Of people watching:
I noticed that i have been paying alot of attention on people's faces outside these days. I mean really looking. Not your sitting by the coffee shop and people watch kind of looking. That kind of looking has a certain voyeuristic characteristic to it as you try to do it so that people would not noticed that you are looking. When i looked these days, i got some inquiring, some nasty, some curious looks in return. It is interesting as i have been looking as though i am trying to find a familiar face. Someone i might know or might have known. Sometimes, they looked back wondering the same about me. It further confuse people if i happened to smile. I am not sure what exactly i am looking at or looking for.
Perhaps i am just tired of looking at the ground, looking at the inanimate, looking pass and looking through at people. Even for a split second when you walked passed another, would you remember, in the next 10 seconds, how the other looked like? I am trying to remember. A 10 second photo memory.
People are a myriad of interesting details if you care to look.
A tiny nose ring.
Shaved eyebrows.
A mishapen nose.
A collection of pimples.
Purple spectacle frames.
A sunflower shaped pendent.
A misaligned skirt.
I wonder what do others see when they walked pass me.
