Familiar face...

"You look very familiar. Where have I met you before, ek?"

I've heard that statement countless times before. And today, another girl asked me that very same question.

Hmmm.. Maybe they've met my 7 twins kut.. There's a saying that in this world there'll be 7 people that looks exactly like you.. I've once discussed about it with Baine before and he even blogged about this topic months ago.

I guess all my 7 twins must be very popular for people to notice them and thought that they were me.

I've had the chance to ask some of the people that had claimed that they've seen my face before/I look very familiar/I look like someone they know personally. Facts that I've collected so far about my so-called twins...

... My sister's Japanese friend had once told me that there's one Japanese actress who looks just like me.

... My ex had once said that he saw me shopping at BSC. He was pissed because I didn't even acknowledge him when he passed by (we've broken up by that time). All this happened while the real Binx was half-awake in class, listening to a boring tax lecture.

... A guy once waved at me excitedly in the LRT and came over to chat. He was asking me lots of questions that I quickly scanned my brain to check if I actually know the guy. However, I realised that he thought I was his old uni mate that he hasn't seen for a couple of years.

Interesting kan?

There's another malay saying that says "pelanduk 2 serupa" when people say that there's another person that looks exactly like you. Why do they relate it to pelanduk (dear) pun I dunno. Maybe because all dears look the same kut kan?

On my drive home from my visit to a subsidiary in Nilai today, I was thinking about the statement that the girl made earlier this morning. Wouldn't it be cool if I could actually meet all these people that look like me. It would be great to sit down and chat over Rhumba and just trade stories. I wonder if people ever got them confused with the other 6 of us at the table. Plus, it would be very interesting to find out about the life of the famous superstar Binx and also the shopaholic Binx kan... *winks*

Nowadays my standard reply for the statement at the top tadi would be...

"Lorr.. you don't know ke? I laa yang act in the advert yg famous tuh..."

and just walk away...




binx: looking fwd to meet all my twin pelanduks...
