Celebrity Messed Up

aI was bored (as always hahaha...) so I decided to blogsurf and I came to Sabrina's blog through the link from Pauline's. I saw her post about celebrity-look-alike, so (since I'm super bored) I decided to try it out. It's on this site called MyHeritage and they use face recognition technology to search for your celebrity twins so to say...hahaha! But then again, they are still in beta so sometimes things can get messed up...sigh...

Anyway, you guys still remember my Haircut entry? Well, I used some of the pictures for my little experiment since they are quite wacky...hahahaha...well, for the first test I used the normal pic...the one that somehow (frighteningly) seemed to make me look like a girl!...So I thought, hmm...bound to be some chick-celebrities that look like me will come out as the result...BUT, surprise...surprise...


Jericho Rosales?!! Kim Rae Won?!!...Hahahahaha...see, who's girlie now? Wakakakaka...I know it doesn't mean anything but it's great to know that I'm place at the same level (at least in facial-contours term) with all these hearthrobs! Woohooo!...a great ego booster...not that I'm egoistic at all (...yeah right...*snort*...) hahahaha...

Then, for the second test, I used the punk pic...still remember? The one with spiky hair and very seductive eyes (according to Pauline)? After the first one, I guessed my celebrity twins will definitely be another bunch of macho guys or cool hunks...hahahaha...vanity...BUT! But...another shock la...


Kate Winslet?!! Katie Holmes?!! Aiyoyo! I looked like Tom Cruise's wife? And...and...it's a bunch of girls!! Hot gals nonetheless...but...sigh...Enrique Iglesias is the only good sign...hahaha...But honestly, Kate Winslet ciplak my pose!! Our eyes are the same!! Eerie...in a way...and I wonder who is Phyllis Quek?...Well, expect the unexpected...totally the opposites of what I had in mind...hahahaha...but it's great fun...

Finally, just to test their accuracy, I put Brad Pitt's pic for recognition...and..


Luckily...I was hoping for another far-fetch pic of other celebrities except Brad himself...hahaha...but why only 76%? Brad Pitt's not even himself nowadays...hahahaha...may be the glasses...Anyway...all of you should try it out! Have fun with your twins...*wink*...hahaha...

P/S: A new song is playing on the Juke Box! It's "Always On Your Side" by Sheryl Crow & Sting...this is a song that really make me fall in love at first sight...or...when I first listened to it...took me some time to find...cause not that well-known and I only have its chorus to start with...but it's worth it! Enjoy and give me your opinions...

Juke Box...

Hahahaha...finally! I'd just added a new feature to my little bloggie...the Juke Box is right at the bottom of the blog and currently the song is "This Is My Now" by Jordin Sparks, the winner of American Idol Season 6! She rocks!

In a way, I think all of us can relate to this song...it's like the beginning of a long journey, a realization that all the hardwork and effort we put in are finally culminating and yet there's still a vast world to explore...also about letting the past go, having no regrets and being optimistic. Well, we are the youths, so I guess we should take on life the best we can, cause this is our now!

Oh, and if you guys feel the music bugs like I did, the lyric of the song is just under the chatbox...so sing along! Do tell me what you think of the song okay. Enjoy!

Back & Never Better

Arghhh! I give up! I give up! Why is Civilization IV so hard to install?! So many complicated stuffs…sigh…gone were the days when you just slap the CD in and you can start playing. Now, it’s crack this…copy that…extract this…restore that…ARGHHH! WTF! I’m bored so let me just play the damn game!

Oh…hahahahaha…hello, sorry…I’m easily frustrated la…especially when I’m bored and the weather is soooooo hot. It’s been two days since I came back from KL, couldn’t find the right time to blog when there’s the American Idol finale to watch. Jordin rocks! Cute too…hehehe…*blushing*…


This is the pic that was in the Star Newspaper...hahaha...mind that smug expression...it's the camera man's fault...hahaha~

Well, the scholarship ceremony was fun. I finally met all the other award recipients, they are cool people! But we (the communication scholars) pretty much did all the talking and introducing affair. Here’s a list of the people that I remembered:

1. Tash (my outrageously waffle-loving friend)
2. Julia @ Jules (she made an entrance cause she was late for the rehearsel…hahaha)
3. Kean Boon (a business dude who sat beside me…AC Nielson sponsored him…doing marketing)
4. Daniel (another business dude sponsored by DHL…he’s from Kedah too…but now in KL…he studied in Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid!)
5. Kong Hooi (simply because his name is exactly the same as my friend’s from high school…)
6. Lianne (my BRATs mate! The world is small…she’s sponsored by Air France…tourism thingy…)
7. Jolyn (great smile!)
8. Sim (cool dude but didn’t talk much…and Tash said he’s hot wor…hahahaha)
9. Suzzane (cute girl…nice braces…hahahaha…)
10. Zing Ying (Lianne’s friend…very polite and well mannered…)
11. Jenric (his name is soooo COOL!)

Actually there are more, there are 23 scholars all together, but those above are the ones that I can remember la…not that those not mention is less in any way…other than that, I got to know Desmond, who’s like the coordinator for the whole event, he’s great except when he said I walk like a robot on stage…


...the nerves got me…nervous ma…but that’s only during rehearsal la…he’s a cool dude…

After the ceremony, we had lunch and just loitered around, some of the scholars got interviewed by some media people…and the coolest thing was, me, Tash, Sim, Lianne, Mei Li and another guy (sorry can’t remember your name…) were invited for a photo shoot for Campus Life magazine! OMG! My first real life photo shoot! And it’s for the magazine’s cover! How cool is that! We had so much fun and jaw cramps from all the smiling we had to do…hahahaha…To top it of, all of us were on national TV, even though it’s only the lame-o RTM2 la…

After all these, I’m most certain that I had made the right choice! Hahaha…I know… “Vanity, thy name is Leonard…”…


P/S: By the way, I just received your letter! Thanks Pauline for the postcard and the badge (“Got Brains?”)…love it! So cool and sarcastic…very me…hahaha…and the useful tips…Thanks again!

The Haircut

I've been getting quite a lot of motivations from you guys to post about my recent haircut, I was a bit tired from the last picture post (or camwhore post according to Pauline) because it took a long time to have the pictures uploaded...sigh...frustration comes easily for me hahaha...even now the pics are still uploading like snails...any suggestions to make them go faster?

Talking about my haircut, well, I usually get it done at a Malay barber shop for RM3 only...but that was when I have to have the very unflattering "crew-cut" hair because it's the school rule...it make me look as if I'm attending military school! But since graduation, I've been letting my hair grow long (everyone is doing it...it's like a sign of liberation after all those years of hair-opression...hahaha...) and have been frequenting this posh saloon called "Red2". Wow, my first time there was totally unforgettable, my hair have never been so appreciated! The way they wash it, cut it, blow dry it...it's hair-heaven!
The guy who cuts my hair is Jack...his hairstyles keep changing everytime I go there! Such FUN! The only thing I hate is when he wash my hair...when he lift my head to wash the back, his pinky (with long...sharp...fingernail) will always scratch my forehead...damn sakit! And he kept asking me to dye my hair...I wanted to, but Mum and Dad will definitely go balistic on me...sigh...maybe in KL...hehehehehe...

Anyway, no major changes to my hairstyle though from the last one. It is indeed shorter than last time...not so messy I guess...but still, Jack told me that it's not what kind of hairstyle you sport, but it's more of how you style it to suit the image you want to portray. Very deep lo...Okay, these are the pics that you guys have been waiting for...only some la and my various looks hahaha...don't want post so many pics...or else people say I camwhore pulak...hahahaha~

That's how it look like from the front...shorter at the sides...cause my hair will "kembang" la...outta control hair!

Now, here's the sideway-look, I'm keeping the sideburns and am totally in love with my fringe (is that the correct term?)...How? Nice ore not? Better than "durian-head" kut...

And here's the looks that I like...some are just plain silly la...hahaha...
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I normally would style my hair like this la...spiky hair...messy and just-got-outta-bed effects...it's more towards Punk la in a way...but it's cool! at least I think so...wakakaka. It's easy to do as well...sometimes I don't even have to look at the mirror...hahaha...very flexible la...how's the pose? Punk enough? Hahaha...

This is my Executive a.k.a. Sophisticated Businessman look. Have been sporting this style quite often lately, what with all those interviews and public speaking-thingy (I know...thingy...so what?!). And that's my own business suit! Bought it yesterday...cause I'm attending the Oscars...hahaha...no la...it's for the Taylor's Scholarship award ceremony la...having a business suit is always good...so how? Dashing? Suave? Debonair? Hahahaha...I so vain!

I admit the following look is just for fun la...or in Pauline's term, it's just a camwhore pic muahahaha...

This is the ultimate Nerdy look! Hahahaha...just wanna be silly la. That's my Dad's glasses by the way...I have perfect visison mind you. Love the tie over shoulder and that dumb*ss expression...hahahaha...now I'm officially Nerdy Nard liao...Oh I tried my best to do the mid-parting...but my hair's too short la...so not so obvious lo...you can stop laughing now...
.......................................
Well, that's about it la...it's just a normal haircut. You guys are so interested...wow my hair is famous now! Wakakaka~...hope you guys like it! Now, I'm hooked with camwhoring la...it's your fault Pauline! Hahaha...

Dad's Adventure in Gerik

Hmmph!...I'm bored la...everybody is starting school already. I feel so left out, July is still a long way away...I wonder what I should do. Sorry la guys, life has been sooooooo boring lately that nothing worth blogging about had happened...oh, about the "Haircut" post, I'm working on it la...hahaha...

In the meantime, here are some photos from my Dad expedition to Gerik, Perak. I was supposed to go with him, but I have to go for Taylor's interview...bummer right? Anyway enjoy the pics!

The expedition members...mostly MCA's people la...


Boat ride to the orang asli village...so cool!


Arriving..."look up there in the sky, it's a bird...it's a plane...it's the SUN la...wakakaka~"


My Dad...giving toys to the children...


That toy he's giving was my christmas present from him...it's great that little gestures can bring such joy...


My cousin's toy turtle also managed to spread some goodwill...lol...


After roaming the village...now it's as I said "Let's makan!"


Then it's swimming time...no skinny-dipping allowed though...wakakaka~


The villagers...how simple life is for them...


Sometimes, we forget how fortunate we are until we met those who are less fortunate than us, but they seemed happier in their own way...


The grass will always be greener on the other side, but still it's not a desert we are in...let's be grateful shall we?...


P/S: Oh...Dad is bringing me to a Thai cultural event soon (3oth of May)...he said it's like a tribute to their ancestors...it's sound interesting...and there's a promise of photos galore!

My Choice

Sorry about the absence from the blogsphere, I’ve been thinking very hard lately and making some difficult decision about the next step of my life. I’ve finally made up my mind and I’m so relieve now and also very happy with the choice that I’d made…

Yes, I’m talking about the dilemma of choosing between the Taylor’s scholarship and the JPA scholarship. First of all, I would like to thanks all my friends, fellow bloggers and voters who had been so helpful by giving me their thoughts, opinions and suggestions. I appreciate it very much. I would also like to apologize to Tash, Doreen, Wei Fen, Pn. Chan and Miss Josephine, the people that I constantly bugged because I believe in their judgments.

So, after thinking it through, I have decided to choose….


I chose this scholarship because I like the degree offered, whereas when I applied for JPA, I have to choose International Relations because it’s the nearest I can get to the field of communications…even though studying in Canada is very tempting, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for settling for second-best choice. There are so many reasons for choosing this scholarship and I’m determined to do the best I can do.

I’m fully aware that some people think that I’m mad for giving up the chance to have my study overseas. I don’t blame them though, they are not me, so they can’t possibly fully understand what I have in mind. But I’m glad, that they actually cared…

I believe in my choice and nothing can change that, because once I believe, I’ll have the will and then I’ll have the drive to make the best of it. Indeed, I’m very blessed with wonderful opportunities like these and also family and friends that had given me guidance all this while…Thank you.

My Mum is great because...

My Mum is great because she disagrees with my silly ideas, because she disapproves of my stupid actions, because she scolds me when I'm wrong, because she nags me when I'm lazy, because she lectures me when I'm rude, because she treats me like a baby, because she never gives me freedom, because she likes to say "you are grounded" for tiny mistakes that I made...

But most importantly, my Mum is great because even if she knows that I'll hate her for what she did, she still does it, because she knows it's the best for me...

Happy Mother's Day!
hhhhhhhhhhhh

Aren't they cute?...

Dilemmas Galore!

OMG! My head is gonna explode! I got the Public Service Department Scholarship or more commonly known as JPA…so now how? Some of you guys should know that I’ve got the Taylor’s Worldclass Scholarship and will be going for my foundation in July, but now…I got JPA pulak…sigh…how to choose?

Arghh…headache…

Well, just to give you guys some perspective of my dilemma, here are the pros and cons…

Taylor’s Worldclass Scholarship

>>Course : 1 year foundation in Communication and 3 years BA of Communication & Media Management
>>Location : Talylor’s College, School of Communication, Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur.
>>Tuition fees: 100% tuition fee waiver
>>Estimated expenses: RM50,000 ++ for 4 years (miscellaneous fees, lodging & allowance)
>>Personal remarks: I’ll be able to study what I like and at the same time have a more flexible degree as I can go into journalism, advertising, PR, media planning…etc. Upon graduation, I’ll have an internship with Arc Worldwide which is an international communication company under the infamous Leo Burnett firm. However, living expenses are high and should be considered.

Public Service Department Scholarship (JPA)

>>Course: 1 year Canadian Pre-U and 4 years for BA of International Relations
>>Location: Malaysia (Pre-U), Canada (degree studies)
>>Tuition fees: 100% tuition fee waiver
>>Estimated expenses: Unknown, but allowance will be given by the ministry for lodging, miscellaneous fees and living expenses.
>>Personal remark: Well, it’s Canada for God sake’s! Definitely will benefit from the exposure and studying in a different country is like a dream come true. But, I’m a little unsure of the course given and the career prospects that come upon graduation. Will be bonded to serve the country (Malaysia) if the needs arise.

So? Which should I choose? Okay, I know you guys can’t make any decision for me…but what if you guys are in my shoes right now? Which one will be your choice? To make it easier, I’m posting a poll for you guys to vote. It’s on the right corner, just above my profile-thingy, it start this very moment and will end by tomorrow…so vote! Vote! Vote! And give me your most honest and unbiased opinions okay…

P/S: I hope to know more about Social science and International Relations, so if any of you have any info, please let me know okay? Thanks!

Stalker

I have a stalker!!! I’m not kidding. It’s real and very freaky!

Okay, maybe not a “stalker” stalker, but more of like a “megalomaniac-admirer” stalker or something like that. I’ve known about this quite some time now, and have been thinking about it very often lately. I only told Alex and Sheng about it, because they are guys so they probably can relate. But now, I just need to get it all out of my system before it freaked me out…here goes nothing…

I got the whole story when I went back to Keat Hwa (my secondary school) for the Chorals Speaking competition last month. Sheng, Alex and I were waiting for the competition result to be announced when a girl signaled for me to meet her outside the hall. She’s a prefect and my junior, so I thought she just wanted to say hi or something. But then she asked me:

“Do you know SG?”

SG is short for “Stalker Girl”, I don’t really know her name, and she’s only a brief acquaintance. So I answered:

“No I don’t think so, maybe I know how she look like but never really got her name. Who is she?” I admit, I sometimes get muddled by other people’s name. So I may know somebody, but I’m clueless about what they are called.

Back to the story, after I said that, the prefect gave me a very confused look and said:

“Really? But SG said the you are her boyfriend.”

And I was like “What the f**k!! No, I’m not!”

Then, she said “Ya, she said you even went to her house during Hari Raya wearing a blue baju Melayu with songkok and her Dad gave you RM50 for duit raya…”

Oh my lord! Me? Going to a total stranger’s house? So I told her “No, that’s totally not true, it’s b*llshit la! Don’t believe her.”

That’s not the end to it, the prefect also told me that “SG even said that you bought her a RM49.99 Westlife CD as a birthday gift and stashed it at the guardhouse so she can get it after school…”

For God sake’s who is this SG?!! She’s such a liar and a very good one too…all those details…WTF!!

And I told my junior “Never believe what she said about me, cause they are all lies la…”

And she was like “Really? I totally believe her…”

By then, a very crappy teacher came and told my junior to go back to her class and I went back into the hall and told Alex all about it (Sheng went back as I was speaking to the prefect).

See, I told you I have a stalker…but as always, I managed to find something funny about SG’s tall tales, if her Dad gave me RM50 for duit raya and I bought her a RM49.99 CD, then I’m only left with 10 sen to spare…rugi la! Wakakaka...Ops...yala...it's only 1 sen...thanks Iwan...malu...

Anyway, SG really freaked me out la…haven’t she heard of some healthy courtship?...Sigh…

Jeans Hunting

As you guys know, I went shopping/jeans hunting yesterday, right? Well, it’s not that smooth like I wanted it to be…but here’s what happened…


Waiting at Pekan Rabu...

My day started out with waiting for Dad to fetch me to City Plaza at home, he was supposed to fetch me at 9.30 a.m. but he was late and only came back home to pick me up at 10 a.m. I was a little annoyed since he was late and I’m afraid that Sheng might be mad at me because I told him to meet up at 10 a.m. Eventually, I reach the plaza by 10.30 a.m., which was 30 minutes late. Luckily Sheng was okay with it, we took our breakfast at McD’s…apple pies only…After that, we kinda just loitered around waiting for her aunt to fetch us to Alor Star Mall…basically, my day began with a lot of waiting…

Then, I received a SMS from Alex, saying that he won’t be able to join us because he was down with diarrhea --- aiyo!--- which was a major halt to our plan cause Alex is the only one with driving license and was supposed to drive us around town. Not long after that, Apple (Chai Ping, you need a Christian name la…from now on I’ll call u Apple…hehehe) also said she won’t be coming…she said it was inconvenient for her, I knew she wanted to come out and hang out badly… but I guess she thought that she would be bothering me and Sheng, which was so not the case… it’s no fun la… sometimes the more the merrier ma…In the end, only left me and Sheng, two shopping freaks nia…sigh…


Me and Sheng...do we really look alike? No la...

However, I decided that I should make the best out of the worst. So, while waiting for his aunt to come, Sheng and I just went on a little detour to the Pekan Rabu Bazaar, which I honestly never been to in my 18 years of life in Kedah. Unlike always, I insisted that we use the overbridge (jejantas) to get across to the bazaar. And then an idea hit me and we took this picture of me…doing an Iwan-pose…


This is for Iwan...I did my best to pose like he did on the suspension bridge in one of his pics on his site...hahaha...

The Pekan Rabu Bazaar is a little crowded to me, and most of the stuffs they sell at every store are very much alike…some traditional Malay tidbits, baju Melayu, songkok and many more…One thing I liked about this place is the mosaic floor and walls which give the place a mysterious, bluish atmosphere. We didn’t really stay there for a long time, since the weather was hot and there’s no air conditioning in the bazaar, which made it twice hotter than outside…so we kinda just window shop very quickly…and leave.


Pekan Rabu Bazaar...

At first, we planned to take a bus back to Pacific (another mall) after we’re done shopping at Alor Star Mall, but then the weather seemed to be very bad, dark clouds and overcast…so it might rain sooner or later, so instead of being drench to our skin while walking to the bus stop, I called Xin Yi, my cousin to fetch us to the nearby bus stop…just in case it rains, fortunately she agreed! Well, she just got her own car…so she’s more than willing to try it out…wahahaha…However, it never rained…buat suspens saja la…


Will it rain soon?

A snapshot of colors...just a random pic I took...love the bright colors.

Guess what! I manage to find two pairs of great jeans that only cost me RM75 both! It’s an awesome bargain! I bought the jeans at Jefferson in Alor Star Mall. As the saying goes, a picture speak of a thousand words, so here some pics of the jeans…it’s a lttle blurry though…

Nice le...i like the grey one the most!


This is how it looks from front...plain..with some fraying...

This is the back...I really like the embroideries on the back pocket...kinda ethnic...

A closer look at the patterns...

At about 2.30 in the afternoon, we met up with Xin Yin who drove us to the bus stop opposite Simpang Kuala and we took a bus back to City Plaza and then walk for about 10 minutes to Pacific for lunch. We took our lunch at Wah Tua Guan, which is a Chinese herbal soup restaurant. We ate rice with Ginseng Chicken and Rainbow Roll. Very yummy!

Let's makan!


Now you see it, now you don't...hahaha...


I'm one happy customer...remind me of Paulene...wakakaka....

After that, we just hang out and went to the arcade for some fun!

Sheng: Not so fast, not so furious la...

The day out was not really what I had in mind…but I did manage to get the jeans that I needed so badly…hahaha…Hey, who’s up for another day out before I go to KL? Wanna have my own farewell party ma…any suggestions?

I've been tagged...Ahhh!

Jeans...

I'm in dire need of a pair of jeans. My old ones are over-washed and the one I bought in Hatyai is so damn tight. If I meet that man who sold me the jeans, I'll definitely stranggle him with the denim! Geramnya~... I'm going shopping tommorow, hopefully I'll find that perfect pair of jeans. I recently found out that D&G has some great jeans, but bloody expensive! Hmm...I'll keep on dreaming la...for the moment, here are some examples of to-die-for jeans...in my opinion that is...

Nice denim, love the color...cool shades as well!

Simple but stylish with baby bluish wash...and leather top...so keng!

Another good example of denim with denim...

Darker color look great, just a simple bright t-shirt and we'll hit the town baby!

Love the wash...minimal fraying...
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Oooo...lighter tone, fabulous details...

Skinny jeans never looked this good!

Cool! But kinda not so practical...

A little baggy, goes a long way...dude...love the faux fur!

Beautiful vertical lines...make you look taller ma...
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Kinda nice...but you won't caught me wearing these shorts anytime soon...hahaha...

Facts about jeans:
1. You don't have to wash a pair of jeans regularly, once in 3 months would be sufficient...depend on how you take care of it la...last advice, better wash if it stinks...hahahaha...
2. Wear your new jeans to bed! Sleep in them to soften the fabric for a better fit!

Now have to go and crack my piggy bank liao...hahaha...

Social Outcast


My recent trip to KL was fun but something awkward did happen. It was the day of my scholarship interview at Taylor’s College in Petaling Jaya and my friend, X accompanied me there. As we arrived by taxi, I realized that X acted somewhat rigid and look very uncomfortable. I didn’t ask much since I was quite nervous about the whole interview, so I let it be…

But things got worse. We were walking around campus trying to find my interview venue which was at Level 5 of Block B3 and I wanted to go up and look around since it’s still early, so I walked towards the escalator.

Suddenly, X turned to me and said “Why don’t we try the lifs?”.

Instinctively, I asked him “What’s the difference of using the escalator and the lifts. Since the escalator is near, why not use it?”. X kept quiet, but I knew something was bothering X.

20 minutes had passed and we still couldn’t find the place, so I called Emily who was in charged of the scholarship interview. She told me to meet her at the reception which happened to be nearby. I told X that we have to go to the reception and X asked me whether he can just wait for me outside. Can you imagine that?

So I asked X “Why wanna wait outside? Damn hot. Inside got air-con ma.” X kept quiet again.

By then I was quite pissed of by X’s sudden stubbornness. So I told X to spill-it-out and tell me what the problem is.

And X said “So many rich kids studying here, feel so stressed la. Can’t seem to fit in with them”.

“Are you intimidated by them? That’s like so dumb. Who cares if they are rich, they are still human. If you feel that it’s a big deal, then act rich la.” I said, a bit taken aback by X’s low self-esteem and realizing that the escalator and reception area are full of loitering students.

But X insisted on waiting outside and I gave up persuading him. After my interview, X seemed more relaxed and we went for lunch at Bar BQ Plaza. We had a mutual agreement to not argue about his strange behavior anymore. Sigh…X should be more confident

This incident got me thinking not only about self-esteem, but also about stereotyping certain people or places or issues. So it’s a private institution or private college, but that doesn’t mean that it’s only for the rich and famous. Many are scholarship holders, if you really have what it takes, nobody cares about your financial background. However, I found that most Malaysians do stereotype a lot of stuff.

I experimented by wearing a singlet, shorts and sneakers for a day out at Time Square and everybody was staring at me, some whispered to their friends and some even giggles behind my back. All this time, those same people were acting seemingly normal towards a European tourist who has the same dress code as mine. Why? People stereotypes. It’s okay for foreigners to wear like that, but it’s not normal for me to do the same? What freakin’ rule is this?

Don’t judge others by their appearance or environment. I don’t think we have the right to categorize other people into groups. And if everyone is as easily intimidated as X, then everyone will be a social outcast.

“Don’t think people are stupid by how they look, because if they are geniuses, they’ll say how stupid you are to think of them that way. Who’s stupid now?”
