on getting a new face-lift...

nope, not extreme makeover. Just went to collect my new identification card ( I.C., pronounced "aye see"/‘爱吸') ah, this afternoon. Yea for 13 years, lived with a geeky image of myself from my junior college days on my IC -

Before

Yeaps, dunno what was I thinking at that time. Think I was kinda self-conscious of my high forehead back in younger days, and tried to do a comb-over.* And for some reason, I don't really how to smile in portrait shots, that's why the extra-constipated look.**

 Anyway, for those who are Singaporean citizens who made their ICs before they reached the age of 20, they are required BY LAW to change a new IC when they hit 30. So upon reaching the magical age, being much wiser about self-branding/imaging, this is the "a-jack" version 1.1:

After

Much smarter right? More composed, less constipated. At least now can see the outline of my nose. A pity there's no color on the IC still. No matter how I look at them, both the portrait-shots reminds me of funeral pictures... :P

* the Sakura-complex, for all those who are Naruto-otaku, they will know what I mean...

** People always wondered why I always make funny faces when my photographs are being taken. Well, now they know, I don't look good when I smile :D
