bu yao lian and act cute

(bu yao lian = shameless)

Am slacking again when I'm supposed to be doing reading for my essay

Was suddenly reminded of an incident when Liz and I were talking about how we tend to see the worse in ourselves but are able to see the best (or at least better) points of others.

Was telling her that I wouldn't want to look like anybody else because I like my face. My figure, however, is another thing altogether > . <

She said that if she looked like me, she wouldn't want to look like someone else either, because I have 'interesting features'. She went on to say that I have big eyes, which have a unique shape and not the typical anime kind of big eyes.

"Huh!? Big meh??" was my immediate reaction. I've never thought I have big eyes - and in fact have been teased for my small eyes disappearing in photos when I smile. After that incident I always remember to keep my eyes open when I smile.

She then commented on my nose, which she said was straighter than normal. Hmm. My nose has never been one of my favourite features - and I remember wishing fervently during a period when I disliked my looks a lot (thank God that has passed) that my nose was smaller and more elegant, and that my nostrils didn't show when one looked at me straight on.

After her comments, though, I think I like my nose a little bit more now - it is rather straight, and it's not bulbous, like some noses I've seen. And I suddenly remember an incident when a colleague of mine from SGH asked if I'd had work done on my nose before, because it's so straight! I still don't think my eyes are big, though - just average-sized, I suppose.

My favourite facial features are my double eyelids, my eyelashes, and my lips. I didn't have double eyelids when I was younger. They only 'grew out' when I was in my late teens. Strange, huh? As for my lashes - they're quite long and voluminous. My mom used to keep asking me if I wear fake lashes! Hello, I don't even wear mascara! Lol. These days she remembers, though, and doesn't ask me that anymore.

I used to hate what I saw as my 'fat' lips too, but now I like them. Liz said that my lips are a unique shade of pink. Huh? Oh well, nevermind.

I think Liz has interesting features, too. And she is pretty!

Edit: Liz just reminded me that she didn't say that my nose is straight, but sharp. xP
