My friend, @iamjadeline came across this contest and she encouraged me to join. I know I can't draw well and I think I am born without the creative sense,  or rather lesser in that sense,  because I can't draw,  sing,  dance or play music.  So for me,  I have always been searching for my talent, which I yet to find much Hahaha.  I'm also a less confident person, so for this challenge,  I deliberately move out of my "shell" of being a ***non-artistic*** person,  or so my brain has told me all these years, because I have failed many arts assignment in high school.  Maybe that's why my brain told me I'm not meant for art,  and I took up science stream instead.

Below are my warm up exercises #1 and #2:

I have tried to draw many other ideas out,  but because they really do not look like what I had in mind,  I had to just move on till I thought maybe I can draw a brain. I'm a science student so I did learnt how to draw it as I was studying it: cereburum,  cerebellum, hypothalamus etc. 

This is how this piece is produced.

<center>*A closer look of the picture I drew*</center>

Next,  a thought came to my mind about how we guard our words and thought life.  For: 

>Out of the abundance of our hearts,  our mouths speak.  

>Life and death lies in the power of the tongue.  

These two quotes or verses are the guards of my life. I can still be careless with my words and thoughts but these two would remind me that I can be better.  I need not be mediocre, rude,  and cold-hearted.  I can think and speak things of life like encouragements,  supports and love. The words I speak to myself are also important. In times of difficult times,  I want to think that I can motivate and encourage myself too. I strive to make this world a better place for those around me. STRIVE is the word because I can sink in my feelings if I want and be swallowed by them.  However,  I want to be above my feelings and not let my feelings rule me, so I can still do good in hurtful and disappointed times. I truly believe I can be empowered to rise above situations, even when I am weak.  I have Jesus who is strong in me and has faith in me more than I can have faith in Him. 

I feel very tired at the end of the drawing.  Haha it felt like I have exhausted almost all of my brain juice,  especially in thinking of the patterns. As you can see,  I used most of the patterns suggested by @jacinta.sevilla. Hence,  thank you @jacinta.sevilla for organizing this contest.  It is therapeutic, like what she mentioned. It literally quiet down my whole world, my inner world.
