LookS

This evening, I decided to blog about my own looks, which is a topic which i seldom touch on, not to mention on my blog. I wudnt be surprised if anyone of you shld immediately sense fragments of Narcissism and Egoism in me.

Truthfully speaking, I have never ever thought i belong to the good looking category. Probably since young most relatives and family friends would praise on my brother's good looks (better looks than me) instead of focussing on me. I am already been soooo used to it.

Lately, there seem to be quite a number of ppl commenting on my looks. Firstly, my colleagues said that I look very tired, stressed and sickly. The above pic was taken a few minutes ago, and one could tell i am really getting very pale (although free from porkmarks and pimples). Do I really look very sickly these days?

On the brighter side, a handful of ppl have been saying that i resemble a certain chinese pop star every now and then. Although it was abt 2 yrs ago when my frens in NUS first started talking abt the resemblence, the topic kinda resurfaced in my life after dying down for abt a yr.

Firstly, it was Mr Lim who mentioned abt the resemblence when i went to his house the very first time for meditation. Next, its from a gal whom i met in Ven Kaizhao's Hu Fa camp. Then came a NYPBS gal who mentioned abt it at Dickson's house. Also, my colleagues are talking abt it practically everyday cos my company is now displaying some charity posters that bear this pop star's pic in it.....and finally, somebody's blog.

Instead of feeling flattered or happy, I kinda feel embarassed and paiseh about it. Firstly, I am not half as good looking as he is (so u wud expect some ppl to give me those puking faces when others told them abt the resemblence), and secondly, i am much older than he is. Thirdly, I look so sickly these days and fourthly, I dun like to be judged by looks.

But still, I admit that I do pay quite a bit of attention on my looks, but my key factors are always on neatness and pleasantness ie. Long untidy hair is a BIG NO for guys. As mentioned before in my blog, I sometimes dress up to make myself feel good and fresh (ie coloured hair + earings), instead of dressing up to impress. Believe it or not, but i know i am telling the truth.
