I met a bunch of old schoolmates. To which two girls tapped me on the shoulder and, with an expression of shock and hand covering mouth, went, “Oh my God! ALBERT!”<\/p>\n
I mockingly did the same back to them.<\/p>\n
“You look so different!”<\/p>\n
Ah yes, what could be more complimenting than girls acknowledging that I have:<\/p>\n
1) eyebags
\n2) longer-than-a-schoolboy hair<\/p>\n
They looked the same, just with different hairstyles. I was still taller than them. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Later, in a moment of silence, I pondered the previous meets with schoolmates I had not met for 3 years. Guys would go, “Haha you still<\/i> look exaaactly the same. Never changed.” (This was very recent, with my longer hair…)<\/p>\n
Then I thought of a bunch of girls I bumped into KLCC. They said I looked very different, (and much better, at that!) even though that was much earlier in the year, and I was still visiting my Indian barber.<\/p>\n
Conclusion?<\/p>\n
Girls know what to say when they meet old acquiantances. “You look so different!<\/i>”<\/p>\n
Guys are unobservant idiots. “You look exactly the same!<\/i>” (Except me lah, I could tell the difference… unless guys tend to change more after school or something.)<\/p>\n
Edited 14:11 hours 18th November 2003: We also bumped into a church friend of a friend. Ironically, he was selling insurance! Odd. Faith is about optimism, while insurance is about pessimism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
