We had an interesting church service on Sunday. A reverend preached about Homosexuality.

Interestingly, his man who is now working as a counsellor at church was a gay in the past but has successfully “converted”. His clients are people who have issues in sexual orientation. Some interesting facts that he shared were:

1) They are not born homosexual. There is no evidence that shows that homosexuality is simply genetic.

2) Parenting plays an important role. Children who have sensitive temperament need more attention and love from parent. They are also likely to be very creative and sensual. (My friend and I nudged each other when the speaker said this) -_-

3) Parents are to understand the child’s love language. Eg, if a parent who always beat the child whose love language is TOUCH, the child’s “love tank” (heart) is likely to be empty. Hence, likely to seek dependency and “love” from someone else.

It was my first time knowing about “love language”. There are five of them: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch. Do a test here.

I am not very sure what mine is because the result keeps changing, depending on my mood at different time. -_-

Generally, I love hugs. I like to hug more than being hugged actually. But, I am very careful in hugging people since I come to Singapore because I was warned that I may send wrong signals to people! But I still do to friends whom I know very well. I tell you…hug is very very therapeutic!

Since I can’t hug people as often now, I give a tight squeeze on people’s arm instead and look into the person’s eyes as if I am hugging him/her. Depending on how close I am with him/her though. For guys, I am more likely to give a pat on the back with a bit pressing and squeezing on the shoulder.

However, if you think people whose love language is touch like to “touch” people, then you may want to think twice. I don’t like to touch people whom I don’t really know (because touch means a LOT to me). In fact, I must remain that ‘x’ cm distance from the person when talking and walking. I can’t stand people talking to me while I can feel his/her breathe on my face!

Mm….so was I the “sensitive” and “sensual” child? Now I know why my friend nudged me. Mmm….-_-

So do you know yours?
