You gotta be kidding me! (Part One)

My friend Allison posted on Facebook about this website that lets you find a celebrity that most looks like you.

Ooooooh...this was going to be fahhhhhhhhhn!
HAH! Let's see who they think I look like!

I knew someone had told my daughter Joni, one of the Celebrity Lookalike websites had said she looked like Melanie Thornton, the Pussy Cat Doll.

Nehhhh....

The website I checked said she closest resembled Beyonce (I think it was a high 90% likeness).
Oooh, I bet my daughter would so like that.

(Cos Joni herself is a singer - don't believe me? Her band, Under Headlights, has so far produced two singles, "Jangan Kau Tiada" and "For Sure". You can check out their website. How creative these people are! But then again, I'm her mother and slightly biased :)
... slightly. But oh so proud of 'em.) So where was I? Oh.




What do you think?






























Yes, I was starting to like this website alright...

It also said Joni looked like Hayden Panittiere. Okay, this is getting interesting...











But I always thought Joni looked a lot like Eva Longoria, y'know? So I got Desperate and looked for photos on my own and matched them:



See the pic below....

Doesn't she, doesn't she?







So cute I can't stand it.

(Who do you think Joni resembles the most?)

Ok, so this was getting to be really fun. And mischievous me just had to, right???

So I took the few shots I have of myself (mind you, close up shots are obviously preferred, so that left me with even fewer options)...

and the very FIRST one was this:













and it said I looked like..

HEY!

I mean-



HEY!!!




















His eyes are not like mine!
His nose is far off! literally.
His lips are so much thinner!
and.. and..his wrinkles!
And his EYEBROWS!!

AAAAARRRRRGHHH!!!!!










NOW WAIT A MINUTE MISTER.....(I mean the website, not the poor man in the picture that I do not know at all, celebrity or not, and don't care to know. And I don't know if he would be more insulted than I was! Maybe I'll find out where he is and post this to him...)

After the initial shock, I knew they must have done that on purpose, just to whet my vain appetite, y'know? hmmph.


Other suggestions got better...

Zoe Tay

Mandy Moore



So, with my interest thoroughly piqued, I looked for other photos I could use.

Shirley MacLaine


You have to google your own celebrity lookalike website cos I had great difficulty downloading these photos from different ones. And then I forgot where I got what from....but for starters you can try http://celebrity.myheritage.com/FP/Company/try-face-recognition.php

Again, be sure your photo is a large close up, preferably of you alone, not standing with another person. I discovered that the hard way.....



Ozzy Osbourne



They were saying that the kids' hot air balloon craft resembled Ozzy Osbourne! hahahahaha!







How do I know they were not referring to me? Cos they said in this photo, I looked like



...............................................................................................................................Perez Musharraf - 57%





=.= sigh.

Who needs to look like a celebrity anyway? Aren't we all uniquely beautiful? wink wink.

My Husband and Me - Our Colourful Differences

Paul, my husband....sighhhhhhhhhhhhh...

We've had 25 years of marital blizzard..oops, I mean, blisssssssssssssssssss (can you hear the snake onomatopoeia?) How in the world our marriage is still surviving I donno. I'm a-tellin' ya, it's been grace and grace alone.

"Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century. "~Mark Twain Huh? How come I've been married a quarter of a century and I still don't know what perfect love is? If anything at all, I know what IMperfect love is.

We are as different as can be. Which of course, all you married people out there are going to affirm is the same with you and your spouse, too. Then you're gonna say how opposites attract and blah blah. Then you're gonna say that's what makes the world go round or something...

If we eat out, my husbandsigh goes Indian MOST of the time. I want Chinese food. If we watch a funny show, he wants the slapstick 3-Stooges kind. I want the kind where if you're not paying close attention to the words, you lose the wit. If we're thinking of a holiday, he'd be happy to bum in front of a TV in a hotel room in the evening while I'd want to paint the town red. He'd want to go cold (Fraser's, Cameron Highlands), I'd want HOT - beach beach and more beach.



My husbandsigh thinks in black and white ("just paint the bedroom one colour lah").


I think in colour ("there's no reason why the ceiling should be white," "why can't we fix the clock on the ceiling - makes more sense to me").


My husbandsigh posing with "Indra Gandhi" at the wax museum in south India..
Me, posing at same wax museum.

Isn't the sumo wrestler more....drama? Yes!

If there was something to do, my husband will just............well....do it. (IF he does it lah)





I will be thinking of how to do it with FLAIR...


If my husbandsigh were to go out on a whim and buy himself say...a bike, he'd probably get this:




And I would get this of course:






"C'mon guys, give me the most macho pose you can!" I say.


My husbandsigh's idea of a macho posy..sorry, pose.



How did we end up getting married? I'm tellin' ya, it was that flashing smile that must've done it.

Want proof?

So, yeah....sometimes, the journey seems really long.

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. ~Paul Sweeney
But our differences is cause to celegrate...oops..I mean celebrate. I think.

Cheers.
