Recently, Emily’s very discontented about how her brows have grown. They were kinda merged right at the middle across her nasal bridge… making her look like she has a damn long brow like that, instead of 2. If you are unable to get what I’m trying to depict here, refer to Bert’s picture on the left (rumored to be Osama’s favorite cartoon character).
And today, she was seen perched on the sofa with a mirror and a clamp of some kind by my mom. She was plucking out every single strand of brow hair on her nasal bridge.
Mom : “What are you doing there ?”
Emily : “My brows… they’re ugly and messy. I’m trying to pluck out those that have grown on my nasal bridge…”
Mom : “They look ok to me though”
Emily : “No, look at Michael’s. His brows are very neat, unlike mine. Mine’s merged at the middle…”
Mom : “Really meh ?”
And I proceeded to walk closer to my mom and repeatedly tilted my brows – brandishing it’s ‘neatness’.
Me : “I think you have a merged brow because you’re too stingy. Ahaks !”
*It’s a popular belief by the Chinese that merged brows (or uni-brow) indicates stinginess.
Mom : “Well, he’s sure lucky to have bestowed with a pair of brows. Thanks to me. If it’s not for me who rubbed some brandy on him when he was still an infant, he probably wouldn’t have any brows today… ”
Me : “Ah tiuuuu… you know that’s a total bullshit. I mean, if brandies really could promote hair growth, then why isn’t there any hair growing out from my throat? My internal organs would be so full of hair…”
Mom : “Internal versus external… dolt ! They’re different”
Me : “Oh yeah? Like when I pour brandies excessively overflowing out from my mouth… do I see hairs growing out from the edge of my mouth right through the spill trails down my neck?”
Mom : “Tiuuuu ! The brandy I used was special ok? It was concocted with [unintelligible type of herbs] … bla bla bla”
Me : [under my breath] “Yeah right…”
If brandy really promotes hair growth, then Zidane would probably have that glimmer of hope to model for some hair care products… instead of just some sohai boots and sports equipments…
“*It’s a popular belief by the Chinese that merged brows (or uni-brow) indicates stinginess.”
Haha, how about those that shave their eyebrows?
ken – it’s not scientifically proven ler .. just a popular belief.
Like Emily .. my eyebrows are really important to me.. to be in perfect shape.. and not have any messy looking hair around.. hehhe!! They say that if you have merge eyebrows.. you are a possesive person..?? no..??? Nah..! not true..! my spouse has merge eyebrows.. but he donch give two hoot..if a customer flirted with me.. hahahah!!
“*It’s a popular belief by the Chinese that merged brows indicates stinginess.”
Yeah meh?Never heard of it be4 leh!Hmm..think i’m too young to know of this traditional belief.Remember we have generation gap?Hehe..
Haiyo…u r so bad,making fun of Emily’s brows & compare hers with Bert’s.*shake head*=P
People with merged eyebrows have very strong killer-gas (shat hei). Ghost will run far far away from them. If you pluck them off, ghost will come.
ROTFLMAO!!!
mrsT – i never worried about my brows. The only time I actually worried about it was many years ago, when i shaved my own brows with a razor and panicked after having a good laugh at myself.
tEo – generation gap ? Like I’m in my 20′s and you’re way beyond your retirement years ?
doc – like there’s a lot of scientific proof in your statement. You open clinic or temple aa ?
“People with merged eyebrows have very strong killer-gas (shat hei). Ghost will run far far away from them. If you pluck them off, ghost will come.”
Not only merged eyebrows, but also thick and lush eyebrows.
Tell Emily that she’s blessed. At least she’s got eyebrows to pluck at. Heh heh.

Wah, no wonder ghosts and humans never come near me lah.
Scientific? I only get scientific towards scientific people. :PbPbPb
iblogme – That’s what I’ve been telling her. At least she got brows… I’ve seen girls with virtually no brows at all, and they have to draw themselves one.
lilian – Haiiirrrryyy aunty ! *freaks out*
doc – So, like if there’s someone possessed by evil spirit looking for you, you’re gonna practice exorcism on that person ?
eh its true, or at least my mummy thinks its like that too … last time i had such sparse eyebrows… my mum gave me a miniature bottle of VSOP for me to rub over my brows every night.
i still have sparse eyebrows, i make them look thicker with…. EYEBROW PENCIL… tadaaaaaaaaa.

Eye brow is the beauty of person. according to me neat eye brows increasees the beauty of girl.
