Featuring...Pt.III

Aubry Chong Yuan Yaw

Otherwise known as Ah Yaw..gave a first impression of someone who was quiet..calm..steady..sane..

occasionally humorous..

But something changed as I got to know him.

He got louder. More outspoken. Crazy, even, at times.

He provoked smiles/glances/cackles/laughter - at the oddest hours.
He eased tense atmospheres.
He wowed us with his drumming.
He's made me laugh countless times.

Just the other day, he started stamping his feet, clapping his hands and arms on his body,
then when he noticed he had an audience, he paused in his odd jig to say,
"Stomp The Yaw".

RM12 can buy 3 hoodies!

There's a sale of a jillion not-so-sellable clothes in Summit now. The offer was RM1.00 for 100gm of clothes, so they weigh what you wanna buy to get the price. My mom, sister and I popped in to see what we could see. The outcome? After searching through the piles, we actually managed to find a few interesting things - Mom bought about 13pieces of clothes for a total of RM21, and I got about 6pieces for RM17!!
So anyway, I thought you'd like to see some, so I in my vanity took the liberty of modeling a few for you to see.....

Candy-cane spag. = RM1.80

Sweet sky-blue hoodie = RM3.80

Brown hoodie with gold lettering = RM4.00

White hoodie = RM3.80

Mom: Oh dear, dad, now you have to take us to some nice cold place like Camerons or at least Genting so we can wear these....

I dunno what I'm gonna do with all these hoodies but..who cares! I sell to you lah..RM49.90 only, want?

=D

Do you have a third nipple?

haha, Sam says he does. And Pet is still attracted to non-heteros.
So what do I have to expose to the world [as if you don't already think I'm weird]..?

Weird Fact #1:
I used to have sleepovers with my brother Darren and our Kuching pastor's two sons. Just the four of us on one big king-sized bed. I was about eight/nine. Darren was probably six, the other two boys were between 10-12..

Weird Fact#2:
I check out girls more than I check out guys. [Girls are usually more interesting to look at, anyway.] I note their sexiest body-parts and analyze in my head WHY it's sexy. I dunno why I do, but it's fun. Except that some people have started to notice this. erheh.

Weird Fact#3:
I don't really like air-conditioning unless I've been in the sun too long. [it's just coz I hate the way air-conditioning dries me up]

Weird Fact#4:
Sometimes I wish I had been forced to drink more milk as a kid so that I'd be taller now. Seems to have worked for Darren and Tammy..

Weird Fact#5:
If I couldn't study music, I was considering Psychology. No, really.

Weird Fact#6:
The smell of my hair has recently been my comfort zone. Like the comfort safety blankets bring..

Dear God,

Please may I have a little pocket-sized gadget that has an SD card slot and lotsa RAM so that I may instantly transfer pictures and videos taken from other cameras? Thank you in advance.

Amen.

Joni and her lion

I had an equally buta dream last night. And it went on for quite a while too! Here's what I remember:

I was on a large field. And it's got those Christmas-sy trees around it. And there's this lion that can talk. I don't remember what he said, but we have this long comforting conversation (again, I don't remember why I needed 'comforting'), and here's the buta part...

I sleep in a CAGE, with the lion.

*blink blink* And i think there's a lioness nearby and I'm a lil' intimidated but not afraid coz' the lion is there. what the......?!

So then it's almost morning, and I get the feeling that I shouldn't be found in there (ya think?!) and I ask the lion how I can get out before "they" come and see me. And he tells me to just lie quietly where I am and they won't notice.
When "they" came, I couldn't quite tell what exactly they were..
They weren't circus people, were they?
I don't think they were cleaners either..I dunno la. And no, I haven't watched/read any fantasy movies/books or anything recently..

so weird.

My classmate

has

a
sense
of
HUMOuR

I just realized that my poll technically has only two answers.
coz the people who only look at pictures and videos, won't be reading the poll in the first place.

*d'ng*

New Joni Times: BJ rocks socks, SamOh history.

Question #1

Where was I born?

Kuching Correct!

K.L.

Sibu

Chiang Rai

Who wouldn't terasa if your BEST FRIEND who knew you since diaperdays, says you're from KL. sheesh.

Question #2

I\'d rather...

cook

do dishes

pop pimples Incorrect

kill flying cockroaches

I always say that i HATE to cook. And if you've never heard me say that, I implied it here. i NEVER pop pimples, and i'd kill running roaches, but flying ones are no-no.

Question #3

When I was three, I sang...

\"..with a great big hug, and a kiss from me to you..\"

\"..burunggggg kakak tuaaaaa...\"

\"..gee if I could only have my two front teeth..\"

\"..sometimes making chapatti, I do it all for Jesus, Jesus\" Correct!

If you went to Joni's MySpace, you can hear her singing this song. At 3 yrs old: Barney didn't exist, Two front teeth would be a little too complicated to sing, dont u think? Burung kakak tua wouldn't make sense.

Question #4

I don\'t have..

a hair dryer

an eyelash curler Correct!

gold earrings

hair spray

Do you think I need one, though?lol

Question #5

Once upon a time, I had a crush on...

Senior Guide Darren Teoh Incorrect

Piaree\'s friend Melissa

cucumber boy Larry Chew

Indon babe Naomi Uli

Most of you answered A, i think coz the words Senior Guide sounded glamor,maybe? Some guys said Naomi, probably coz they liked the "Indon babe" part and hoped it was true. but it's MELISSA. i thought think she's pretty cool. Saying Larry is "cute" does not constitute for a "crush", Pet.

Question #6

I have never seen ________ perform live in front of me.

Black Eyed Peas

Michael Buble

Alicia Keys Correct!

Jackie Chan

This is because I was in SAE recording for NELVIE who got this question wrong too, despite me having told him that I missed her concert that same night. If you wanted to know, I saw BEP and Jackie Chan at the Forces of Nature concert, Buble in Bangkok.

Question #7

In my life, I have never..

driven a car

gotten a D in an exam

been pushed in a pool with all my clothes on

been in a hair-pulling catfight Correct!

I drove my dad's wagon on my 18th birthday, for fun without his knowledge. I got my first and only D in History, Form 2. I was pushed in the pool during another birthday.

Question #8

I am currently pursuing my..

Bachelor\'s Degree in Music Production

Bachelor\'s Degree in Audio Engineering

Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music

Bachelor\'s Degree in Recording Arts Correct! Ok so maybe this one was a lil tricky, but PaulTan did his homework and checked Myspace where the answer is written clearly.

5:44am.

I just washed all the dirty dishes,
cleaned the stove,
swept&mopped the hall, kitchen, & Tammy's my room,
did some laundry,
cleared the dining & computer tables,
folded laundry,
sorted cds, and
bathed.

I started at 2am.

I am officially a freak.

Oh, how my tongue just wants to lick some...

Raise your hands if you think you're living in a microwave oven on High.
Anyone wanna join me for a session of ice-cream floats, followed by a trip to the nearest sprinkler/pool/stream/tub?

Upcoming..

Darren Ashley,
Sean J.,
Justin O.,
Aubry C.,
Joni Lynne,
and the lil' hit, Josh J.

Girl, Obstructed.

Lisa had a point. Would you say I am crazy too?

Lisa: There are too many buttons in the world.
Too many buttons...begging to be pressed.
You know, they're just begging to be pressed.
And it makes me really wonder...
Why doesn't anybody ever press mine?

So Susanna pushed it.
It must have hurt.
But I dunno...

Susanna: ...maybe everyone out there is a liar.
And maybe the whole world...is stupid and ignorant.
But I'd rather be in it.
I'd rather be in it...than down here with you.

Sorry I couldn't remove the "than down here with you"
coz I wanted the "I'd rather be in it"..

I feel Lisa. I got her.
I wasn't sure I agreed with Susanna, but it did sound intriguing.
Made me wonder about me. Would I "rather be in it" just 'cause?
Or am I too stubborn to conform. Am I "dead already"?
Do I keep coming back to that.one.place?
Do I need that place to feel alive?
"Why doesn't anybody ever press mine?"

I'm pretty sick of me today.

I thought I had protection on..

..but then, I discovered I was wrong.
It's not a good hour, I'll stand on this side
and quietly sing my little song.

KringKring.

I've recently been plagued with the craving for a new phone with a camera. I'm not usually bothered with the latest this-and-thats in life, and I've always thought I'm too clumsy for a more-than-just-functional phone, but ...now I want a nicer one.

Holiday Villa Charity Dinner, March 18th

So John Hurley Quinley III and i were having a regular chat session this week, when.....

JJ: how old are you in your photo? 14 15 16 ish?
Me: what photo?
JJ: your DP pic
Me: hahahahahhahahaahhahhahaha
i took this last week.

JJ: ohhhh hahah I joke i joke i kid i kid
i mean what a nice pic of you joni! :)
it looks like you are alot younger
which is not a bad thing it just does not look the same as you in real life.

This is what I've been trying to say.

JAKUN.

WAHHHHHH.....roll your mouse over my links.

Call me SimonCowell.

Today I'm compromising a little vow I made to myself about my blog. Most of you don't need to read this.

You know,I don't believe in telling lies to make people feel better about themselves. Especially if I think they can handle the truth without jumping off a building.
If my opinion is asked, I'll give you MY OPINION.
Especially if it's something worth telling the truth for.

I'd rather not be asked for an opinion if I have to filter out the truth.
I'd rather not pretend.
I'm despised for it alot. I try to be tamer.

The only reason I've been filtering out a lot of my opinion to ___ _______ is because of S. I don't want her to have to hear any **** on my behalf.
I do want to see success. I do want the best to show. But it won't happen if all that's said is nice-to-hear. This world isn't gonna be nice to you.

So the way I see it,
you have two choices.
1. You can ask my opinion and listen to it with the knowledge that I do have your best interests in mind.
2. Don't ask my opinion.

Thank you.

SongSheLikes Pt.1

I LIKE FAYE TOO.

but anyway, I have a question.
as usual, it's random.

Is it more brutal to be "brutally honest" online (blog, MSN, email, etc.) or face-to-face (mamak, office, college, church, etc.)?

I dunno, this just popped in my head after reading the headline from someone's blog. I don't even know who it is, really. heh.
But no, really, would it suck if the whole world could read about what you didn't like in someone, even if you don't mention their name?
But then, would one be more affected if an opinion/truth/fact was stated to one's face?
Hmm.
Mention of the day: What pretty lamp-chandeliers.. *smiles to self as some people say "you weirdo."*

Mood: Rattled.

Is one sentence from a temperamentalist worth getting rattled over?
Do I erase the hurt and move on
or should I dig deeper into the why's and what's
and attempt salvation?

Is one sentence from one so sardonic
gonna rip me up, shove me down, drag me on?
Do I let you?
Or do I let go?

Where Is Joni?

I bet you're all sick of Joni being in Malaysia Thailand Malaysia Thailand,no Malaysia. Well, yeah but I can't help my circumstances. 'sides, I kinda like jostling around. Gives an edge to life.
But for the record, because I know I will be asked a frillion times from this day on, here are some quick FAQs.

Where do you live now?
Mostly Malaysia, but I travel to Bangkok for classes which are about a week per month.

Why?
My research project is based in KL. It's cheaper to live in KL and travel to Bangkok now and then.

How long more?
If nothing goes wrong, I will be done with my Bachelor's Degree in Recording Arts by Dec '07/Jan '08.

Do you prefer living in Bangkok or KL?
Both have elements that I love.

What is your project?
Songwriting&Co-producing a Musical.

And with that,
Glad to be back.

In't She Cute

Well, I think she is.
