me and my pictures

warning! narcissistic post ahead! 🙂

ok ok, methink it is time i brighten up this blog, ‘beautify’ this blog, made it more appealing and attractive at a glance when you come in. how? why, of course by showing you my ~~lenglui~~ mugshot. ahem!! yep, i’m the narcissistic one, so need to have MY picture on MY blog.

if you go to my old blog at blogger, the one with the url jogalong (where many people mistaken it as my blog’s name), you’ll notice i have not only 1 but 2 pictures of myself. initially i just want to have 1 up… that pretty one but then that picture doesn’t reflect the real me… er… now you know the truth… the real me is not that pretty. haha. as i mentioned in my old blog, that picture was taken after i had a makeover (make-up and hairdo) and had a profesionnal photographer taking my pictures (that was not the only picture taken at that time – i have others with different poses).

so i decided to have a very natural picture of me up so that people won’t get misleaded by the supposedly pretty me. haha. what better way to be natural than a picture taken just after i woke up at home. yep, the other photo, below the pretty one, as mentioned in my blogger blog, was taken by myself with my camera phone.

now, with this new blog, i have a hard time thinking which pictures to put up. should i put up this ‘just woke up’ picture that i used to have in my old blog? but then i was thinking i should put up my latest picture. well, because i had lost my purse, i need to re-make mykad and driving license, so i need to have my picture taken. beginning of april, i made my mykad but the picture there look so ugly, as it was taken so close up, and it shows my fat face… what with double chin and all. will show you the picture when i collected my mykad… or not!

well, in mid april this year i had my picture taken to make driving license, and it seemed that the pictures turned out nicely (taken at the photo studio)… there you have it – the picture you see below – my latest picture. sui, boi? (if you don’t understand that, never mind).

so i make up my mind to have that picture up permenantly on my blog at the sidebar. however, just as i was about to do it, i remember this particular picture of mine which i like it very much. it was a picture taken by myself with my camera phone in my office. taken 2 years ago. see…

more sui than the one taken in the photo studio eh! (‘sui’ btw, means ‘pretty’. ahem!).

so i decided to have this picture up instead of the recent one… but to give an air of mystery to it, i prefer to put this one up yeah, same picture but it was re-edit to ‘light water colour rendition’ by the photoshop expert, wits0.
