Ian was popping nuts into his mouth atop the baby chair, as the adults made small talk while waiting for the restaurant’s waiters to bring food to the table.
“Well, I can’t quite see where he gets his thick lips from,” observed my aunt.
Both my brother and his wife then turned to me as one, pointing at me. I nearly choked on my chinese tea.

Wonderful, is it not, that others can see so much more than what you usually see from the mirror. We have become so accustomed, so used to seeing ourselves every day, that we neglect the very things that make us, us.
The truth has always been right in front of you; yet in some ways, still remain elusive.
Then again, I reckon my lips are not as thick as Angelina Jolie’s or Amber Chia’s, in order to attract considerable fame and fortune…

But more similar still are their eyebrows.
however, thick lips she has but pouty lips are the domain of ms. jolie and chia.
Nikki-ann – Heh heh.. kids say the darndest things! :D
Keat – They’re not!
Tim Frost – Ack! What is it about the eyebrows?
Soporific – So you think I have thick lips, too? Noooooo!... Then again, it’s not really a, uhm, bad thing, eh?
Shom – Sigh… looks like I have to resign to the fact that I do have somewhat thick lips…
Temi – Yikes! No thanks. :P

Ali – Heh heh. No worries. Who knows, vanity might take over one day…
