So, I just encountered the most bullshit thing ever in my whole life.
Her boyfriend doesn't let Her talk to other guys.
And the reason is that He is afraid She would like another guy.
Whats the point of Him dating Her if He doesn't trust Her?
She is like a prisoner, stuck behind imaginary bars; keeping her away from the outside world.
I felt terrible for her.

Church.
A place where I knew God better.
 A place where I found confidence.
A place where friendship grew.
A place where I learnt to share.
A place where I wasn't afraid to speak out.
Going to church changed me inside out.
I remembered when I first came to youth with Jonathan.
Back then, I barely knew my school mates and was shy.
Being shy isn't abnormal for me because I'm a very shy person especially talking to girls.
I swear I would freeze and probably say something stupid.
I remembered when they told everyone I can draw well and Aunty Kee Lay gave me this opportunity to design the invitation card and backdrop for the watch night 2009. I was trying very hard to reject it because I wasn't confident enough to take such a responsibility and feared I would screw up the whole thing.
I believe it was God's plan to change me and I told myself,
"Why not I give it a shot and hope for the best?"
So, I took that opportunity to design the invitation card and the backdrop.
Because I usually draw things or words that went thru my head during my dreams, this was a very challenging task when I have limited time and no inspiration.
When I drew the invitation card, my mind was totally blank. I tried googling for cards and designs but non of them really caught my eyes. This thing went on for few hours and I promised Angeline to email her the design at 10pm. When I finally came out with the final design, it was almost 2am and poor Angeline had to wait for me to get the soft copy. She didn't blame me for keeping her waiting for hours and I apologized continuously until I was done sending her the design via email.
I remembered it was 30th of December. My birthday.
After a quick celebration, I rushed to church with my mouth still full of cake thinking I was late and everyone might be waiting for me. When I finally reached, they were half done with the decorations and the other stuffs. I quickly started designing the backdrop as it was a last minute thing. So, I sketched out quite a few pieces of raw artwork and finally decided that this would be the best of all.
After this memorable event, my confidence really boosted up. Almost everyone was telling me about the backdrop and tells me this piece is very special.
I always thought church was a boring place to be in. I was damn wrong. I was once misleaded by people telling me youth fellowship is a very boring thing now I can prove them dead wrong now.
