah, since I'm lame and all that. And I seem to be talking to myself coz no one leaves comments. It's okay, I like talking to myself coz Geminis apparently are like have two personalities. So I'm alright with talking to myself. Hahaha but if you all really wanna say stuff, don't like post on my wall in Facebook can? Why not you just write comments here coz I will read! I swear! I just don't now, coz I know no one leaves them anyway. Haha.

My tests are all over and we've only got 2 weeks to recuperate. And my 2 weeks aren't really a rest period. I would be going out almost everyday! The second week will be totally packed. I'll be doing something really nice for everyone for Christmas. Now you all regret not knowing me close as a friend right? Hahaha. Oh and Zhiyu just came back from Bali. She got us all wooden bracelets and I chose a blue one. :) So happy and felt so loved. Even overseas, people are thinking of you and buying things with you in mind. So I also wanna love all my friends the same way my friends and my mum loved me. I already got a present for my mama. Not just cause she got me a new phone lah. Coz I really love my mummy can! Hahaha. I guess I'm not really like most teenagers, coz teens these days rarely talk to their parents, but I can talk fine with my mum, and I still kiss her. Haha I think to have a family you can talk with is really nice. I like people who have strong family ties. You just feel so happy for them, hearing their stories and what they do together as a family right? Haha.

Anyway I have been sick these few days. Down with cough. I even missed my Marketing paper. I was having cough, flu and headache that day. I woke up 12.45, when my paper was like 1. And we could go into the exam hall at 12.50 to read the paper for 10mins first. So you all know lah. Impossible for me to chiong there, so I just sorta lie in bed and say, "woah shit lah..." Then MC lor. Since I'm already sick. And I realised everytime I got an MC for oversleeping, I will always really be sick. And always, I would be having cough. The doctor was like saying, "You get coughs quite frequently huh.." Then I just kept quiet. I think this time was the best diagnosis ever, because she told me to keep myself warm, or I will never recover! WARM! YES! I've always been sensitive to chills since like I was just a baby Joyce. My mum had to wrap me up in the baby blanket, making me unable to move. Haha and not even turning the fan on, I will still sneeze. Haha I must have looked adorable. If my little baby were to sneeze next time, I will be like, AWWWW! And wrap my baby in blanket. At home I heck care already. Lazy to cough covering my mouth. So I just coughed just now, and the phlegem flew to my knee. Heh so embarassing. Lucky no one saw that.

Anyway I am skinny once again. Coz I lose weight quite fast, just as fast as how I gain weight these days. I merely skipped lunch and had dinner at 10.30pm on Friday, and I took my weight this morning, I was 42.8kg. When I used to be like 44-45 these days. Idk what is wrong with me. I totally should not skip meals lah. Or I'll end up being bones. And I've been thinking of cutting my hair short, like touching my shoulders. People say I look better with long hair. But look ok with short hair too. Hendricks was really sweet. He was like saying, I look pretty anyhow. It's really encouraging and makes me feel really happy when people say I'm pretty. Even though I don't know if they really mean it or not cause there are so many more girls prettier than me. Most people will say I am cute, and I got bored of hearing it already. It's a compliment but it's much nicer to hear people say you're pretty coz anyone can be cute if they want to but not everyone is pretty? More shiok to hear pretty lah.

I actually wanted to blog quite short, just like short updates but end up being a kinda lengthy post. I don't know I think I have the natural ability to whine and complain and talk a lot. Maybe I got it from my grandma. Hahaha kidding! K I'm quite tired now. I shall go sleep now. Bye guys!

Tata,
Joyce



Go lie on your bed too. Hahaha

P.S: I think I look like my friend Lyn over here. And I was shocked. Coz already there are people saying we look alike, and this photo I really feel like abit. Then I show her. She also think abit. Hahaha

Err hi, I'm back.

Hahaha I feel guilty blogging but these few days I just feel like blogging. Oh ya, it's because my Blogging Bug(refer to a few posts down) is back. It's weird because it's the test period and I'm supposed to be studying, but here I am, blogging and Facebook and Twitter is up and I really don't feel like studying. Makes me feel like a bad girl. Anyway, most of my classmates are now studying and that is what makes me feel even more guilty, when everyone else is studying while I'm not. I just felt like blogging although I don't know what to blog about. Okay maybe how about I tell you the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? *eyes lights up* :D Huh? No? You don't wanna hear it? Oh ya you know about that right, my Dad used to tell me, that when I was a young Joyce(like 3 years old), he would recite the story to me. And using a happy and delightful tone, he will be like "Papa Bear, Mama Bear and..." and I was supposed to say "Baby Bear!" But I don't know why I so cute last time, always go "Beybee Beah..." And say it really slow and always frowning. Okay I think I still frown a lot. Like when I watch the television and am concentrating very hard, usually doing tests or exams or just work, I would be frowning. Well I guess that's a Joyce trademark and it's hard to die off. Although frowning is bad, like it makes you old. But I look younger than my age so I guess it's okay? Hahaha. Oh! And I realised, my mum frowns when she concentrates on the TV programme too! No wonder I frown too... Oh ya and the adults (meaning my Mum and Dad) would get so amused because I sound so cute and sad. Like it's a poor thing to have a Baby Bear. Hahaha woah I hear I also think I very cute. No wonder I am STILL so cute now. Hiak hiak hiak.

Have I ever told you I like Taylor Swift? Hahahaha yea and I think I sound like Taylor Swift when I sing? I guess I grew up learning how to imitate people and sounds. That's why I'm good at doing the dog bark sound. And watching Disney, I think I sound like Ariel in part of your world hahahha! And my friend said I sound like her too! Like when I sang Fearless and Crazier. :D I like Taylor Swift's voice and songs. Hahaha and I sometimes randomly write songs in my head. Ya lah don't laugh. One day I become a singer and sing my own songs, then you all will be singing it too. And then I will have the last laugh coz you all are singing the nonsense bathroom songs I created. Hahahha! Okay dreaming and being delusional. *Slaps self then sayang my face again* Anyway, my friend says I sound like Taylor Swift, Colbie Calliat and Rainie Yang. Hahahha I know I own. K lah leave you all already. Don't miss me! Hahaha bye!

Toodles Woodles,
Joyce

P.S: Lydia asked me to wear the cutesy clothes, and although I wanna break free, I think I still look nice when I pull off cute. So should I stay in the cute image? Or should I be like girly girl? Hahaha

Storytime.

Unlocking the gate to the house, she then pushed open the door. As she scanned the environment of the house, she saw the old man sitting there on the sofa, one leg propped up, with the television switched on, the volume blasting through the speakers. Some Chinese programme was playing on the screen. The house was messy, as ever. Things were sprawn all over the dining table. Peanut shells and empty beer cans. " Seriously, why must he drink everyday?! " She thought to herself, frustrated with the mess.

It seemed as though he just realised her existence. He looked at her outfit, bottom up. Hot shorts, tube top, thick makeup that he barely could recognise her. She looked much older than her actual age.

"Oh, home liao ah? Your teacher called. Why never go school today?" He questioned.

"Didn't feel like going." She replied, clearing the trash from the dining table.

This had been going on for several months. His daughter skipping school, smoking, getting into trouble outside. He wondered why his 16-year-old turned so rebellious. He recalled his former days where he too was behaving the same way his daughter was. Why did she have to turn out the same way that he did? It was all thanks to his wasted youth that he was unable to get a job these days. No matter what campaigns they came up with, ex-convicts will always be ostracised and unaccepted by the general public. He knew what was to come one day for her. All he could do now is to spend his life as a couch potato, watching the television, spending whatever little amount he has on 4D and at random gambling dens, just to try his luck.

"Err, Girl ah, you can lend me $100? I will return you one. Just need to buy some things." He held tight to the remote control, pretending to watch the telly.

She, already accustomed to giving money and not receiving anything in return, fished out her Prada wallet from her little handbag and threw $200 on the table.

"Don't ask anymore from me this week." She said it in a straight face and walked to her room, locking herself in till she left the house again.

Sitting on the bed, she started reminiscing about the times spent when Mum was still around. At least, there would be food on the table everyday. Mum would prepare lunch then leave it in the microwave before leaving for work. Religiously, she would reach home around 6.30pm, to catch the news on TV and prepare dinner at the same time. Life wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. At least much better than the situation now. Heck, she brushed those thoughts aside. She didn't want to start tearing. She never liked being weak and vulnerable. She logged on to Facebook. One new message. "Min, you are cheap. I despise you." Immediately, like as though she already inticipated a negative comment, she deleted it straight away.

"Yea, I'm cheap. So what? At least I earn my own keep." She retorted to herself, glancing at the expensive makeup and luxury goods she purchased, earned with her own effort. A new text message showed up. Sliding across to unlock the screen of her iPhone, she read the message softly. "Hey love, I'm downstairs now. We're going to Bali remember? Wife overseas for 4 days and I miss you so much. " She didn't get the name saved under the contacts in her phone. But she remembered the number and knew which guy it was. The thirty-something henpecked man. "K baby, see you soon. I miss you too." She lied. Searched her wardrobe for some clothes and dumped it into a larger Victoria Secrets bag. She took her passport along and thought, "this is the last few times I'm doing this, " stuffing some things into her shorts pocket and grabbing her phone, "earn enough and I'm never coming back."

She unlocked the room door and took her things, walking hurriedly towards the main door.

"Where you going?" The man asked.

"Staying at friend's house for a few days." She replied, slamming the gate shut.

Just saying.

You know it's like 3.45AM right now and I'm not asleep yet. And I'm having a test later at 9AM and I'm studying and reading blogs at the same time. And you know nothing gets into my head so I'm quite worried and the blog stuff is easier to read compared to the POM notes because it's so dry and makes me wanna cry and I really feel that I won't be able to score an A in my most confident subject this Sem which is POM. And I'm so in trouble because I am repeating myself I know but I just can't remember lah! And it's like 3.47AM now and how come I'm not tired yet? It's so weird and I really needa go get some sleep. Actually I've not even bathed ever since I came home and I feel really dirty and smelly. Okay I will attempt to type whatever POM I remember.

General and Task Environment for the External factors, General consisting of SELIT, and Task has Suppliers, Customers, Competitors, Labour Market. Internal has Stories, Symbols, Ceremonies, Heroes, Slogans.

Strategic Goals- top management,broad targets, focus on organisation

Tactical Goals- middle management, for units/departments, more specific than strategic goals

Operational Goals- lower management, narrower in scope, desired results from lower levels

Means-end chains means the goal is set at the top management, but fulfilled from bottom to top.


Basic Planning Process
1) Set SMART goals.
2) List alternatives to reach goals
3) Develop assumptions
4) Choosing best alternative to reach goals
5) Develop plans to pursue chosen alternatives
6) Execute plan.


Single-use plans are plans that are used once and not likely to be repeated while Standing plans are plans that will be used as a guideline, procedure, or a set of rules to follow.

Strategic Planning
1) Develop mission and goals
2) SWOT analysis,
Porter's 5 competitive forces
-Rivalry among existing firms
-Threat to new entrants
-Bargaining power of customers
- " of suppliers
-Threat of substitute for products and services

3) Access Str and weakness
4)Generate Alternative Strategies
-Growth strategies
-market penetration(current market current goods, you go into market with same goods)
-market development(new market current goods)
-product development(current market new goods)

-Differentiation( unique products and services as seen in the market)
-Focus ( differentiated or cost leadership goods in niche market)
-Cost leadership (Maximising efficiency and minimising cost)

5)Develop strategic plan
6)Develop tactical plans
7) control and assess
8) Repeat process

P.S: You know I hate Porter initially beacause thanks to him I have to learn his 2 famous theories he created but now I kinda like him coz I think it's kinda easy and I hope Strategic Planning comes out in Case Study. Oh Lord please help me lah!

Imma get done with Organising and go bathe and sleep. Hahaha some I don't remember but I flipped my notes and it's 4.06AM now. I myself is amazed how fast I study. Hahaha.

Organising has 5 structures. Traditional ones are Functional, Divisional and Matrix. Contemporary ones are Team and Network.

Functional-grouped based on common skills, expertise

Adv- in-depth skills development, career progression within functional departments, excellent co-odination within functions.
Disadv- decisions concentrated at top of hiearchy, poor communication across functions, limited general training for employees.



Divisional-separated based on common product or geographical region

Adv- good co-ordination across functions, good customer focus, develop general management skills
Disadv- duplication of resources across divisions, difficulty in top management control, competition for coporate resources.


Matrix-divisional and functional at the same time. Effect of 2 bosses.

Adv-more efficient use of resources, develop both general and specialised skills, expertise available to all divisions.
Disadv- power dominance on one side of the matrix, many meetings and less action instead, frustration and confusion from dual chain of command.


Team- made of work groups or teams, cross-functional in nature.

Adv- Breaks down barriers across departments, less response time and quicker decisions, boost morale and enthusiasm.
Disadv- time and resources spent on meetings, too much decentralisation.

Network-separate companies in headquarters, good for international companies.

Adv- Global competitiveness, workforce flexibility, reduced administrative overhead
Disadv- Weaken employee loyalty, no hands-on control, lose organisational part.

Chain of command
-unity of command (1 employee 1 supervisor)
-scalar of command (afew employees to 1 supervisor)

Line authority( directly responsible e.g Marketing Manager directs Marketing Executive)
Staff authority (give advise to other managers of other departments e.g Marketing Manager provides assistance to HR Manager)

Work schedules
-Flexitime
-Compressed Workweek
-Job Sharing
-Telecommuting

Ok thats the end of like 4 chapters, totally leaving out the Introduction, because simply I lost the notes and only MCQ will come out and I'm left with Controlling and I believe with all my faith Controlling will not come out at all. Except MCQ and I shall bomb my way through lah coz I'm bomber girl hahhaha! Oh, 4.23AM now. Okay at least I'm done within an hour. Sorry yáll had to read all this! Take it as learning something new lah. Ok bye! Sorry I used this space to write all this! Hahahhaa erm, ya bye. Imma sleep now.

Test test testing 1,2,3,4,5.

Okay hi humanoids! Long time no blogged I know. Hahaha I've been lazy. And writer's block came to my house, so I invited him to sit down inside and asked if he would like coffee or tea. He said tea. So I brewed some tea, and gave him. We chatted all the way you know. About everything in life. It went on and on for days, and finally, when we were all drained and zombie-fied, he wanted to go back home to sleep afew days, before visiting some other people. So we bade farewell and byebye writer's block! Then I felt like blogging again, but didn't know what to blog about. I went to the secret underground laboratory (yes, I do have one) ... Okay now you don't believe me do you? You know in my laptop, there is this secret folder named "Lab Access" so all I have to do to go into my secret lab is to open the folder and voila! A square in the floor will sink down and slowly revealing a flight of long stairs. Ya lah I not enough money build lift. Inside my lab, Purple lights are shining everywhere as you walk down. It takes 5mins to get all the way down.

Okay that's not the main point lah. The main point is inside this laboratory, in some secluded corner, lies a cage with pink frills. I took the key (worn around my neck) and opened the cage. *Crick* In it lies a cute little bug of 3cm. It's red in colour with little black dots on its red shell. I know this sounds famillar right? I somehow think I saw such a bug before. Hmm... Oh anyway, that bug is a special bug, when in a dangerous situation, it will emit smelly yellow liquid to scare the enemy off. But of course my bug, didn't do that to me coz Joyce is no enemy but a friend and I trained her since she was a baby lah! Her name is Blogging Bug. And I wanted to ask her for help. Well you know actually all these stuff I blog isn't my own idea lah but Blogging Bug's idea. And so without her help, I won't be able to blog coz I'm really some monkey sent down from NASA but in a human shell. You know like the show Meet Dave? Where like many little humans are controlling the outer human shell? Okay it's something like that but that I'm a little monkey in a human shell. It's really easy to control! Only afew buttons lah like the 4 limbs. And there is no directory in this stupid machine, that's why I always have to end up asking for directions or getting lost. Okok I digressed too much. Hahahaha

As I was saying, I was looking for the Blogging Bug for help right? Yea then as I was feeding her some yummy leaves (to make her happy so that she is more willing to help me) my human mum, shouted from upstairs. And her piercing scream could reach anywhere, even downstairs. "Time for DINNER!!!!" And that moment, I turned around. Oh crap. I forgot to close the secret passageway door! And my Blogging Bug only knows me and no one else. Therefore when she heard other noises, she got a shock of her life. And as I didn't train her to fly, (hiak hiak hiak I did it on purpose) she quickly ran out from her cage and chiong off very fast. Then I too, was in a panic mode. AHHH!! Come back my darling!! And it ran away and I couldn't find it in the lab! So I quickly rushed up, coz no choice cannot let my mum know I got a secret lab and closed the secret passageway and went for dinner. At the back of my mind, I was worrying for my Blogging Bug. I tried to sneak off in the middle of the night to look for it but to no avail. School went on as per normal, with me not being able to find my Blogging Bug. And one day, as I came home, at the garden near my house, I saw a group of red bugs with black dots on their body! I knew Blogging Bug must be there somewhere. Then there I saw her, (OMGOSH YAY!) and it's easy to recognise her among the other bugs because I specially put a purple ribbon bow on her so where she run I can find hehehe I know I'm smart right? Yea and she saw me too! The moment where our eyes met. And I could hear from the inside of her, calling me Mama and me rushing out to my baby. We both ran towards each other, hugged, kissed and cried. Blogging Bug said write this story and everyone will read. And so I did. Haha my baby is now back home (in the cage) sweet and sound. Hehe. K will blog again after my tests guys! 1,2,3,4,5. Yea I have 5 tests can!

Love,
Joycey Joyce and Blogging Bug

Sleep well. Forever now.

I don't know if I shoud write this out lah. Coz this is really a very personal thingy in my life. And it just happened. Like 30 November 2010. But I really need to let this outta my chest.

My Aunty, Mum's sister, couldn't move her whole body last night. That was what my Grandma told Mummy through the phone. They were planning to call the ambulance in the morning. Around 6AM, Yi Ma had no more breath. Then they hurriedly called the ambulance up. In the ambulance, the medics managed to revive and retrieve her pulse back. When she reached the hospital, she lost it again. So yea, my Yi Ma is no longer around as of 30 November. And it really came across as a shock when I received the SMS from Mummy around 10AM. How can someone, only 50+, pass away just like that? It's a bit hard to type this post. Halfway through, I got emotional and started crying. Because it finally strucked me. Like in the afternoon, I was still okay. But now, as I'm sitting in the living room alone, I finally have time to think and realise that today is really an eventful day. So many things happening today. My Aunt's death, my public speaking speech, supposed to have captain's ball, then I had Smile A Wish Main Comm meeting. Everything kept me busy that I didn't have time to process what really happened.

I sat down, just chatting with friends in MSN, and I realised. Yea, Yi Ma is really gone. Mum told me she was over there, being unable to move, sweating profusely and even peed on herself. It's like my Grandma was there. Imagine you over there, seeing your daughter unable to move, and all you could do is like practically nothing? She just cleaned my Yi Ma up and monitored her all the way to morning at 6AM. When she went breathless. Then they called up the ambulance. Your daughter, passing off before you and there is nothing you can do.

Life is really fragile. It's like so easy, a life can be taken away. Just one day, she is still fine, and the next day, gone like that. I guess no one in school could tell anything happened to my family. I guess I always put on a strong front. And only when I'm alone, then I let my emotions go. If only I worked a bit harder to reach out to her. Then she will at least get saved before she pass on. When I go to heaven one day, I will look around and see my family, but no Yi Ma. Coz I didn't work hard enough. If only I talked to her more and made her feel more comfortable and happy. Right now, everything can only be "if only" because there is nothing I can do now. Except to pay my respects at the wake. I'm afraid I would cry, when I see her face in the photoframe and in the glass coffin. Really, only when people go and leave you, then you will truly regret and wished you treated them much better. Right now, I guess I just wanna love my family even more and treasure them more, before they pass on so that there will be lesser regrets in my life. Anyone who is reading this, please go love your family more. Before you say "I regret".

P.S: I don't even have a solo picture I have with her. Except my baby pics.

Great People.

Everyone knows about Titanic sinking. But who knows certain people in the ship, who were so great and selfless that they gave up their lives to save others? Yea, now I wanna tell you all about this great man. Whose name is John Harper. John Harper was a Christian since 13 and he started preaching when he was 17. That is my age lah means like example I would be preaching now. And his church is like 500 people, which is considered many in that time. I think that is very impressive already lah. Imagine Joyce Goh, preaching and having a church of 500 strong. Thats awesomesauce. Hahaha oh yea and John Harper had a wife and a daughter. His wife died very early, leaving his daughter and him. He and his daughter went on Titanic to sail the ocean blue. The people thought they build a ship that no water could go through. But the God almighty hands said the ship will never land, it was sad when the big ship went down. Okay it's a camp song. But so suit the mood now right? I mean same topic what. Then that very fateful day, the Titanic, which was known to be unsinkable, hit an iceberg and it started to go down down down.

When more water came in, people started getting the lifeboats. But many people refused to leave the Titanic, because they thought it would be safer staying in the ship than sitting in a tiny boat in the middle of nowhere. They also paid a lot of money to get on board and like you know if you stay in some suite in a 5 star hotel, maybe got terrorist attack you also think you will be safe? So they refused to leave. At that moment, John Harper put his 6 year old daughter (fondly called Nana) on to the life boat that was around. He could have gotten onto the boat easily, as many people didn't want to get on board. But he kissed his daughter on her forehead, and told her, "Sweetie, I need to stay here. But I will see you again some day." Then their boat went off. And he remained there, determined to get people saved to come to know Jesus before they die, so that they can go to heaven. So he went around, asking people if they are Christians and if they are willing to accept Jesus, so that they can go to heaven. Even as the boat sank, and like 1000 over people were stranded in the middle of nowhere, some even without life jackets, he was busy swimming around and trying to get people saved. So that they will die and go to heaven.

There was this particular stubborn guy, who refused to be saved and rather stay there hanging onto this debris. John Harper asked if he would like to accept Christ and he said no and so John Harper took off his life jacket and handed it to him, telling him he would need it more than he does coz when John Harper dies, he knows he will go to heaven but the guy is not saved so he won't. Therefore he threw his jacket there with the guy and went off to another person. And he came back to the guy and the guy accepted Jesus into his life. Then only ONE single life boat No. 4 came back to save the people, saving 6 people before leaving. And the guy whom John Harper gave his life jacket to went on the boat, and therefore saved his own life. Thus he was telling his story to everyone and he really teared because he never met such a man before.

I am also very touched by how this man is so selfless that he puts others really before him, even willing to sacrifice his own life. How many of us can do that? Man are all selfish by nature, like how the boats could fit 65 people, but one of the boat only had 12 people in it and they left off. All beacause the people in the boat were panicking and all they cared was for their dear lives. If you ask me now, like if me and my friend were to be kidnapped in a room, and the kidnapper said he will only release one of us, I really don't know what will happen. It's really a big sacrifice when you actually give up your life to save someone else's and I really admire John Harper for his courage and bravery and selfless love for people. I wanna be someone like that in the future, where I will think about people before thinking about what benefits me the most. To learn to put myself in other people's shoes more. :D hehehe now I sound like some cheem knowlegable person right? K ciao!

With love,
Joyce



John Harper and his daughter Nana.

Grandmother’s 70th Birthday Celebratory Speech

Today, we all gather here to celebrate the grand 70th birthday of Tan Mui Hua, my Grandmother. Overall, in her 70 years so far, her life had been eventful and surely, there were tears of pain but also tears of joy. Today, I would be telling everyone about how my Grandmother has touched me and really been a role model to me. She really loved me with all her heart and nurtured me into the Joyce of today. I would like to tell everyone how she cared for me while growing up, how she has been a role model and also my words of appreciation to thank her for all that she has done for me and to wish her a very happy birthday.

My grandmother has been a part of my life, caring for me since I was just a little baby. My elder sister and I would be cared for by her. Although we have a maid, but the bond between our grandmother is much stronger because there is blood ties connected to it. I remember how she would stay over in our house during certain weekends, in the room that we saved for her. There would be a double-decker queen sized bed in the room that was affectionately called “Ah Mah’s room”. My elder sister and I (being small sized at that age) were able to squeeze and all sleep together with our dear grandmother. That was how close we were. I remembered once I wetted the bed while sleeping with her when I was about 6 years-old. She did not reprimand me, but instead got up and woke me up to get me washed up and changed the sheets of the bed so that we could go back to sleep. Just the little things that she does for me really let me feel the love she has for me.

I also remember when I visit her at her house, I would shout out her name, calling for her. And from the kitchen, she would spring out and go, “Hey!” followed by a big warm hug. As I had a sinus problem since young, she would turn the fan away from me but oscillate it around so that I would not feel warm, but will still be able to feel the wind and not get a runny nose. I used to stay over at her house a lot when I was younger and as usual, I would sleep with her. I can recall the memories where I would jump on her bed while she watched television on her chair, then when she got tired, she would put some Vicks in my nose to aid me in breathing during the night (due to my sinus problem I would have difficulty breathing) She would also pat me gently on my bottoms to sleep, and would only stop till I fell asleep. I would never forget the love and care she gave me while I was growing up from a young girl, into a teenager, slowly going into Polytechnic. All in all, I would like to say, Ah Mah, I love you forever. <3

Joke of the day.

Okay hi ya'll! I'm back in action. Haha. Oh ya just wanna share this few riddles with you all! The first one is told by my friend. What is the fastest key on the keyboard? Hahaha this is funny to me lah! But maybe not to you all. The answer is... F1! HEHEHE. I told my family and my mum went to tell her colleagues and they were like, "you laugh what, not even funny!" Hahaha my mum laughes at her own joke while no one around laughed. Haha. Don't you feel when adult tell jokes, only they laugh. But when kids or teens tell jokes, everyone laughs? I think adults are lamer than young people lah. :P Sorry mama! Ohh my second and third joke is created by me! Like I can just think of jokes and riddles on the spot. More of riddles lah. I like people to guess my lame answers. One way of making riddles is you think of the answer first. Okay like my riddle now. What is the best part of a crop? Hehehe the answer is... the cream of the crop! Hahaha get it??? Funny right! No? Okok how about this. What bar is the most alien? The answer is SPACEBAR!! Because space got aliens. Hahaha. I think it's funny lor. If you don't think its funny then maybe you live in space. That's why you aren't laughing coz you feel like I'm being Spacist(like racist/sexist but space/aliens) Hehehe.

Oh just wanna tell you all some happy thing today. My laptop, (which I have not given a name yet) which has no audio, now has audio again! I'm so happy and glad my friend is able to fix it. Now I can hear the deng deng deng! of the MSN sound. Haha. And if I webcam with friends, they would be able to hear me! :) And I can finally click on the link of the song and hear the song, instead of pretending I clicked and listened to the song and pretend to say very nice *insert fake smiley*. And I did my speech and I thought it was ok. Although my heart was beating rather fast and my legs were shaking and shivering. And I forgot a bit of the last part but I laughed and I went like, "Oh!" and continue to my point. Hahaha. And my ang moh teacher Miss Sarah who lived in India for many years laughed when I did my high and low pitched "Aha!/Aha..." which I think is a good thing because I am showing variations in pitch! Hehehe. And I wore my cute baby pink "Hello" shirt. Hehehe. Which means it's a very good day because I can say hello without opening my mouth to. Without waving my hands either. Just point at the words. Hahaha. Okay lah, here I am yabbering and my Biz Stats homework remains undone. Perhaps I should wake up at 8AM in the morning again to do my homework because I won't be able to get it done if I were to do it later as I don't know where is my calculator that my younger sister Maygoh( Goh is our surname, but I like calling her Maygoh and not May) took and she is already having holidays but she is still lazy to pass it to me!! Argh. I shall go slaughter and slash her someday. Then some gang will recruit me because I know how to slash people also. Hahaha JOKE AH! Don't slash me! T.T K lah tata all! Teehee!

LERVE,

Joyful
Original
Young
Cute
Energetic

P.S: Does my little cousin look like me? Haha.

P.S.S: Do I give off a bad vibe? Like make people think I want guys to like me or something. Please don't like me! TYVM.

P.S.S: Gang slashing mentioned here has no deliberate intent to be linked to anything and so anything that sounds similar is coincidental and not done on purpose.

R.I.P

WARNING! WHOEVER SCROLLED IN HERE PLEASE BE WARNED ALREADY THAT I TOLD YOU THIS IS AN EMO POST SO IF YOU DON'T WANNA CRY, I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE RIGHT NOW. OK BYEBYE LEAVERS. AND THOSE WHO REMAIN, ERM, GOOD LUCK TO YOU. MUAHHAHAHA. OH I MEAN SOB SOBS.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Okay firstly, I would like to say that my poor dolphin toy (name is Dolquin. Don't laugh at the name. Thanks) has a hole on her body. T.T How sad is that? My poor baby who smells so good (although my mama will bed to differ) is injured. I think someone shot her. :( This mummy here is sad lah! My poor baby kena injured! Nooooo! Okay then my Mozilla Firefox got problem. WHY!!?? I pressed "Restart Firefox" but also nothing happened. Idiot! Grrrr.. But something good happened lah. I finally uninstalled the annoying Norton that always pops up saying subscription expired and all that. Very annoying everytime I also press "Remind me 3 days later." Oh yeah, I just download AVG. Too bad Norton! Hohoho!

Then another thing is that I have my BA tutorial screaming at me. Sitting there on the table. Shouting at me to go do my homework. Noooo! Walao I holiday too long I really no mood to do homework already lah. Yesterday do Microeconomics I already wanna die. :( Hais. I hate homework. I wish my holidays restart again!) Hahaha then I can go do something productive. Hey, actually I've been going out during the holidays alot! Like almost everyday lah! Maybe I should have gone to work lah. Then I would feel that I spent my holidays productively. Hahaha.

Anyway right, the saddest thing of all, is that I've gained.... 1KG! AHHHH!!! That's a sad thing. Coz I've been 43 since like the start of this year and now I'm like suddenly 44. I ate alot lah these few days. I'm permenantly 44kg already because I took my weight yesterday and I was 44kg and today I took it again just now. I was 44.2kg. :( I think my worms disappeared! That's why I'm starting to gain weight. Maybe one day I passed out my worm lah. Or maybe last time I had Lulu and Sally but now I think Lulu is dead. Hence the blog post name! Because one of my wormies died. RIP worm! My younger sister is 47. She just told me. And thus I am the lightest at home. Should I be happy or sad? That I'm the lightest and that I've gained weight.

I think many people are like, "oh, she blogged already ah?" then come flocking to this space and check it out and was hoping I continue the story. But HAHAHHAA too bad coz I didn't! Coz I didn't feel like continuing the story. Should I even let you all know the second half of the story? Hahaha WHY SHOULD I!? Okay lah I see first. Blogging is see mood one. Some days you feel like blogging, some days you just wanna slack. And you don't have blogging inspiration and ideas on what to blog about. Hahaha. Ok lah that's all of my really emo post. You all cried right? Yea I know. I saw that little tear hiding behind your eyeballs. Okay, maybe you aren't crying. Bah! Never mind! K tata!

Wo ai ni,(as friends only lah)
Joyce

P.S: The girl beside me is my good Poly classmate. Her name is Lyn Lim. I know very pretty lah! If interested to make friend, just add in www.facebook.com but don't ask her for steady or what. She is taken!! Hahaha

Non-fiction.

The form teacher put the good girl and the bad boy to be seated in class together at the middle of the year.

" Sian lah, why must sit with her? " He muttered.

" You think I want to sit with you meh? I hate my seat lah!" She retorted.

They couldn't stand each other. Well, both of them were equally talkative. The girl, J, was seen to be cheerful and mad. Her everyday school life seems to be so fun. Everyone wanted to know her sort of secret, but she didn't know either. The guy, J, plays basketball a lot. Everyday after school, he and his friends would have lunch then go to the nearby basketball court to play all the way till night falls. Their holidays would be spent on going to the LAN shop everyday without fail and spend at least $10 on LAN gaming. Typical Secondary 2 guys. The girl always thought that he was the typical bad boy, gang outside of school, skips classes, bad results, frequent fights with people. That was her impression of him. Other than that, she knew nothing much about him.

She just had a great best friend, C, who is as playful and as mischievious as her. Well, both her and her best friend were childish in the eyes of everyone around them. They just enjoyed each other's company so much. Everyday would be full of laughter and playing pranks on people, cracking jokes. They were so close they even held hands and that was alright.

One of their classmates Q, liked that girl. The whole class knew. Even her. Although she never told Q that she knew all along. They talked all night in MSN, and would say bye and sign off when it's 11pm or so. She used to sleep so early, and wake up early to take the bus to school. Sometimes, her dad would send her to school. But he frequently went overseas, so she and her sister would take the bus to school together. Since their schools were right beside each other's. She wondered why he never got around to asking her for a relationship. When you are at that age, you just want to experience everything you can. And that was a new experience. That would be her first. But he never asked.

The guy and the girl got closer, since they were made to sit together. They would be squabbling all day. When it's time to pass down the handouts, she would intercept and not let him have a piece and quickly pass the stack down. Then he would snatch her paper away, and she would raise her hands and complain to the teacher. That kind of thing will happen regularly. Bickering was a norm everyday. But to her, that was fun. It trained her debating skills and she thought she was like a lawyer, fighting for her rights. If she won, she would feel good and she liked that. They started getting to know each other more and she found out he had this girlfriend. They were together when in Primary 6 but then they recently saw each other again and decided to patch. But afew months later, they broke up and he was feeling rather down in class, not talking much but prefering to sleep leaning to the wall (as he sat beside the wall). She couldn't care much, she really wasn't interested in him. Moreover, the Q thing was still going on. She wasn't said to be very pretty. She didn't have nice fringe and nice hair and was never conidered pretty amongst the classmates. In December that year, she told a bold step and went to get her fringe cut. She loved it. She thought she never looked better.

During the holidays, J went to school to buy books while the girl was having her Dance CCA on. During her break time, she went to the canteen, and there was when they met again.

"Hi! Long time no see ah!" The girl shouted delightedly as she waved her hands.(They were already pretty good friends at this moment)

He was surprised to see her. His eyes lit up as she smiled and they chatted. Then they bade farewell as her break ended and she had to go back. And he needed to buy his textbooks. That night, she went online (as usual) and he clicked on her name and chatted with her. They started talking and this went on for afew days. She teased him about his ex and asked if he still liked her. He said no. He liked someone in the class. She was excited to know who it was. So she kept asking questions and started guessing names of the girls in class. Chinese girls obviously. She started out with the girls he was closer to. "Nope, no lah. Haha no!" These were all the replies he sent. There were no more females left and he already said not the Malay girls. She started to get worried. Her heart pounded fast. Only her name was left. Then, her computer disconnected. Okay.. So she just shut the computer and went to bed. Since it was already 10/11pm. Then, she received a text.

"It's you lah."

To be continued...

Weeve lurve,
Joyce

P.S: Too tired to write already lah. Next time I continue. Hahaha.

P.S.S: Names with only the initials so that the characters are left confidential. Hahahaha.

The past week.

Hey! How are you guys doing? Hahaha. I've started school and so far still enjoying it! Hahaha I ate prawn mee in Mensa 1 today. Miss miss the prawn mee! Hahaha. Mensa 1 is cheap lah! Everyone should eat in Mensa 1 instead of 2! Salad bar business always soo good lah! Prawn mee is $2.20 only everyone! Come to TP to eat! Vietnamese food is not bad in Mensa 1 too. Hahaha. I somehow miss school. :) Miss going for classes with friends, having lunch with them. Our class is somehow in cliques now. Like if you say class outing, don't know how many people will come. Most likely the people in our clique only. We aren't as bonded as like start of school you know. Start of school, coz we don't know anyone, we will just hang out together to have lunch. All as a class. But now, this person that person go find bf/gf, then all the cliques split up to have lunch. Which is quite sad. :( Boooooo! I say boo when it's something unhappy or when I'm trying to scare you. Haha.

Anyway, I think now my hands is quite lady-like and girly. Because all my nails are quite long, except for my 2 thumbs which I will hide and not show anyone coz they're ugly! Oh ya weird but true, my right thumb is longer than my left thumb by like, 1cm. Hahhaha and it's damn weird lah. I'm quite weird at times. But the rest of my fingers are all the same length. Ok lah I don't know what to blog anymore. I'm like so high now. Maybe coz I slept for 15hours yesterday. Hahahhaha I know I'm a super sleeper! Hahhaha. Ok bye!

Joycey kisses,
Joyce

P.S: I'm so fair at the start of the year lah!

Nonsense.

Afew days back right, I just randomly woke up early lah. Before my alarm rang. Like when I was supposed to wake up at 12 I woke up at 9.40. Then I, in my semi-conscious state (even my eyes are like barely opened) called my friend up. Like I randomly just pressed "Phone" on my iPhone and go to the recent calls, then scroll down down down to this friend's name and I called my friend. Then I closed my eyes again. Then when I woke up, my friend picked up his phone already. So I answerwed the call. The conversation went something like this.

Me: Hello?
C: Hello?
Me: Err..
C: Why you call me?
Me: Actually I don't know.
C: Huh?
Me: Ya! I don't know why I called you. I just did it in my subconscious mind. I don't even know why I called you of all people.
C: Huh?! Oh ok...
Me: Hahaha actually I still very tired. I go back to sleep already. Bye.
C: Oh okay bye.

Then I went back to sleep. Then my friend also went back to sleep for awhile. Then he woke up realising he has Karate today. And before he answered my call, he woke up for a bit to switch off his alarm and went back to sleep. Then he didn't know how come and why he was holding his phone in his hand and still can press accept call when he was also like only half awake. This is super weird lah. I don't know what happened. Hahaha but anyway I helped wake my friend up so he could go chiong down for his Karate. Oh this happened like on Saturday. My friend says it's because I think too much about him. Whatever lah. But I was still sleepy and couldn't think properly. I really don't know what came over me and I just scroll down down to his name and press. O.O Hahaha really random and nonsense. But yeah. I think this is God lor. He got me to wake my friend up so that my friend won't miss his Karate training! Hahaha.

Anyway the guy replied my email! The one who asked me to help model. Hahaha excited leh. Like I'm slowly really becoming a model somehow! Hahaha but if they ask me to pay for portfolio if they really wanna keep me then I will say no. But I don't know how in the world I can be a model also. Since I'm like only 162cm. Maybe I looked tall that day. Because I was wearing my wedges which is like 5cm which makes me 167cm and everyone is fooled by it and thinks I'm so tall. Even my friends think I look tall when I wear the wedges. Nooo! What if I take them off then they don't want me anymore because I would be short!?! Nooooo! Hahaha aiya leave everything to God lah. What is destined for us will come to us no matter what happens right? Ah yea, I'm Christian. Hahaha but I'm not trying to spread my values and my religion. It's just that some things cannot be explained so it must be God lor. Hahaha ok my school is like today! Since today is Monday already! Ahhh!! Hahaha I better go sleep now. Bye! Don't miss me guys! Hahaha.

With love,
Joyce

P.S: I removed my nail polish. It lasted like about a week only. My manicure always last one week then I will hagve the urge to scratch it off. Then when left with like one or two fingers on each hand, then I just remove using the nail polish remover. Hahaha. Keeps me from peeling my fingernails, which is a bad habit and when my friends say like, "why your nails like that!?!" Then I will be very shy and paiseh and embarassed and guilty and hide my thumb(normally peel my thumb) and say I will stop. And I just peeled off my nail for my left thumb. :( I will change k! I am repenting now! :( Sorry nail. I know I am evil.

P.S.S: I have a new baby mole on my right thumb. Congratulations to a newborn baby! Anyway his name is Timothy. Hahaha I like to name my stuff. Hehehe.

P.S.S: Corinne say I remind her of this Korean actress. You think? Alot people think I look like someone Korean! I think I just look Korean lah. Hahaha.

HAZE!!!

Riddle for you. What did Cloud A say to Cloud Z? Answer is "Hey Z!" Hahahaha get it? Hazy? Aiya, why nobody laugh one. No fun! I told my friends just now too but no one laughed. Qixiang even said he trying to laugh but quite hard to force a smile. Idiot one! Hahahaha nvm I think good can liao. Haze is evil lah. It's making this poor girl here unable to recover from her cough cough thus cannot sing song! :( BOO! Eh, I'm quite tired leh. Maybe it's the haze fault too! It makes my eyes dry. So I wanna close eyes. And also the haze causing my friends to have throat irritation and sore throat. Poor us. :( It's either you stupid haze improve, or make it so bad that we will have no school on Monday. Hehehhee then good! I ain't looking forward to school leh. :( My holidays are ending soon. Nooooooo! Now that they are kinda going to be over soon, I feel like the holidays are so short lah! While at the start of the holidays I was like, "woah long holiday shiok!!" But now it's ending! I haven played enough! Holiday I keep going out lah but not a lot is to play lor. I also don't know whole holiday what I doing lah. Sometimes I have good memory, sometimes bad. I don't know why. I'm just quite weird lah sometimes.

I think I am damn pro because I'm typing this in the dark. Which means my typing skills very good. Hehehe. Because I don't have to see the keyboard also can type. You know my eyes is perfect eyesight? Even if I read in the dark or use laptop in the dark, or read books in dim light or bad posture very near my eyes, my eyesight still 6/6P? Hehehhee I'm just so lucky I guess. I also eat and eat and eat also never gain weight. This morning I was like almost going to 42 leh. It was like 43.0 kg. The brink of dropping! So I faster go eat. Everybody says I'm skinny. But I don't think I'm THAT skinny what. I'm just not big sized. Err maybe ABIT petite only. NOT DAMN SKINNY OK! Okay lah I lazy to blog already. I'm feeling hungry. Hais. I'm always feeling hungry. Hahaha. Anyway the photoshoot is done and overall, more satisfied with the pics than of previous collection! Actually both is okay lah.

K bye!

P.S: I can't put photo coz apparently blogger will be under maintenance today.[EDIT: PHOTO UP!]

P.S.S: Yay! Photoshoot done. Satisfied with a few photos. Wanna see some then go Facebook and type "Joyce Goh" at the Search there. Then click "photos". Hahaha

Noo, Wrong!

You know I can't stand it sometimes! My friends like to say photographer as photo-grapher and I always correct them and say "phe-tor-grer-pher!" And then they will say never mind. It's important to say your words right what. If not you'll just sound uneducated. You know sometimes people like to say like, "I wanna eat maggie mee!" It's supposed to be instant noodles but everyone says maggie lah. And the brand is Maggi also, not Maggie. Sometimes brands are just so famous that people use it to represent certain products. Another example is like Pampers means diapers. It's diapers lah! Got alot of different brands! Pampers is one of the brands. Mummy says I used to use Pampers when I was a baby. Hehehe.

Later having photoshoot! Egggcited! Hahaha because it's always so fun. And I hope I look nice in pictures tomorrow. Hehe. Anyway I don't know what hairstyle to do lah. maybe im going to tie side, then tease my hair. Make pong pong hair! Haha. Coz all the girls are going to curl their hair, which makes it so boring, all same hair! So me and Corinne wanna change. Don't want same as everyone. Oh btw I was talking to my friend about my worms ( I don't wanna go doctor check, later really have) and I already have a name for them! Hahaha a cool name some more. Sally. Hahahha! And if I have another one, it's gonna be called Lulu. Hohohoh. I'm so creative. Ok lah I gotta sleep soon! Hahaha nights! Ohh morning I mean. It's like 3.52AM as I type this. Hahaha yea, thanks to holidays, my body clock is messed up. Booo!

Bye bye and don't miss me,
Joyce

P.S: My friend's blog shop link is http://blissblush.livejournal.com !! Please go support k ladies! And guys, if you wanna see pretty girls, go check out. Hehehe

P.S.S: I think I suddenly got dimples liao! Haha so cool!

I want food now.

Welcome back to my humble abode. Hehe. Oh, I'm hungry again. Although I just ate instant noodles that I cooked. You know I told you I'm a great cook right? Hahaha I think my instant noodles are like out of this world man! Hahaha coz I added the normal Chicken seasoning to my Koka noodles, then I added some of the Tom yum seasoning (half packet), then I dug into the sauce compartment and put sesame oil and I added some XO Dried Scallop sauce which is already yummy on its own! It's like saltish with the scallop bits which is so nice to eat lah. Then lastly, I added one egg and stir like mad so all the soup is like eggy and whatever nonsense goodness! Hehehe and woah! The bomb man! I think I can be a cook next time. Although I don't want to lah. I don't wanna stand infront of the fire and sweat and have to taste all the food and ensure everything is perfect for everyone. Oh ya and I finished my noodles already! Like in 15 minutes! Maybe partly is because it's so nice lah but also coz that's my dinner and now you can tell how hungry I must be right? Poor me. I came home expecting dinner and my mum told me as I stepped into the house, "no dinner for you. Ownself go buy." I was like HUH? WHY!! I thought coz I came home late but all of them didn't have dinner coz they didn't feel like eating. o.o

But I'm still hungry you know! I need more food! And people always tell me to eat more coz I'm so skinny. But I do eat! It's just that I eat slow, that's all! Haha but I'm still the same size (43kg) and I don't gain weight! But it's okay lah, I don't mind being 43. Hahaha I wanna be like 45kg when I'm an adult like 20+. :) As long as I'm not near 50 it's ok. Since I'm not very tall anyway. (162. Fine lah I'm quite short lah.) I was like telling Corinne that I'm still hungry and she say she think I have worms in my stomach. Eh, maybe leh! Since I'm like eating all the time and I don't gain weight and many people are jealous about that. Haha and Sheryl my classmate once said that I'm always eating. Hahaha all the time that she looks at me, I will be eating. I got eat so much meh! Well, even if I really do have worms, I'm not gonna remove them. If I do then I won't be able to eat as much as I like leh! Anyway I went to cook another pack of noodles and share with my sister. Hehee I'm so satisfied now! Okay bye! Gotta blast! Jimmy Neutron always says that! Hahaha.

Seeing you soon,
Joyce

P.S: There is this contest on Facebook that is looking for this Miss Photogenic. And one of my schoolmate/junior from my sec sch entered and she is going around like spamming the Facebook chat on everyone and copy paste ask everybody like her photo. And I go see the other girls, all not pretty one. Then I was like who is this girl ah, not bad leh (my junior) but I like never see her in school before. Then I go see other photos, and I was like.."Oh, her. So different. Photoshop wonders.." Maybe I should go join and get everyone to vote for me. Hehehe and get like 500 votes and be the winner. Hehe. But what photo to use? Haha

Ahhh so fun!

Hahahaha! Oh hi blog this is your best friend/master/lover/companion Joyce again! You know why so fun? Hahah coz it's the first time that I'm blogging straight from my iPhone! Say weeee! Hehe. So it's quite cool lah I type type type and my iPhone will correct my wrong spelling which is great coz I don't twit at all. Ii dunch talkk liike ass iif iim aa biimb0 yaa kn0ww? Ya so annoying right? It's okay if you cut short your words and say like "r u free ltr?" which is SMS language lah and it saves time. I love using u for short form and I use coz anytime anywhere unless I'm writing a formal letter to my boss or something. Or to my teacher lah. But if you talk like a twit you're prolly wasting more time texting when it's supposed to be Short Message Service! Or is this not what SMS stands for? Oh well, nvm lah but you know what SMS means right? Type short short and sweet then press send. Haha.

Anyway I totally dress differently today! I think I look matured but I think I still look nice. I know I look nice everyday lah but that's my cute style ma. I rarely dress maturely but I think not bad leh. Hehe. Ming Jian and Zhiyu praised me say I look pretty today. Hohoho. I don't know if I can upload pictures through here lah imma try later. (: see if it works. If yes then I think maybe I'll blog more via phone. Since, err, I err.. Take alot of pictures.. There. Happy now? I admit I'm zillian. I love myself alot I can understand why so many people love me. Hahahaah sometimes I also think I'm very cute I wanna pinch my own cheeks.

I think I'm very blessed to have a young face where people think I'm 15 years-old only. Haha. I take bus I can just tong 60cents (wearing home clothes) and the uncle let's me go pass! I think being young has alot of benefits lor. Like everything cheaper. Go zoo cheaper, Night Safari cheaper, Wild Wild Wet cheaper, Escape cheaper, got student meals, student price. It's great being a student! I love student meals lah! Although the food lesser (some places same amount just that it's cheaper) but Joyce doesn't eat so much. *Ahem* at least I'm not rolley polley size for eating and sleeping all day right? Despite my boring life, I'm surprised people still say they wanna live like me and be like me. O.O I think they think my life must be exciting since I'm so funny. But they don't know half the day is solely spent lying in bed. Hahaha. Anyway I'm tired already lah, so I'm gonna go orhorh already. Haha. Orhorh means sleep lah! Now, shh! Don't say I act cute/act baby! I'm naturally cute. Heehehehe!

Love,
Joyce

P.S: I love my nails now! They're so..pop! I don't know how to say but it looks so fresh and cute and fun. Like me. Hahahaha!
P.P.S: Aiya can't post picture! Never mind next time I edit and post picture! (THERE UPDATED!)

Joyce so GEE!

Gee gee gee gee baby baby baby~! Hahaha I'm a happy girl! I slept like 10pm yesterday coz I was freaking very tired and having flu. I worked all the way from 11.30am you know! And had to wake up at 9am but I woke up at 9.30. :P At least I wasn't late lah I was early! But I slept at 4-5am which made me super tired! Thank God I reached early at 11.10 (when I'm supposed to reach at 11.30. Aiya should have gone for quick breakfast lah! ) as the bus came directly just as I reached the bus stop and the train also came in like 2mins or something. Haha. And I woke up today at 3+pm. Which meant I slept for like, wait let me count. My maths not very good. I have to use my fingers. Hahaha. OMGOSH! I SLEPT SO LONG! 17 hrs thats a record man! Hahaha YAY I have a new record!

Anyway I felt sick like around afternoon time like 2+ coz you know when you lack sleep, you will suddenly get like flu or keep sneezing or whatever? Aiya if no to you then good for you lah. My eyes were like burning yesterday and really reddish in the morning. I knew they were tired. Poor eyes they had to work all the way till 2.30 (my break time at 2.30 ma) where I ate macs and went to sleep for like 30mins. And I immediately felt better after that. Hehe.

Oh ya I wanna tell you all about my job! When I was working yesterday right, I gave my flyer to this woman and she was like asking me if I was a student and work this one paid how much and how many hours. Then she ask if I wanna do for her company also, same pay and number of hours. Hehehe and she gave me her name card and I gave her my name and number and I will contact her soon! :D And her friend came over to find her and he was like asking me if I'm interested to help walk runway fashion show for the comnpany he is working with, where they are looking for models to walk runway for awhile lah. I think most prolly in some mall where they opening their new stall. How cool is that? Hahaha I'm quite excited coz this is quite cool. But I haven't go call the guy and the woman up yet coz I decided not to think about work today. Just relax lah! Hahaha okay I'm having my kampong chicken rice now, which is very yummers ok! Hahaha so I shall go eat while watching TV! Bye!

Love,
Joyce

I love many things, especially myself. :D

Hehehe I think I am multi-talented. Hehehe you think I am BHB right? But who cares. Haha I tell you! I can sing leh. Hehehe. Afew of my friends who heard me sing, said I sing nice leh. One of my friend said, "you are born to sing." Hahaha who said that to you before? Therefore I think my singing is nice as well. Hehe and if you wanna hear me sing you can jolly well get your butt to Temasek Poly (because that's where I'm studying) and look for this girl in Temasek Business School and you can request for her to sing to you, if you pay $1 lah that is. You think what? Free concert ah! Even watch show also must pay lor! $7.50 some more!

And I can cook and bake. Hehehe yea I think I can cook fairly well lor. Although I don't cook like fish and chicken, I cook like pasta and baked rice and me can make and roll nice sushi! Hehe and I also bake lah. Last year I baked chocolate chip muffins. This year I baked chocolate chip cookies and raisin cookies. In my opinion, they are yummers. :D Haha my grandma also passed down the Kaya Kueh recipe to me and Jiejie. My Ah Mah got the recipe from my Grandpa's mum. So my Great Grandmother lah, who I never met before. Haha. You know my Grandma is an amazing cook. She cooks so well and all her food is soo yummy. I love eating the Peranakan food she cooks! Especially the Pong Tauhu (Tauhu balls soup with bamboo shoots) and Chap Chye (mixed vegetables). You know Peranakan Chap Chye is different from the Chinese kind because Peranakan one got brown sauce. She also bakes! She bakes sugi and pineapple tarts every year for the whole family and it's so yummy I love my Ah Mah alot. Hehe.

Okay lah actually I have more things to say about myself. But I will tell you all another day. If not awesome overload then too many people will fall in love with me. HAHAHA! Okay lah kidding! Okie I go off now. Toodles Joycey! Hehe.

I love you Joycey,
muacks from Joyce

Loving the way you are.

Hi there! It's me again! Haha. Brace yourself because this post ain't a happy-till-it-makes-you-laugh post. Not that I am emo, I just wanna say what I feel inside. You know many people around me are going through break ups and all that low esteem thing. I wanna tell you all, that it's okay you know. When you break up with someone, it's just because you and the other person are incompatible and it's not all your fault.

A relationship is a two-way thing and it doesn't solely depend on one person. Maybe the girl likes someone else while being with you. It's also not entirely her fault I guess. You just didn't appeal enough to her or maybe she felt that the two of you aren't meant for each other actually and since she found someone better, you should be glad. I believe that everyone is like a puzzle piece. You cannot squeeze two pieces together what. Not only does it not fit, when you lift it up (with tribulations) it'll all fall down easily. One puzzle piece might seem like it fits with another, but it'll only work if u try and squeeze the puzzle and force it down. This is like changing yourself to suit the other person. I think this way, not only will the other party feel awkward (coz you're not being who you truly are), you yourself will also feel tired and sick of all these. You may love that person alot and do so much to change yourself, and at the end of the day, you find it pointless because you aren't who you are anymore. Friends also start leaving you, because you are not the friend that they knew and befriended before. So I believe you shouldn't change yourself for anyone, less you lose your self-identity.

Girls should learn to love themselves! Always think you are the prettiest/most gorgeous person in the world! :) Then you will feel better about yourself. Although you might not be, you might be fat, you might have pock-marked face and everything, but if your heart is beautiful, people you talk to will realise that you have something inside of you that makes you glow and shine beautifully. :D Don't look at ugly pictures of yourself and go, "That's me. I'm ugly." Girl, you gotta learn to turn it around and when you see nice pictures of yourself, then go "that's me!" Well, no one is a 10/10 beauty. At least be glad, you look like what you are, than be a super beauty and actually you're just hiding it by going for plastic surgery and all that. We have to be confident in the way we look. By being confident and feeling good about yourself, you will naturally be a happier and more cheery person. Rather than a person with low self-confidence and esteem. And your whole life is just to envy other people and wish you were them. Don't ever wish you were someone else, because you never know what other people might be going through that you're not. Learn to love how you look and live. :D

Alot of my friends like to laugh at fat people/ people of other colours. I think that's kinda sad. Racism is really a severe problem in Singapore. I mean like, everybody confirm know one racist joke. I know, they might sit on grass, might smell, might sing their songs aloud in the train/bus. But who are you to laugh at them? Who are you to say their race is to laugh at? And what's more, they didn't even laugh at us. They have more class, more poise and more elegance in my opinion. What if you were born into their culture and grew up like that? What if it was us who had to face the mockery? What if every where you go, people snigger behind your back? Would you like that? No, right? Of course no one likes to be made fun of every single day. I guess we all have to learn to respect one another and think of each other as equal and learn to get used to whatever Singapore has. Okay, I shall end abruptly because I have nothing more to say. Hahaha goodbye! And of course, ending with a pretty me. Hehehe.

P.S: I am not emo. I am just philosophical. :D

My Pad Phrase.

HAHAHA Did that heading make you feel awkward? Hahahhahaa. No lah kidding. I wanna talk about my pet phrase today. Actually I wanna talk about afew stuffs. Haha but I will start with pet phrases. You know how some people have pet phrases and when they say something, you will be like, that's so (WHOEVER)! Or sometimes you will have people mimicking you already because you say that alot. Like Corinne, she used to like saying ""qi si wo le!" (make me freaking angry!) Then with her high pitched tone also. Then we all in the class clique know how to follow already. Hahaha or Lynnie where she always says "so irritating!" Everything is irritating to her. Seriously. Especially me I think. Everything I do also, "Joyce!!! SO IRRITATING!!" Hahaha I also know how to follow already. Stars or famous people have famous quotes and phrases like our local artise Henry Thia (AKA Hui Ge/Lion King/Alamak) always goes Alamak. And I was wondering what is my pet phrase? So I put it as my MSN personal message and my friend Jianglong replied to it and said I do have a pet phrase too! And he said my pet phrase is Haha. That's true leh I think! Hahahhaa coz I'm always Haha-ing randomly like in MSN after each line I say I will haha one time. Or have like a longer one like hahahaha. I like to spam hahas! Hahhaha. Yea so I think my pet phrase is haha, although that can be anyone's pet phrase too.. Now I'm not very happy about knowing my pet phrase! Coz anyone and everyone hahas! :( Guess I have to find another one that is more impressive than this.

Oh btw, I feel pretty today! You know some days when you wake up and you feel you look good and some days when you wake up and you just feel ugly that day? Or is it just me? And when you take pictures, you will look like XXX and you don't wanna take pictures anymore that day coz its Ugly Day which equals to Bad Camera Day. Hahaha I like making my own Days in the calender. Like Ramen Day, Library Day and Supper Day which is random depending on what outing would be that day. And there is a name for everyday even today, and today is Slacking Day. :D Hahaha actually I feel pretty when I have a slight sunburn coz my cheeks will be pinkish. I don't like my nose to be lah but never mind, as long as my cheeks are. Hehe. I don't like being too burnt coz my whole body will hurt! Like that day when I went to the Marina Barrage. Siao one I so burnt.. Like a red mango or something. I should have like directly went into the shop and demand I advertise for them and get paid. "Oh hi, I'm a Redmango. Please try! It's sooo yummy yoghurt goodness you won't regret." Hahaha sure got people go buy lah! Too bad they missed the chance coz I'm not so red anymore. I realise I get sunburnt very easily. I merely went to East Coast Park to cycle and my thighs also abit reddish yesterday but it's better already. My face also better than yesterday lah. And I had a stayover at Church yesterday. Nice. :D And I woke up at 9am, sleeping only for 4hours. How awesome am I man. Then after lunch, I went home to sleep. Hehe. And slept even though it was noisy as there was construction going on for the lift upgrading. But I still managed to sleep. Yea Joyce likes sleeping. Alot. But it's been a long time since I slept for 12hours leh. I'm gonna do that later. Heee.

I borrowed like four books from the library that day and I haven't started reading any of them yet. So imma dedicate the whole of next week to staying home and reading my storybooks. Or if people wanna go out with me, I would be like ignoring and eat and read my book. And ignore that person totally. Haha. When I do something, I would be totally engrossed to care about other things. I can't really multi task. Afterall I'm 60% male and 40% female. I don't really have a female side leh. I bathe 10mins done. Hahaha maybe the female-ish thing is that I like going out shopping and taking photos? Hahaha coz I'm just so pretty what. Nah kidding. Haha. K lah stop bragging about myself. I love you,(whoever is reading this)! Hahhaa say a loud "Awwwww!" now! Hahahaha. I'm giving my bloggie a name. The name is Joycey.
Bye Joycey!

With love,
Joyce

Hi. My name is Random.

Oh hi Earthlings! It's me again! I think I don't even have to bother saying hi because afterall, it's my blog and obviously I would be the one blogging here. Hahaha. Anyway, just felt like blogging about my whole day out today. I slept at 7am lah and I was freaking tired. So I ended up going to prepare at 1.30 and left the house at 2pm, when I was SUPPOSED to reach by 2pm. Hehe. Oops! Then I had to be taught a lesson by my friend. Thus, I'm having a black eye now. Nah, I'm kidding.

Then afterwards I went to meet my dear friend, who came at 4 when we were supposed to meet like 3. All my friends are like me I guess.. But I will start to change! Yes I can! Since Bob the Builder can too! So can I! And I can do alot of things too. Like paint my nails, cut my own fringe ( hair I don't dare!) err bake, cook, clean, sing, dance, act and make funny faces! Hahaha ohh I show you all my nails!



Nice?! Hehehe I ownself do one leh! Faster ask me to help you! I am very willing. :D For free also! Come now cheapo people! Oh and I first time walk Fort Canning Park today late in the night. Honestly, I was a little scared coz I read Russell Lee's ghost stories when I was a young girl and I still remember Fort Canning got ghost one! Some more I got perfect eyesight! I mean like 6/6P! Got P some more so don't play play hor! Yea, so if I see something, it wouldn't be like blur blur. I would wish it was blur lah! But for me, it would be like Hi-defination 3D! :S AHHH!!! But, thank God lah I didn't see anything. Phew.

Oh btw I like have this camp tomorrow. And I haven't packed my stuff yet. Gotta go sleep and wake up at like 8am! :( Poor me. I'm really busy for the whole week. All in the end last min all got plans one. I think next week I really free also reject everything, have my HOLIDAY. Like nua at home. Which I haven't done so. I really like everyday go out lah! K tata humanoids! Imma go sleep. Lastly, thanks for reading this little 10MB taken up on the internet space. I mean really! People are actually reading what me writes here. Which is pretty coolios! Haha. K bye!

Thank you for shopping with us.
We hope to see you soon.
Best Regards,
Joyce
