As I Was Saying.... The Book's Cover

Never judge a book by it's cover. This is what we have always been hearing or even reminded ourselves from time to time.

Judged a book (hypothetically), I did. It was a very funny incident happened 2 days ago during my company's Health Awareness Day. 

You see there were a few representatives came to the event from this fitness training center to gave us some demonstration on self defense techniques. There was a very small size lady and two muscular and fit young guys in their 20's. And there he was, a tall middle age man (he looks like in his late 40's) which is half bald at the front with a ponytail and he faced the audience (I was one of them) and gave an opening speech. To be honest, when I first lay eyes on him, he did gave me a bit of Chinese Kungfu Master kind of impression (base on characters I saw in those old HK movies/drama).

While he was talking, my colleague whispered to me, "Can he be the Master/Sifu?", and very quickly without even thinking for a second, I blurted out, "Cannot be. Coz he got a tummy there." (to be fair, it was just a very small tummy). And quickly, we turn our attention back to that man. He starts giving some introduction about himself and mentioning that he is the trainer of that 2 young guys I was mentioning earlier, and that he is 60 of age and he can do 1000 push up a day. Imagine the Ooohhh and Ahhhh (gasping sound) escaped from the audience' lips (which mostly were ladies) when he mentioned all that.

And there it begun....... both my colleagues immediately turned their head towards me and said, "Liz, you see, you look down on him, did you hear what he just said?!!!? I think he can kill you with just one finger ah!". And we all started giggling so loudly. Honestly, I felt so shy due to what I said earlier, but then it was all a joke. But my, that man was really a surprise. Didn't I mentioned he looks  40's? He is actually 60 years old!!!

My colleagues kept teasing me every now and then when that man demonstrating some acts. So in the end I succumb to my colleagues, "Okay, okay. My fault. I'm so sorry. I take back what I said earlier." (and I pretended to slap myself a few times). Seriously, I laughed so hard and I got tears in my eyes.

Actually the reason why I didn't expect him to be the trainer was because he doesn't really have those muscular physique which I usually see in those sports trainers (too much influenced by all the Kickboxing/MuayThai sports). :P

  

So yes, It's another theory proven that we should never judge a person base on their outlook. 

Enough said.
