Do i have such a recognisable face?
Yest at Matric fair 1 or 2 pple came up and said they recognise me from somewhere. Today, I saw my old neighbour's father who also recognised me! Even more surprising, I went to top-up the card for my driving lessons and the instructor at the service desk just rattled off my user-ID when he saw me walk in!!! During Matric Fair I met CKang, fortunately he recognised and greeted me, unlike the other pri sch classmate which I complained abt in one of my previous blogs. It's pleasant to know that pple remember you lol.
I think I was pretty much out-going in Pri and Sec sch. Only in JC then I hid in the shadows. Too many "stars" around at that time.
but well lets discuss a bit abt "faces/looks" cos recently I was quite put off during some incidents when someone I knew kept talking to the friend/s beside me and totally ignored my existence! I don't quite understd these ppl. If it's someone u know how hard is it to start a conversation? Even if you don't quite like the person, surely you can still make some friendly chat? To ignore that person is disgusting. Don't you think it's all very superficial if you keep talking to the cute pretty girls/guys only?
Back to being recognisable. I'm not the cute/pretty type, definitely not. I'm the tough cookie, hard to crack kind. But I think my 20 years of experience has shown me that I do have quite a distict looking face. I don't look quite Singaporean. Many ppl have guessed Chinese, Philippino, Eurasian, Malay etc. At CF, LYen introduced me to the uncle and had to add that "She's Chinese, don't worry". Leng's friend once asked her "Your maid ar?" All these goes to show. Recently a friend commented that my face is quite "chi xiang", I'm not very sure what that means but I think it means "sinks well with others"/ maybe "recognisable"?
Since I'm so recognisable, I think I shld pay more attention to my dressing. One friend wrote in her blog that I've got "no dress sense at all", "wears in old school t-shirts etc". How cld she say that?! I don't wear old sch tees except at home. but yeah, I think i really got to start worrying abt my wadrobe cos I realise I dressed REALLY bad at camp as well as when gg for driving lessons...which sums up as most of the time :-(
