I hate it when people ask me about my height. I will always give an estimate height. conversations would go like
guy: "so how tall are u?"
orhz: " er... more than 170?"
guy: " be precise"
orhz: " ok...i think i'm about 172"
guy: " are u sure?" "i'm ard 172... u taller then me ?"
orhz: " er... ok.. maybe 171?"
guy: " u sure?"
sis: " erjie, you cant be 172."
orhz: " ok.. so what's my height?"
sis: "taller then 172? my guys friends insisted that i'm taller then them, so i must be 172. since u are taller then me.. u must be taller then that."
orhz: "ok. whatever.. just give me whatever number u like."
uncle: " wah, you grow taller again."
orhz:" er.. no la.. i think u shrunk la"
sigh... people and height..my youngest sis is so stress cos she is the tall one among the taller us (cant use short, else she will be pissed.) She will even give the exact reading like 163.2cm... she will stress that .2cm.
i dont like to be this tall really.... i dont like to be look at while walking on the streets... esp in southern china!! i dont like knocking into 'low hanging' things (i'm very accident prone) one. I feel clumsy... i mean i'm clumsy already.. i dont need people turning ard to see me knocking into something. i dont need attention.
whenever my girl pals admire me and my height, i will give them this advice " you can put on heels to make urself look taller, but when u are tall, there's nothing much you can do abt it. you have to learn to live with it." any little heels i put on, my guy friends will feel it. dont tell me guys are not concern abt height... they do.. they honestly do.
my boys... they always like to ask how tall am i... some even give me this height of 180cm... faint. then they will go jumping around me... asking me to give them a few more years to catch up.. asking me what do i eat to be this tall... "long beans and er... lotsa basketball and watever"
truth is... i think it's genetic... i dont even play any ball game... except that one year of volleyball back in sec sch days... i'm bad in my psycho motor skills. really.
so... stop asking me abt my height.. u will never get the correct answer. cos i doubt every measuring scale.. that's definitely parallex error...

I hate it when people asked about my height. I always round up the 169.75cm.
It's really depressing when the whole island is populated with wierdo ladies like you. I think your little sis is the most lovable one.
Upon your friendly advice, i shall start eating long beans regularly.
dont eat too much long beans, they are high in proteins, i think.. healthy diet is still highly recommended.
and... i dont think the whole isle is populated by pple like me la... i can assured you that the average height is less than 170cm. perhaps even 165cm.
