Motley crew.

Flipping through a colleague's wedding album, tried to figure out the faces of her "sisters", and those of her husband's "brothers". Was wondering about the kind of friends she hung out with, especially those close enough, to have been chosen as "sisters" and "brothers". Thought her "sisters" looked like girls next door, kinda sweet, one of them reminded me of Edna, tall and slim with refined features. As for his "brothers", like him, all had a construction worker look, worker bee sort. Heh. Actually, I thought the husband looked like someone -- which is weird, when I think about how the girl always seems to be at loggerheads with the female lookalike of her husband. Heh. Heh.

Then, I wondered about my own motley crew of "sisters"; and what people would, by association, think of me. Think I would want faces that each exude their own brand of charisma and attitude. No nondescript, blah faces (i.e. guai lan is better than lau lan), thank you very much.

I guess if everyone had unique facial features, or even a unique combination, the world population wouldn't be as high. So, it's certainly easy to find resemblances everywhere we look. And some faces are more common than others (like mine) -- if you think you've just seen me somewhere, don't just make eye contact and hope I'll acknowledge you, it may just be my lookalike who thinks you're trying to be funny. Laugh!

roddy: who's the fish btw?
i: fish lor, one head 2 gills 1 tail hehe

Go fish, Roddy.

SF was telling me about someone whose ex used to be some NUS Manhunt winner, except that she didn't seem too happy, and was always looking out for other girls while she was with him.. Honestly, looking at her, I couldn't tell (that her ex won the Manhunt). But I guess it's true that some guys are like the proverbial cat who will not reject the fish placed before them, that they will take whatever lands in their lap, or in her case, perhaps whoever had been most persistent in the pursuit.

SF said something which made a lot of sense: if the girl did the pursuing, she may never know how much the guy liked her. Or in other words, you can tell how much, by the effort he put into pursuing his object of affection. So, nevermind the emancipated female, the overturning of traditional structures, and the guy who tells you it's flattering to be pursued by a female, some things are still done better when they're done the "old" way.

Of course, any suggestions in this department of my life are most welcome ;-D
