When she looks so much like her...

It's strange sometimes when you come across people who look alike but are completely unrelated. Years ago I know this person but has since been out of contact for a long while. She has a very unique look that i cannot easily forget. Might be the eyes, the nose or the lips, I don't know. Just that one of a kind look that you cannot find any resemblance in others. Or so I thought... until last week.

I was running a workshop and for some strange reasons I felt as if she is among the audience. Indeed, this lady (albeit a younger version) resembles her to the T... unless I put a microscope on her I wouldn't be able to tell that they aren't related. Even the body structure look alike, the way she stands, walks, posture etc. Can't believe it!

Theoretically speaking it is extremely possible for two unrelated persons to look identical, don't you think? Think about it, we have only two eyes with brows, two ears, one nose, one mouth, and a head of hair that has limited styling distinction apart from colour. Put all these components together and you can easily figure out that the permutation is not infinite.... 1 million at most? Since there are more than 1 billion chinese looking people in the world, it should then be very possible to find an identical (or similar) looking pair of people among 1000 or 2000?

For some reasons I fell into a whole slew of reminiscence about the past as a result of this encounter. But whatever it is life goes on...
