My greatest achievement; in top7!
The results are out, n i’m staying till top7 only.
well, for some reason i’m not sad, the fact that i prepared myself so much earlier on that any week could be the last week. Not that i do not have confidence, but it’s up to Malaysia to determine my fate. N besides, we’re competing with the best of the best! 
To be the 7th best? I’m more than happy..i’m happy that Malaysia likes me, n the fact that i’ve made it thru top12, i’ve given thanks to God.
When the time the results were announced, i was ok. But then after a while, i feel my eyes couldn’t hold it much longer but warm tears couldn’t wait to flow out. Oh, how i’ve tried my best to hold it all together.
Was i sad? Yes i was. I’m not sad because i’m chosen to be out of the competition, but I was sad because i know my mom n dad, family, friends n my supporters will be dissapointed that i couldn’t go further.
N most importantly, my dad. He was my no.1 supporter. He was the best advisor, motivator and godly father all through the time of my competition. He was the most excited one everytime the show is on. He watch all of the programmes that i was in. He calls me everyday n time to make sure that i’m ok n i’m prepared for the upcoming challenge. N I’m sure he will be the first one to be sad when i don’t advance to the next round.
If you ask me, I have nothing to regret. Maybe i have missed a lot of things around me, but to me, being in this competition is a lot more meaningful, n i’ve learned seriously lotsa things from here. If have the chance to turn back time? I will never change my mind of joining this competition.
Well, this is not the last of me. I love music, n it is always my passion. Passion is like addiction. Once you got into it, it will always be in you n it will never be out of you till the day you die.
I will always be singing, n hopefully i can have my own album in the future. Singing till the day i do not have the energy to. I believe God had a plan for me. N i know all will be good when i surrender everything that He has given me back to Him. He created me to have this talent and the passion, I’m sure He has a plan ahead for me. Show me the way, n I will follow. Through all good n bad times, i will praise Him for His goodness.
I’d say it a thousand times, thank you, thank you n i thank you to all of you out there who supported me! God has blessed me so much with all of you out there. You will not be seeing the last of me! 
N to Kelly..yeah i can sing Chinese. In fact i was in the top16 of Astro Talent Quest last year. U see Crystal n the rest of the cast in Wah Lai Toi every Sat 7pm? They’re my buddies 
~Chillz to all~
Signing off with Love,

Hi Joni, this is my 1st time writing in your blog, I just had to. Your performance during your exit was so beautiful I almost wept. You proved that you had what it takes to go further in the competition and I believe that was a wonderful exit. I would’ve doubled my SMS after that song… Never think that you are not good enough k, cos you are NOT the worst in the competition. I have noticed you from the start of the competition and I was hoping you’d go on till the finals. But anyways, I hope you land a contract someday cos I’d definitely support you. Keep up the good work and trust me, us fans are proud of you. All the best k!
PS: If you make an album, please, please make it in English, dun let us down k! (me banana) Gambate Joni!

Dear Joni,
Congrats of being able to be at the top 7, like you said the best among the best…
I believe many were hoping you to further….It’s not really end of your journey though…Take is as an exposure…
I hope you can create a stronger brand with the guitar … Hope you will be coming out with a quality album in the future….
All the best!

Hi Joni!!
Your exit was superb!It was better than the performances you gave earlier.
I was kinda shocked when I heard you start in Mandarin as I thought it wasn’t allowed. Then came the “Fly Me to The Moon” part, and you actually impressed me(I wasn’t exactly a fan of your, sorry).
Your really showed your strength and what you were good at. Plus, it was miles better than the last performance of the night. You would have reeled in a lot of votes if it wasn’t your exit performance(I actually wanted to cuz I didn’t know you were eliminated).
Wish you the best of luck!!Hope to hear your album soon!

hey joni,
It’s really rare to see people who attribute so much of the good things that has happened to them to God..and after reading your blog i suppose you are one of the rare ones and that really earned my respect for u. I was rather stunned when u were eliminated from the competition , i never thought u wud leave this early(at least top 5 i thought).Anyway, Just out of curiousity, how old are u?
