Point a camera at me, and the "peace" sign will automatically come up without hesitation. I should try and vary my poses. But it's kinda hard to control my hands and stop my fingers from forming that V sign. LOL
p.s. this is my excuse of putting up my old photos of my "younger self" up in this blog. Haha Cheesy, I know.
Bear with me. This is after all MY BLOG.
An enlightening post on Japan next, I promise. :D

The peace sign has now become part of Japanese culture and most people use it for photos. It just becomes second nature after a while.
ReplyDeleteI guess there's nothing wrong with having "peace sign" pose. There are many, many people do that too.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day! Peace! :)
Yeah most people are likely to be posing with a peace sign every time pictures are taken :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you are such a cheerful mommy!^-^
ReplyDeleteHaha, since it's your blog, you can do whatever you want to for sure:)
ReplyDeleteTo me, the behavior of JAPANESE having peace sign when the camera was pointed at was sort of conditional response, as is explained by "Pavlov's dog"... Well I am not blaming but telling how I feel toward them, you know:)
Thanks for sharing.
yey! It looks so good.
ReplyDeleteI do it, too. And also thumb up. I don't know why I'm doing that.
I recognize that means peace, but do you think that there are people who is recognizing the sign means Victory?
I wonder if I could show off the sign in every country. haha!
Blimey that's a lot of peace signs! :)
ReplyDeleteWell I think its cute, nothing wrong with a V sign pose :) i sometimes take photos with the v sign too hehehe and honestly ive been teaching my cute nephew how to do the v sign which he is trying his best to master it well so far it still looks a bit like a Klingon grip sign hehe ..i like your 1st photo with the cute bob, it suits you well!
ReplyDeleteHa ha... Your son didn't do the peace sign!
ReplyDeleteInstead, he gave us a thumbs down?!
So mischievous huh?
hahaha... didn't expect a lot of response for this frivolous post but there you go... ^^
ReplyDelete@Japan Australia,
It's become my second nature too. Hard habit to break for me now. :D
@Con Artist Trickster & Mei Teng,
Yeah, people everywhere put up the V sign for photos. But I thin I overdo it somehow. LOL
@Alice,
Only when I'm on vacation! Otherwise, I'm the GARANG mommy. LOL
@Yoshi,
ReplyDeleteConditioned from birth to do the V? :D
I should stop being cheesy, shouldn't I? ^-^
@bird,
Yes, you can! Perfectly normal to see that V everywhere. Although I don't see middle age ladies like me doing it so much. LOL
@Twisting the Spanner,
Almost 90% of my non-candid photos have me with the hands up. That's a lot. I should try and just stand straight up more in my photos. LOL
@cuteandcurls,
ReplyDeleteI tried hard but never can do the Klingon sign. My son and hubby don't have that problem and I soooo envy them! (My body just don't listen to me, I guess). :D
You like that 1st photo? I like it too. I was in my best shape and best hair that time, being very fit and all. Sadly, after a year, gone fat already. huhu
@London Caller,
ReplyDeleteCheeky, that boy. ^^
Ha ha... Your son cheeky. You're cheesy?
ReplyDeleteAlmost rhyme lah.
Can make pantun.
My Melayu is a bit rusty, I am forcing myself to use it every day on my blog.
In case, when I go back to Malaysia, orang tanya apa pun tak tahu...
Nak pesan nasi lemak pun susah! Ha ha...
So let me know if my Malay sounds like Mat Salleh, OK? ;)
@London Caller,
ReplyDeleteHahaha... Been too long since I last construct a pantun myself. :D
Well, you sound like most non-Malay I've known in Malaysia so no worries there. :)
Haha!! I guess it's a habit! Maybe you should remind yourself to just pose without the V sign next time : )
ReplyDelete@foong,
ReplyDeleteI will try my best. XD
i think it's a cutesy way to pose with the V sign.
ReplyDelete@LR,
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, isn't it? But whether a middle age woman doing it looks cute or not, is another matter. LOL
