21st December 2006.

Got the pictures. Got the video. Finally. Here we go.

The theme was Formal With An Odd Thing.

Hence the following attire: ArielleIsSoCuteLarrr.

Pet is wearing an apron. Arielle Jesterhead. Sarahtryingtobepretty.

Mother wore formal with a pacifier earring. (oh man,she would SO kill me if she read that I'm calling her Mother ahahhhaa)

Dad wore formal too, with these AWFUL SOCKS as his odd thing. I never knew there could be "gaudy socks" but it's been proven.

Jon wore these goggles.
Justin wore this.
As you can tell, the most popular "odd thing" was hat, cap, and the likes.

Darren Ashley, the mastermind of the party,inhouse guitarist. He wore a chef hat as his odd thing.wonder where he got it from...
We had a few activities including.....Dancing.... but I think the guys were scared to dance with the girls coz they were doing weird stunts...

Then we played a Piggy game..that was rather amusing..Of course there was food..
... and cakeS. [which were all really good, of course]
..and strange decorations with even stranger meanings behind them (as the rest must have thought..ahhahaha)
..and we had pretty swirls from the ceiling. HowCanYouNotLoveMeSarah is demonstrating our view of the swirls..

Everybody was supposed to make a page to put into this book...
Sarah was upset that I didn't give a proper "OooOh...wAaahhh" when I turned to her page, so I said we'd try the reaction again...

Ask me if you wanna see it.It's got ...well, some interesting pictures.

We spiked some of the drinks...
And then of course, we had the standard posing...
Overall, I had a really good time...Thanks again to all involved!!*clink*
I'm sure y'all had fun too!haha. good times.

Yup. Oh , after that some of us sardin-ed in a car and headed to KL..
The End.

randomsial

I think the best rhyming version of it would be:

You.
and me.
sitting on a tree.
k-i-s-s-i-n-g.


you don't think?

I endorse this site.It is good for the soul.

There is no life on the other side. Really.

I can't even think what they were TRYING to say.

I told you these Chinese have way too many kids.

Becomes a stationary object when placed on surfaces. And ALL this for only $3.99?what a bargain!

A political article Pt. II

Disclaimer: Potentially offensive material. Unsuitable for the insecure, politics-loving, easily-offended and the likes. Contains prejudice.

I just looked at my own profile today, and I still like my random question, it's very....me.
If you're farang and need a translation, I'll be happy to oblige if you ask. haha.

Question: Compose the lyrics to a new national anthem that features an animal sound at least once:

Negaraku,
Tumpahlah darah untuk ku,
Rakyat hidup 'ngan nyamuk selalu,
Mamak,popiah,bukan kurma ikan,
Pariah,Ah lian,karatlah di Kedah!
Mamak,popiah,bukan kurma ikan,
Pariah,Ah lian,karatlah di Kedah!
[moo.]

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

In other news, today we learnt about prejudices and favoritism. It was really good. I got a deep truth out of it. So I guess the "issue" in the political side of this post is pretty much screaming that I didn't apply anything I learnt huh. But it's just...it's just that...O_o *blink blink* Okay, I'm gonna just...go sit right there now.

In Circles

Dear Chris,

Today I did a not-so-good-but-not-entirely-bad-thing. I put your song in **********. You know, the one I sang? It said I shouldn't. But it's the only mp3 of me right now (that I actually like).

I hope you don't mind. I'll call you soon to make sure. Then we'll chat just like old times. Maybe even trade new songs. hahaha









So ...what's your number?


[Disclaimer: Chris is a film-maker. This was his first attempt at composition for a music video. He did an awesome job, don't you think? All I did was sing the song.]

P.S. The picture is pretty random. I wanted a puppy-dog-muka-kesian, but couldn't find a good one. [PetrinaThong, DON'T suggest otherwise,thankyou.] lol

This service good,ya think?

"On My Way To You"

Lyrics/Music: Chris
Vocals: Joni

Home Honey I'm High

If you took less than 3seconds to name both of these, you and I need to have a little chat. HOWEVER, for the rest of you....
....first person to give me the exact names and percentage for both images wins a special night out.
You only get one guess each, so think carefully.

Grace Transit

Jenny: eh, the GraceTransit blog more updated now..not bad.

Me: ya, actually, but it needs more of my face in it.ahhahahhahahhaahha

Tasha: it's nice lah but hopefully the sparkly stuff doesn't overload.. makes my blog look so boring.

Random conversation that ended with...

"But I love Transit.."

"Yeah, me too."

In the last twenty-four hours, I've been told:

M.T.: Naww, I'd say you looked 22...

R.L.: I was thinking "She's so young!" You must be about...what, 14?

C.N.: If I plug you into a power point, you'd make a multi purpose adaptor.

STUDYBREAKS.

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!
