Don’t you find it a bit intriguing that a lot of Chinese medicines seem to have a monochrome ‘face profile’ picture of the inventor/founder/whatever on its label? Well, that was why my Regine refuse to let go of a bottle of Chinese medicated oil she happened to find by the side of the bed the other day… after she saw a picture of a man on the bottle label…
She looked at the picture, then at me, then at the picture… and then uttered out loud…
“DADDDYYY… DADDDYYY…”
I almost choked when I heard that. Emily was laughing like a hyena having a stroke.
I’m sure she was looking at the picture on the left. And I’m even more sure, that I don’t look a wee bit like that rotund fart. (The right one is totally out of the scope). Needless to say, it was a case of mistaken identity – attributed to her relatively new state of face recognition software…
In my desperate bid to redeem my self esteem, I tried to correct her
“Nooo noooo girl, that is NOT DADDY. That is some uncle who looks like William Hung… NOT DADDY”
But the effort was futile. She’d still go,
“DADDDYYY… DADDDYYY…”
The more I corrected her, the more excited she got. I had to stop as I did not want that picture to get ingrained inside her mind. So I tried to steer her attention to something else, which kinda worked, but for only a short while. It was before long she saw that label on the bottle of medicated oil again, and went
“DADDDYYY!!!” [smile]
It hurts.
Maybe you should put up your picture and let your readers decide if you look like that guy lol.
Hahahah … this is so funny and I’m also laughing like a *hyena having stroke*. hheheheh … finally I know how you look like. :)
oh… that’s how you look like? Gotcha. hmm.. kids will never lie…
Haha… relax mike, you don’t look at all like that, only possible thing you and that fella in pic got in common is probably you’re both Chinese. Anyway, the pic looked more like the stupid lecturer I blogged quite often back in college days:

Mmm. Now we know, Company X is all a sham. Michael owns a medical factory.
And he puts lots of ethanol in the oils.

Maybe you should replace the photo in the bottle with yours. Hey prestto… Regine can Daddy all she wants.
