Alter ego

This week topic makes me realise more about myself, Does that occurs to you guys? 

I'm pretty sure everyone of you starts to think about what you are and who you are. and it makes me realise that I DO have different personalities even without realising it. A lot of people who just met me for the first time will just that I'm tough, independent and strong. Besides what people think of, I'm actually  very vulnerable on the inside. Since young I was overseas and I have to learn to be independent but at times, you just want someone to support and count on. As time goes by, I adapt to be tough but still fragile.

 Also, when I happy I love to dress up but when i'm gloomy i'm more of tomboyish type of fashion. Maybe that because of what I am. Being who I want to be without having in mind what type of personality I should have. 

Alter Ego

How me and others reflect myself

How myself could be ;p

Understanding yourself sometimes can be tough and defining your alter ego is even harder. People perceives you as what you show them daily. When you laugh often, they see you as a cheerful one. When you talk to much, they will see you as a talkative one. It's like a stigma, leads to a behavior you act on and what people perceives as your original personality. Then here it comes your second ego, without you realizing it. Alter the "normal" to the other side of yourself. It  is the same feeling when you see how Clark Kent in his office suit and glasses transforms into superhero with masculine image. I think it is quite good illustration to show you what alter ego is. So, alter ego can bring you a more positive personality or adversely.

For me, it kinda hard to describe myself and so does my alter ego. I try to presents it in those pictures. My silly faces and poses, my glasses that never leave my face and also my unready expression are my primary personality (that's what i think). What others rarely see is that I could be another person when I put down my glasses, make up on my face, and have a pose in front of my camera (without anyone in the room). I can be completely different and I can say it as a little bit wild.

Alter Ego

This week's theme, Alter Ego, is quite challenging and interesting (kudos for the blog's administrator for coming up with the theme). The first thing that came to my mind when I heard the term was "superheroes" (as in Clark Kent for Superman, Peter Parker for Spiderman, etc). However, upon further research, I realized that alter ego can be more than just superheroes, it can be deeper than that. So, here are my takes on this week's theme:

PS: Special thanks to Nicolas Dicky and Steven Salim for supplying the ideas and modelling for the pictures. You guys rock

The Man in the Mirror
People have different opinions on you. You might be a nerd, a cool guy, a drama queen, a pervert, a playboy, or whatever you're known as out there. Some people might find you funny, some might find you offensive. Some might find you friendly, some might find you intrusive.
Among these different yous, the most important is the you you see in yourself. The you you know the most. (Now that's a lot of yous) 

Mask
People wear masks. Some people wear it everyday, some people don't. Some people expect others to wear it, some people don't. Usually, those masks are smiling-face masks. Behind those masks, there are faces, faces that are kept from the rest of the world.

Confidence. I would say my alter ego is to be confident. The photo explains itself, doesn't it? I looked like very confident in the photo, while I am actually not at all! In my normal life, I would rather to be quite to strangers and new people, and that is why I always feel awkward talking to strangers. But well, as I am getting along with my friends, I feel pretty confident with myself :) So, heaps thanks to all my friends for letting me show my confident-me! :)

PS: I don't actually think that it is my alter ego, but I guess that's the best that I can write. So yeah, if you have any comments, I will be more than happy to hear (or read) it :)

Poker Face

Okay, to be clear, I am not now nor I have been, a fan of Lady Gaga.

In this world full of nameless faces, there's no one truth but only pieces. Honesty might not the best policy and wearing mask of deception could sometimes be the best strategy. I might look about as cheerful as ever, but don't get fooled. Nobody will ever know if it's a sincere expression of happiness or a mere irony.

Shy

Everyone has a different side of themselves, whether they realized it or not. In my case, although I looked like a very confident, cool, outgoing, active, self-centered person, sometimes arrogant and emotional (at least that's what I think my friends think about me), I am a very shy person! In some situations, especially when I'm surrounded with new people, I feel that my hands are getting cold, my heart beats so loudly, I cannot talk!! In some cases, I even feel that my cheek is turning red, it's burning! A friend of mine told me that it is not good, how could I find a boyfriend if I am very shy. But, I just can't help it! But the good thing is, once I feel comfortable with people around me, I eventually become casual with them and forget this shy side of mine. :)
