I did a personality test I found on facebook and I thought it was pretty accurate. Here goes.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

To be different from today

Thank You God for the many tomorrows in my life.

We are adults!

Had dinner at Banyan tree last night with Jun Shi, Ginny and Emmerie to celebrate Jun Shi's 23rd birthday.
A bunch of giggly, happy girls.
And we talk as girls do.

Ginny's moving into a house and getting a dog!
Emmerie is making big decisions in life about where to spend the rest of her life.
Jun Shi and I applying for and moving into a house.

And it dawned on me. That we have become adults.
In many ways, I feel exactly the same as the day I arrived in Australia.
But in so many other ways, I feel I have grown up. I have changed.
I have become extremely practical. And a little bit more cynical. And a lot more colder.
My life seems to be really busy. Yet, I do a lot less.
I worry a lot more. And I pray a lot less.
I talk a lot more. Yet I think a lot less.

Instead;
I wish I were idealistic and warmer and less cynical.
I wish I spoke less and listened more.
I wished I lived a life where Christ is glorified everyday.
Where I would not be ashamed of speaking up when things are not right. Where I would not be quiet and defenseless. Where I would have humility and love like Christ did.

I've gone completely off tangent.

What I meant to say is that, I bought my air ticket home with my own credit card and my own hard earned money and I am an ADULT!!!!!
