I KNEW it was a bad idea to keep me staring at a computer screen all day. Look what we have here now.

fuyowhhh

Your Passion is Purple!

You've got a ton of passion, but you don't always wear it on your sleeve. If something truly excites you, you let your inner intensity shine through. But otherwise, your passion tends to morph into energy ... which you never lack. You're a balanced woman, knowing when to turn on the fire in your heart.

What Color is Your Passion?

WHAT.

You Are 24% Girly

You are a pretty hardcore tomboy, and a very free spirit. Gender roles be dammed, you like to do things your way.

How Girly Are You?

I don't like air-conditioning that does anything but condition the air.
I want natural cold weather. I want natural cold weather. I want natural cold weather.
*clicks heels three times and turns*

Thought of the Day :
What if it's not enough being a songwriter/producer?
What if I'm unsatisfied with results and end up wanting to do-it-myself-thank-you? Would that be wrong?

Oh heartache.

I dunno when this happened.

Maybe I travel too much with it.

' Tis very very sad.

Mention of the Day:
I really hate it when people sweep around me when I'm eating. Do NOT sweep around me. Ok thank you goodnite.

A political article (rhyme intended)

I've been learning/studying/eating/sleeping/breathing issues of society this past month. Reading up on different subjects from censorship to copyrights to song publishing and royalties. It's been quite quite hectic. But I've learned a lot, no doubt. Take the fact that the government needs a better media representative to inform us of their decisions, for example.

I've also learned some practical things. Like how the media can be used to influence the public opinion. And how the English language can be used to win over or deter. And how these days we the people are trying much harder to get our points of view across to the government, to the church, to the leader, to the mother, to the child, and anyone-else-I've-left-out-whether-intentionally-or-absentmindedly.

And then, of course, there's the response that we get after voicing out from the aforesaid parties. We all take things in differently. For example, let's say I titled this post "I like the Oois.", and inserted a picture like this one :
...and ended the post just like that. Without having said much, I "the media" can rest assured that many will have their views and opinions on the subject and some will voice it out.

Which brings me to the next point : We all have the right to have our say in matters. That's not to say that our point of view is significant or relevant, of course, it's all subjective. *oh-so-intellectual face* Anyway, in a quick conclusion due to time constraints of the writer, it is with much relief that she says, " I'm learning. I'm happy. It's all good." mUuah.

how now?

i like her.
but it kinda sucked for me to discover this.
hurts tasha's ego. hahah
note: her shades!! lol

Breakthru2 '06 Dance

This dance, choreographed by Eunice,me,Darren,Sidney, was done in less than a week. The two sections weren't even practiced together until the last practice we had. So I'm glad it turned out okay with minimal mistakes. Don't you think? [you BETTER!]heh

And the biological clocks ticks on..

I loved working at Rainbow Montessori. It was eye-opening, tiring, fun, full of saliva and sweat and tears, mad running around and pure laughter. The kids were mostly ADORABLE. Of course, they were also maddening at times, but still, the cute side always showed up just in time before I opened hell's doors on them. heehee. How can you not love THIS!

Nadine, quite a sweet child. Mostly, she'd bounce into school early and sing her own songs with her fellow pal Chuan Jun [no pic available]. They'd dance around ladeeladeedaa all over school, kinda like an officiation [?] for the day, before the others came.

These three are friends when they want to be. Hao Jie [on the left] is generally an independent kid, who occasionally tells you a longwinded story about nothing in particular, to which you nod and smile politely. Imran, is very quiet but he comes for Show&Tell day with interesting things and a speech prepared. Daniel [right] is the kid who watches too many soap operas. He was the first kid to kiss me on the lips. It was very random. *blink*This is Arman. At first, I thought he was quite a terror. Running allllll overrr the plaaace, pakat-ing with whoever was willing to do 'naughty things'. But then I realized he had a toddler's mind, and needed to be sayang-ed. After that, we became friends and he was manageable. heh. He really is a nice boy, he just gets restless.

Qiao Yu. Another sweetheart. She's the one who probably plays mommy/daughter at home. She'd make a good mommy. lol.
Marcus would come to school with his daddy. Sometimes he'd cry and want to follow daddy. Sometimes he'd say hello to a teacher and bye daddy. He loved Isaac in a squeeze-you-really-hard way.

This lil cutie, most of you recognize him by now, hahahahaha. ISAAC!!! the darlingest thing ever. This is the face he gave me when I asked him to smile at the camera, everytime!

Seriously,Joni.

I keep telling myself I must change. It’s getting so old. If I’m so desperate to set things right, why hasn’t much changed? How can I possibly talk about your dust & dirt while my cobwebs are all over the place too? These past few months I’ve realized that yes, I was very hurt and affected by the incidents that caused me to despise a majority of Christians. And yes, while I still believe I have my rights in feeling that way, I’ve also realized that I haven’t done enough to set my Christianity right. Sure, I may have told you that I “understand where so&so was coming from and did this or that so she wouldn’t be turned off from Christians herself”, but now I see, what was the use in that? Wasn’t it just an impression of the truth, not the real thing? I wasn’t living the impression I was giving. Why on earth am I walking this way and that way, this way and that when I know for a fact that it makes me a part of the problem?!

A number of occasions in these few months past, have made me really think. Have put me on the spot. Have caught me red-handed bloody-handed spillage-on-the-floor. I may be dabbling with a very dangerous thing. I’m teetering on a very high edge, aren’t I? The last incident was last Saturday. When I told S about a part of me I’d conveniently left out. She didn’t say much. It was just a half-second look that killed me. It messed me up this bad. Thanks, S. Now it’s a little clearer – this edge I’m overlooking. I don’t like what I see. And I’ve been around long enough to know that if I wait longer, my warning signs are gonna get drastic. I don’t wanna wait for that moment, THEN panic and turn around. Why can’t the moment be now, now that I see it clearer, now that You’re tugging harder, now that I feel emptier? Maybe that’s why I’m not professionally at the level I want to/should be at by now. No wait. MAYBE?! Of COURSE that’s why!

Time to move out of this Hollywood, woman. Quickly, before you’re Nipped/Tucked.

I don’t know how to get rid of the anger/hurt/frustration. I could be so much more. I want to be so much more. Now my real test begins, doesn’t it? At a very difficult level – Level 7, Speed 5. 1 life to go. Press Start to begin. Now what are you gonna do, Joanna Lynne Nagaratnam?

I'm off, will you miss me?

Well, here I am blogging at 5:02am. I leave for the bus station in 42mins. I feel sleepy.

I can't believe it's been pretty much FIVE months that I've been back here.

How did that happen so quickly?! No WONDER I feel so strangely attached to Malaysia again.

I will miss Bernice and Eunice. And ALL THE GRACE USJ KIDS. [alahh,dont lah terasa i call u kids, senang untuk i je lah]*puts on best rempit voice*

My OMGsarah, Petrina Thong, ArielleTaiImSoProudOfUForBeingBrave. I love you three, with most of my heart. EVEN IF sometimes things dont click well. love me too?

I will miss the randomities like zac joash nelvie kristy chern paultantk and wid.

I will miss you.

I will miss MANGLISH SIGHhHHhHhHhHHhHh

i WOULD link all names mentioned above, but im so sleepy and im leaving like.....now.

Here's to the past five months.*clink*

Bangkok, here I come again.

oh dear dear me, Paultantk. i think i have gotten carried away with photoshop.look at the time.

Babes

I like Sharon. She is one power chick. She's from KUCHING,my homietown *wannabe pose*. A lot of times, she speaks and my mind says, "wah. one day really soon,this chick is gonna bring the house DOWN!" You go, SHARONNNNNNN!*liCk*

I love my cousins, they are just BABElicious! LOOK AT THEM! We should've had more outings this time 'round,girls..you gotta come to bangkok sometime,promise me!! LOVE u!


...to be continued.

Kissing A Samuel

NAH!

*stops self from apologizing* Hellloooo, fellow people! my my the things that have happened since my last post. We've a lot of catching up to do so here we go...! Riana Green's 5pools [or so] was where the threesome decided we'd take a day off. It was "just nice"..as Goldilocks would say.Then came the night we went to Oasis. It was filled with water,ice,water,cards,more drinks,until some of our bladders malfunction-ed, hahahahahhahahah [for more information, please refer to Petrina Thong]

The Ultra Edition was a celeb party to honour three individuals in their form of art, be it music,fashion design, or pictorial art. Pet and I were there to help out with registration [yeah i know, not as glam, but hey.] It wasn't too bad, but nothing terribly exciting either.

This was Isaac Entry's last performance at Laundry. I was just in the mood to ber-Laundry last week, and paul wanted to practice on his cam,:P [and he turned 22 that night,too]..so...yeah.

And tHISSSSSS, is the reason why I've been so busy. Grace USJ youth organized a music workshop and mini concert on the 24th of Oct. And since I only work 'til 12.30pm while everyone else worked 'til much later, I got the jobs of : backdrop design/deco, 7min original performance [with DarrenAshley,Eugene,and Josh Jesudasan], dance choreography, and keyboard workshop teacher. I could go into details but..nahh. Ah yes, since you generally voted for the videoblogging of a song....here it is...
Disclaimer: i had a sore throat that i tried hard to get rid of, but under the circumstances of late night practices, early morning yelling-at-kindergarten-children days, lack of proper food, yadayadayada........yeah. i apologize for the pitchy "mariahcarey notes", as Sean put it.heh.

SEE!I'm on the right track.lol

You scored as Visual&PerformingArts. You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in the Visual or Performing Arts (e.g. Art, Art Education, Art History, Ceramics, Culinary Arts, Dance, Drawing, Fashion Design, Film, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Marketing (advertising), Music, Music Education, Music Theory, Painting, Photography, Theatre). It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests.

So there we were getting a loonnnggg briefing about the dangers and safety precautions of paintball since a grand total of about TWO in our group had played it before. But we had an awesome bunch of characters with us. It was superb. And a tad violent. hehehehehehhehehe.

Jeremy was upset that I'd shot Sarah..

Sam was glad I'd made some useful shots...while he preened and primped himself.... Daniel Yong tried to be a pimp...but failed...so Pet had to show him how it's done..

I was upset that I didn't get any battlescars as proof that I played hard too!!! POTONG!!
