You Are Outgoing and Lively

You are a talkative and friendly person. You are unpretentious and truly warm hearted. You are accepting of all people, and you have a fondness for anyone who's willing to listen to your stories. Some people may complain that you can be self-centered. And it's true that you do like to do most of the talking in a conversation. But you're so witty and cheerful that it's hard to complain too much. You are the person who is keeping things exciting.

Wow... I don't usually get results like this. And all from my choice of mustache. LOL!

You Are Loyal

Your positive traits: You are serious about relationships and ready for a commitment. You tend to help your partner attain the success they dream of. You are a rock. Relationship problems don't seem to phase you. Your negative traits: Sometimes it's very hard for you to accept your partner's past. You are emotionally reserved, and difficult to connect with. You expect your partner to take care of you - and make cheat if they do not Your ideal partner: Is incredibly powerful and well respected. Is often older than you - and could be a superior at work. Has a good amount of money... or the ability to be rich someday. Your dating style: Practical. A "get to know each other" coffee date is just fine by you. Your seduction style: Bossy - you like to be the one in charge in the bedroom. Slow and patient. You know that good sex takes time. Calculating. You'll use sex to get ahead, if necessary. Tips for the future: Open up. A little emotional expression is a good thing in relationships. Leap before you look. You don't have to run a cost benefit sheet on everyone you date. Enjoy the now. No need to worry about marriage on the first few dates. Best color to attract mate: Dark green Best day for a date: Saturday

I'm so happy today!

Or rather, if I wasn't so tired I probably would be. LOL!

I pulled an almost-all-nighter yesterday, chionging my still life assignment, which I'd only blocked out the day before, and which was due this morning. (PROCRASTINATION IS BAD LIESL! >=[)

I drank two cups of coffee, first one made with three tablespoons of coffee powder, second one made by Natalja with expired coffee powder (ROFL!) and wound up shaking like a lunatic and not being able to draw straight lines to save my life.

In the end, I was getting too worked up to successfully make any progress with my drawing, so I decided it was time to get some shuteye before class.

Those were the longest two hours of sleep I've ever tried to get in my life. The coffee kept waking me up at intervals and I had multiple random dreams that I currently don't remember anymore.

The next day, I was so wired I couldn't sit still in class. The model must have thought I was crazy. My lecturer must have thought so too, when I kept hopping on my toes during the critique session of my homework.

Apart from some tone issues with the drapery and the ground, she was pretty happy with my still life drawing, and for that I'm really thankful to God, because it's only because of Him I was able to pull through. =)

Another piece of good news is my lecturer has selected my drapery homework and torso drawing as potentials for the school's winter show. =D

Thank You, Lord!! Please forgive me for procrastinating. Help me to pick up the pace again! Jia you!!

I'm always not doing any homework at all during the weekends.

It's kind of bad... take for example this weekend. I didn't touch my still life assignment at all, and now I only have three days left to draw it. Bad bad BAD.

It's a good thing it gets dark so early these days (like at 5pm -_-). So then I'll have more time at night to work.

I treasure my weekends though. I'm always so happy on Friday nights. And I hate it when I sleep in on Saturdays and wake up to find that the whole morning is gone.

Yes, I love weekends. =)

This coming weekend, we'll be celebrating Nick's 21st on Friday night, then I'll be having Japanese BBQ dinner in Japantown with Natalja (and possibly others if they're keen) on Saturday. And on Sunday there'll be a thanksgiving dinner with my church.

Can't wait! xD

Btw, I'm currently reading Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella. I wanted to wait for the paperback to come out, but it was taking so long! So in the end I just got the hardcover copy, which is annoying to read with, but at least I don't have to worry about doggy ears. O_o

Let's say you're having dinner at home and you accidentally drop food on the floor. Wouldn't you clean it up immediately?

Or would you leave it on the floor for hours or even days and let it decompose and attract bugs?

This is exactly what I don't get with some people and their refusal to resolve conflicts as soon as possible. It is the same thing! Why leave ugly messes out there to get uglier?

Fix the problem while you can and put it behind you, FPS!

*FPS: frames per second/ first person shooter/ for pete's sake.

L-O-V-E's just another word I never learned to pronounce. ;)

I watched Paranormal Activity.

It was scary.

But I handled it. =)

And I didn't have to blast music into my ears this time.

Focus on what you came here to do, Liesl.

The True You Values Harmony

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed. With respect to money, you spend as little as possible. You think good luck doesn't exist - reality is built on practicalities. The hidden side of your personality tends to be satisfied to care for things with a minimal amount of effort. You are tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked. When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you base your search on information from your friends.

American money is so confusing. Their one cent is bigger than their ten cents, which is smaller than their five cents, and their notes are all the same colour. -.-

And don't get me started on tipping. LOL!

I thank God for the drawing workshop I attended today. It was just what I needed. =)

Analysis of Form Lecture tomorrow. And so it begins.

[ Entries are below this To-Do list. ]

Things to do before I go to the USA:

- REGISTER CLASSES!!!

- Self-assign housing! Leonardo Da Vinci Apartments. O_o

- Buy a clothes steamer thingy. (I am NOT touching an iron. NO.) Uncle Harry says getting one in USA is better.

- Buy skirts. Insanely, yes.

- Buy sports shoes. Skechers!

- Cut fringe. Doll fringe. D:

- Find an extremely effective alarm clock. Handphone I guess? +_+

- Buy a new tablet! Intuos 4!!! Muahahahar!! And I went to Challenger to get it all by myself! -Feels so grown up- ^^

- Clean out laptop. (Or get a new laptop?)

- Learn how to cook. More or less. =P

- Learn how to do laundry.

- Buy windbreakers. (More! MORE!!!) Two... is that enough?

- Buy more boots for rainy days? Ah forget it. One pair will do for now... I think.

- Find out what kind of socket plug they use over there, and go buy. Done, but I'm not sure if I've bought enough. D:

- Get Maya. Thanks Perry! =D

- Get Final Cut Pro. Thanks Sue! =D

- Buy the special US lock luggage thingy. Yupperz.

- Socks.

-Underwear.

I'm allowed to bring 46kg worth of stuff over to USA. (Two suitcases weighing 23kg each, max.)

The art books alone weigh almost 20kg in total already.

...

Sometimes I find myself trying not to think about it.

This is bigger than me.

When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go. Only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall,
or He'll teach you how to fly!

The Wrong Voice
By Greg Laurie

He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Ephesians 1:6

Like the pain we feel when we step on a sharp piece of glass, guilt is our moral warning system.

Guilt is not necessarily a bad thing, because it is a reaction to something in our lives that is not right. But sometimes the devil can use guilt to drive us to despair.

This is why it is important to distinguish between Satan's accusations and the Spirit's conviction. A feeling of guilt and shame is not a bad thing if it comes from the Spirit of God. But if it drives us to despair and hopelessness, then we have listened to the wrong voice.

The devil will accuse us, saying that we are not worthy to approach God. May I be blunt? We were never worthy. We will never be worthy. On our best day, we weren't even close to being worthy.

As believers, we have been made acceptable to God through what Christ did for us on the cross. We have been made acceptable in the Beloved. It is because of Jesus that we can come to God.

So don't ever let the devil's accusations drive you away from the cross, where you will find forgiveness.

You have a choice. The next time you sin, you can either give up in despair, or you can come back to the Lord and repent.

Remember this simple truth: Satan will always seek to drive you away from the cross, but the Holy Spirit will always draw you back to the cross.

Wow, I really needed this. =)

Sims 3 is awesome.
