Random tests strike again!

MORE RANDOM TESTS!!! ^^

You Are a Powdered Devil's Food Donut

A total sweetheart on the outside, you love to fool people with your innocent image.
On the inside you're a little darker, richer, and more complex.
You're a hedonist who demands more than one pleasure at a time.
Decadent and daring, you test the limits of human indulgence.


You Are Vanilla Ice Cream

Your personality is anything but "vanilla"
You're a risk taker, who's up for anything new.
You go well with anyone and fit into any situation.

You are most compatible with rocky road ice cream.


You Don't Get Enough Sleep

You definitely don't get enough sleep, and it's turning you into a mental zombie!
You need to get more sleep, starting tonight if possible.
Avoid caffeine, keep a regular bedtime, don't watch TV before bed, and sleep in complete darkness.


You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.


The Part of You That No One Sees

You are aloof, mysterious, and distant.
People feel like they really don't know the true you...
Yet they're still drawn to you, almost by magnetic force.

Underneath it all, you don't even really feel like you know yourself.
It's easier to put on a front than really think about your life's purpose.
You tend to seem pretentious, but it's just a mechanism you use to push people away.


Haha, as usual, none should be taken for real. Anyway, was revising for Lit test well into the night when the lyrics of Pale came into my mind:

Oh this night is too long,
Have no strength to go on,
No more pain,
I'm floating away...

Haha, really fits, doesn't it?^^ Waargh, this September holidays are not even holidays, so much work...... :(

Red Moon Rising

THERE IS A LUNAR ECLIPSE TODAY!!!!!! AND I AM WATCHING IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!
It's so cool! A fully red moon. I have seen a full red moon before and it was such a long time ago. Such a pity it is raining today are I cannot witness this spectacle myself, anyway, I'm watching it on Discovery Channel's website. Here's the link, it's great: http://www.discoverychannelasia.com/eclipse/index.shtml

Anyway, there is PE tommorrow. I'M GONNA FAIL!!!!!! Sigh, I hope they don;t give some random weirdo topic... Anyway, I'm ending now. In response to the tag by passer by, I wish to say that blogs are places of free expression, and THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE INTERESTING FOR EVERYONE...

Random tests

Finally! I am updating my blog and as usual, not much content... Here are some random tests I did ^^:

You Are Japanese Food

Strange yet delicious.
Contrary to popular belief, you're not always eaten raw.


You Are a Snowflake

You live for the winter - blizzards, cold nights, snowball fights! The holidays are just a bonus!


You Are Spider-Man

Quick and agile, you have killer instincts (literally).
And that kind of makes up for the whole creepy spider thing.


You Are a Tuna Fish Sandwich

Some people just don't have a taste for you. You are highly unusual.
And admit it, you've developed some pretty weird habits over the years.
You may seem a bit unsavory from a distance, but anyone who gives you a chance is hooked!

Your best friend: The Club Sandwich

Your mortal enemy: The Turkey Sandwich


Just a note, all these are random and should not be taken for real. ^^

The Prince of Egypt - Deliver Us



I have completely fallen in love with the songs from The Prince of Egypt. Here are the lyrics:

Egyptian Guards
Mud...Sand...Water...Straw...Faster
Mud...And lift...Sand...And Pull
Water...And raise up...Straw...Faster!

Slaves
With the sting of the whip on my shoulder
With the salt of my sweat on my brow
Elohim, God on high
Can you hear your people cry:
Help us now
This dark hour...

Deliver us
Hear our call
Deliver us
Lord of all
Remember us, here in this burning sand
Deliver us
There's a land you promised us
Deliver us to the promised land...

Yocheved
Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach
(My good and tender son)
Al ti-ra veh al tif-chad
(Don't be frightened and don't be scared)
My son, I have nothing I can give
But this chance that you may live
I pray we'll meet again
If He will deliver us

Slaves
Deliver us
Hear our prayer
Deliver us
From despair
These years of slavery grow
too cruel to stand
Deliver us
There's a land you promised us
Deliver us
Out of bondage and
Deliver us to the promised land...

Yocheved
Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember my last lullaby
So I'll be with you when you dream

River, o river
Flow gently for me
Such precious cargo you bear
Do you know somewhere
he can live free?
River, deliver him there...

Young Miriam
Brother, you're safe now
And safe may you stay
For I have a prayer just for you:
Grow, baby brother
Come back someday
Come and deliver us, too...

The Prince of Egypt - The Plagues



Another song from The Prince of Egypt. This one is darker. Here are the lyrics:

Thus saith the Lord:
Since you refuse to free my people
All through the land of Egypt...

I send a pestilence and plague
Into your house, into your bed
Into your streams, into your streets
Into your drink, into your bread
Upon your cattle, on your sheep
Upon your oxen in your field
Into your dreams, into your sleep
Until you break, until you yield
I send the swarm, I send the horde
Thus saith the Lord

Moses
Once I called you brother
Once I thought the chance
to make you laugh
Was all I ever wanted...

Chorus
I send the thunder from the sky
I send the fire raining down

Moses
And even now I wish that God
had chose another
Serving as your foe on his behalf
Is the last thing that I wanted...

Chorus
I send a hail of burning ice
On every field, on every town

Moses
This was my home
All this pain and devastation
How it tortures me inside
All the innocent who suffer
From your stubbornness and pride...

Chorus
I send the locusts on a wind
Such as the world has never seen
On every leaf, on every stalk
Until there's nothing left of green
I send my scourge, I send my sword
Thus saith the Lord!

Moses
You who I called brother
Why must you call down another blow?

Chorus
I send my scourge, I send my sword

Moses
Let my people go

Moses and Chorus
Thus saith the Lord

Rameses
You who I called brother
How could you have come to hate me so?
Is this what you wanted?

Chorus
I send the swarm, I send the horde...

Rameses
Then let my heart be hardened
And never mind how high the cost may grow
This will still be so:
I will never let your people go...

Chorus
Thus saith the Lord:

Moses
Thus saith the Lord:

Rameses
I will not...

Moses, Rameses, and Chorus
Let your (my) people go

The Prince of Egypt - When You Believe



A really beautiful song. Here are the lyrics:

Miriam

Many nights we've prayed
with no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we ever knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe



Tzipporah

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say



Miriam and Tzipporah

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe...



Hebrew Children

A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
(Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial)
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
(Who is like You, majestic in holiness)
Na-chi-tah v'chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra...
(I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)



Hebrews

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles

You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe



Miriam and Tzipporah

You will when you believe
