Guest Mr Smiley? Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 For a good reason. When I am not smiling, people called me "Ah Boy" and I look like "Ah Boy" but When I smiled, my wrinkles came into full display and that "Ah Boy" look, dissappeared without a trace. Am I the only one with such dilemma? What would you have done? I decided to stop smiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GachiMuchi Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Only those uncles & aunties with poor eyesight who cannot see your wrinkles will call you ah boy. If you are already 30s or 40s, you still want people to call you boy?

Am I the only one with such dilemma? What would you have done? I decided to stop smiling. I also stopped smiling, for a different reason. I noticed that my good mother, who had a difficult life, when in social settings she displayed a forced smile to hide her not so happy feelings. And when I was young, an insecure shy guy, I also had a forced smile when among people to cover my lack of social skills. Once a senior I have stopped the automatic smile, that create wrinkles and grow muscles around the mouth, but I SMILE WITH MY EYES, keeping the face well relaxed without being stern, with maybe a little smile coming out. And it has been a while since people called me "Ah Boy", ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley eyes are wide open together with a friendly facial expression, maybe a semi-smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also be in your age that your hearing got worse... because Xiao Di can be easily have been "Ciao Dear", Ah Boy actually "Avoid" and lastly Adik namely What "a dick".

Are you fully aware that if you kept quiet, you wouldn't look so stupid. Talking for the sake of feeling air space is absolutely annoying.

Guest 69fun Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Small face, sharp chin with Big eyes have youthful advantage. My eyes are larger than average and though I'm in my early 40s, many ppl still call me "xiao di" or ah boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
