Babyface

Sleepy has been told umpteenth times that she lks much younger than her age which has prompted her thinking that she shd try to ask for student price @ salons or facial places in future haha. But it has yet to be tried... :P

Luckily Dar also dun exactly lk his age either or it will be kinda like him bringing a 小妹妹 out haha! Guess I took after mummy's genes coz mummy also looked much younger than her age and I remember some of her friends commenting then that she looked much younger than the 4 years diff b/w her and Daddy. And since young, Jie has looked pretty mature; I remember I put this photoshoot of us in my hostel and a fren asked me if she was my aunt!!! gosh!!! I am only like 1.5 years younger than her leh!!! But perhaps when she stands next to babyfaced me, she really looked much older haha.

But in some ways it is not so good to have a babyface coz like Dar says, don't have so much credibility. Especially since I am working in the banks, and sometimes gota explain some policies or procedures to customers and they see me as small fry and immediately say they wana talk to Manager!!! but i am also q gald that I don't hafta entertain their rubbish anymore hee hee. Anyways, this conversation happened in the office the other day when my CSO asked me to go down to override her transaction:

cx: wah, so young can do overidding of transactions ah...
me: (didnt reply as I was checking the transaction)
cx: (cont'd) now staff getting younger, so young already has the authority to overide...
me: (grins) I am not as young as I look...
cx: issit? u r @ the most 30 plus...
me: HUH?? I am not even 30 lors...

Honestly i didn't know whether to be insulted or amused!!! Do i already look 30 plus? How horrifying!!!
