Wrong Priorities

Exams are so near...

My assignments are piling up.....

And what do I do?

I re-read Hunger Games. XD

Yep, I got my priorities right :D I have never bought Hunger Games, the first time I read it, it was from an e-book. I want to buy this book so bad, with the cover depicted above. But unfortunately, all the books I've found have that bitch Stephanie Meyer's name on it  >:(  I don't wanna taint my room with that horrible name!!

Back to schooling matters...

My exam timetable came out. I would have

Biology - 8 June - 9.30am - 12.30pm

Chemistry - 9 June - 9.30am - 12.30pm

Ecological History of Humanity - 14 June - Final Research Essay Submission before 5pm

Informatics - 20 June - 9.30am - 12.30pm

Did I mention that I HATE mornings? (and exams too)

One thing that comforts me somewhat, is that exams are NOT a measure of intelligence, they do not determine how well you will do in life, how successful you will be or how much potential you have in yourself.

Hank Green puts it very well.



 Nerdfighters FTW! DFTBA!!

I gotta get away from school, thinking of this exams matter makes me lose my appetite. Ugh.

SIMPLE PLAN HAS A NEW MV!!

It's the French version of Jet Lag. Simple Plan sounds sexier in French XD



And since I haven't bugged you guys about Hetalia in a long time, Here's a Hetalia vid, featuring my 3rd favourite character (Prussia is 1st and UK is 2nd) :

EVIL!RUSSIA



I like Hetalia being depicted like this. It shows that the world we live in now was built on bloodshed.

That and I like seeing Russia being sadistic.

My anger's violent,
But still I'm silent;
When tragedy strikes at home,
I know this decadence, is shared by millions.

Missionettes Testimony and Eurovision Review

Hey, I’m Nicole. I have been attending Missionettes since I was 4 when the Rainbows program just started; it was during that time where I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. Missionettes has been a wonderful journey. The weekly lessons have been useful and informative. Not only do we learn about God and the Bible, we were also taught God’s views on girly stuff like cooking and grooming and later, about studies, jobs and dating.

For many years, Missionettes has been my only contact with church. Since my parents only attended the 5pm service, I had to choose between service and Missionettes. Obviously I chose the less boring option! It was only when Missionettes was moved to 2.30 when I started attending the NX service regularly. However, despite not going to regular service, I have come to understand the word of God through regular lessons and how I need to apply it to my daily life. The open environment makes it easier to share and the sponsors were understanding and have instilled the love of God in my heart. I used to think that going to church was just a routine every Sunday, but eventually I looked forward to it each and every week, wondering what new things I would learn.

My proudest moment was in Missionettes when the Girls Only adapted a skit I had written. It really gave me a boost in my confidence in writing. Seeing my fellow classmates perform it on stage in front of an audience was exhilarating especially since it was my first written skit. I thank God for giving me the inspiration and also the courage to show my script to Sponsor Maryann who was supportive and most of all patient since I was a slow writer….

Right now, I’m studying in the University of Melbourne in Australia. It was a last minute decision that was only confirmed 2 months before the term was scheduled to start. Living away from home alone in another country is hard. Being a Malaysian, I miss the food more than I miss the people, especially Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai and Teh Tarik. The culture I can get used to but the food doesn’t feel the same. However, my hunger for God has remained unchanged. I still want to know more.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” This was the scripture verse for the Girls Only Club, I never really understood this verse when I first read it, but now the meaning is very clear. I put God first in everything I do, whether for my studies or my social life. There are times when I feel God has abandoned me, but somehow I know that that’s the time when he’s with me the most, all I have to do is turn to Him. God truly provides for his children.

Being so far away, I am unable to attend Girls Only this year and also I regret that I won’t be graduating from Missionettes with my fellow classmates. I wish all of you the best and I promise I’ll be there for the 35th Celebration.

This thing is one of the main reasons why I haven't posted in ages. This and about a thousand other assignments that I was procrastinating working on. And the worst part is I'm not even done!!! I still got 1 due this week, another due next week and one more 2000 word essay due next month!!!

I finally found something I hate more that exams. ASSIGNMENTS!!!!

GAH!!!

And Finals are next month...... Damn.

Let's talk about something else shall we..... EUROVISION!! This year's winner was Azerbaijan. Yes, I know what you're thinking. WHERE THE HECK IS THAT!!?? I don't know either, and I'm too lazy to look it up on Google Maps...



Personally, I don't like this song. I preferred Georgia's One More Day (9th place), Macedonia's Ruskina (Russian Girl,didn't make it past the Semis) and Finland's Da Da Dam (21st place) even though I thought Finland's song didn't really fit in Eurovision.....

Georgia


Macedonia


Finland


Germany, last year's winner, was a HUGE dissapointment. I liked their song "Satellite" last year and felt that they totally deserved the win. But "Taken By A Stranger" was an especially risky song, sure, it was a nice song but try to outshine yourself Lena, she was so mild this year....

Italy got 2nd place this year. That is all. Didn't like their song.

Of the top 5, 3rd placed Sweden definitely my favourite! "Popular" was such a cute song and I can picture 7 year olds singing to this. Also, cause Eric Saade is so @#*%#^*^ cute!



Special mention to 5th place Denmark with their song "A New Tomorrow". This song was really inspirational, sweet and so damn awesome! LOVE IT!!



AND CONGRANTS TO UK FOR NOT GETTING TOP 10 THIS YEAR!!! Seriously, the number of almost wins UK has you would think they would have given up by now XD I admit, I was a Blue fangirl back when they were popular, but the song wasn't that good. True, it had the same inspirational tone like Finland and Denmark, put paled in comparison to the other entries...... sad really.......

Coming Now and Coming Soon

 THRONE OF FIRE COMES OUT TODAY!!!!!! (May 3rd in the US, May 4th here)

I NEED TO GO TO A BOOK STORE!! I NEED TO SEE THE REAL BOOK BEFORE ME!

And I need to finish reading it then returning it to the bookshelf. XD

Dammit, I so want to buy the book but THE COST!!!!

Yes, I've complain about the high price of books everywhere. But if any government wants people to read more they should totally lower the prices of books.

CHERN WEI!!! YOUR CONTACTS BETTER GET ME THE BOOK!!

Also, in the Children's Choice Awards recently, Rick Riordan latest book "The Red Pyramid " won best 5-6th Grade book AND he won Author of The Year for "The Lost Hero"!! Congratulation RICK!!!!!

                You can hide behind your stories,

~Break Your Little Heart by All Time Low~

      "Don't be so sentimental, no,
           This is love is accidental, so;
                Give it up, this was never meant to be,
                     More than a memory for you..."

Hoildays are here!

Pfffft!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

Holidays are coming! I love you holidays!!

Easter break is next week. I find it awesome that I get holidays for Easter. Good Friday is a public holiday as well. Yay!

I can't wait to climb those rocks

I'll be going to Anglesea for the Easter weekend! I really need to explore more of Victoria so what's better than joining an Easter Camp! God and beaches, it's the perfect combination!

And maybe I'll learn to surf too. Maybe.

It's a 3 nights, 3 days camp, so I will be back by Sunday afternoon. I think. It would be fabulous not to cook for a few days, and no more washing up!!! That's fantastic!!! My cooking is wonderful (don't deny it) but once in a while, even a master needs a break.

Because of this I may not do long blogs while I'm there. I still want to stick to the 1 month blog challenge (and don't want to write an extra 9 blogs). I'm not bringing my computer along with me but I will try to blog from my phone. Maybe a maximum of 1 paragraph with no pictures. Yep, but it's not like you guys spend more than 5 minutes here anyway! Hehe...

Early Easter blog tomorrow! I need to pack!

~Suomirokkia (Finnish Rock) by Aknestik~

      "Mä muistan sen kirkkaan päivän
           Sen kesän ja sen valon häivän
                Totuus löytyi kaurapuurosta, Rockradiosta, Tuplauunosta
                     Kaarlo Maaninka, Mona Carita, seksiunelmia vinttihuoneissa...
                          Se oli silloin..."

(I remember that one bright day,)
     (That summer and the gleam of light,) 
           (The truth was found in porridge, rock radio channel and Double Uno,)
               (Kaarlo Maaninka, Mona Carita, sex fantasies in the loft,)
                    (It was then...)

I've been listening to a lot of Finnish songs for the past few weeks (don't ask , this was one of the tamest. One wonders why Himayura Hidekaz made the Hetalia Finland so moe when in reality Death Metal Rock is so popular there. Seriously, these songs make your ears bleed!!

My Adam

StarWorld is showing repeats of American Idol 8 now. So far only two episodes have been shown, auditions in Kansas and Arizona. I don't know which episode is the San Fransisco one, the one where Adam Lambert auditioned. So impatient I was that I watched the audition online. Over and over and over again.



Ahhhh!!!!!

I found this 10 minutes ago.



OMG!!!!
