Do I Look My Age?

Weih... kenapa smlm ramai org terkezut aku masih 20-an nih? Ada kah :

(a) PhD has started taking its toll on me? I have been warned that a PhD usually knocks off a couple of years and it shows on your face and hair

(b) Kamera digital skang berteknologi tinggi sgt. Apa2 flaws pon jelas kelihatan

(c) Aku x fotogenik. Sbnarnya kat luar I nmpk muda sgt tau! Like, 17. Honest! *barf!*

(d) Aku mmg manusia cpt matang

(e) I make friends with a lot of senior and wiser friends yg sgt jeles I masih 20-an you!

(e) My frumpy appearance telah menyebabkan aku nmpk tua dari umur sebenarnya?

Wah bahaya nih. In an effort to 'fix' this, aku dress up sket lah ke lab hari ni. What do you think? Btw, I am very much a true believer in natural beauty, just pakai moisturizer je everyday, but maybe dah kena make up sakan if people started saying I look mid-thirties! But you gotta agree, at this angle, itu cheekbones masih nmpk lg kan despite all the chubbiness and bolat-ness?



Tp sebenarnya aku rasa ada jg kaitan dgn sbb dah jd mak org. Walaupon aku teringin nak jadi Hot Mama or Yummy Mummy, sometimes rasanya mcm kena terima hakikat kot, I am just not that. I am very laid-back, and I always choose comfort over fashion (read: Granny's panties).

Plus, mcm mana la nak nmpk makin muda, sah2 anak dara sunti aku tu pon dah nmpk makin besar. Defying logic la plak kan kalo aku makin muda. Tgk aje lah foto2 di bawah. She looks quite tall and well over two years old!








Apa pon, aku bersyukur sbb aku masih sihat dan semangat bertenaga. Cuma kena terus kan usaha mengurangkan berat badan je la kot huhu...

Oh to those yg selama ni aku refer with first name, maaf byk2. Maklumlah, di alam virtual ni info yg kita ada ni limited, so pada yg nmpk muda belia tu aku x refer as kakak. Bak kata Halim Yazid dlm lagu Dikir Barat 'Untuk Semua Peminat' nya:

Kalo adik muda, panggil Abg Halim
Bole2 jg, nak panggil Cik Halim
Kalo lebih tua, saya adik Halim,
Jgn bertukar rupa dgn org lain...

Di olah semula:

Kalo adik muda, saya Akak Oyis
Bole2 jg, nak panggil Puan Oyis
Kalo lebih tua, saya Adik Oyis
Jgn salah sangka, saya masih dlm twenties! ;P

PS: Aku adalah sgt dikir barat (and all things traditional) junkie okeh? :)

PSS: Sbnarnya nak buat keja lain, tp terbabas buat blog entry sbb I am very nervous and jittery at the moment psl nak gi Barcelona tu. A close Msian friend of mine kat UK ni is also going to Barcelona during that same time, but at a different conference. Wouldn't it be exciting kalo bole pergi together2? Tgh tggu confirmation drpd beliau sampai x leh pikir hehehe
