Ladies and Gentleman, I have just been informed of the existence of my doppelganger. Not only does this chap live in Singapore like me but he also has the same surname as I do. He's also a bit of a fitness freak. Actually, he's much more of a fitness freak than I am. A former army mate of mine, Brandon, was the one who kindly sent me the picture of this chap. This here photo appeared in the Sunday Times (Singapore's main Sunday paper) on the 5th of March 2006. When I first saw the photo, I was speechless. The resemblance is uncanny, isn't it? He's a healthier, younger, taller, heavier version of me. Even my mum thinks that he looks a little like me. Guess it's about time I started exercising even harder. Maybe it's time for a major image overhaul? Hahaha.....Brandon actually thought it was me trying to pass myself off as a younger, taller chap....nah, I'm not that desperate that I've got to tell lies about the way I look but what would happen if the doppelganger and I met? Would time and space as we know it collapse? Would the two of us melt into one entity? Would I finally get my groove back? Who knows? Maybe this is someone's idea of a joke.....oh well, I wish my doppelganger all the best. May he look healthier than I do when he's my age (I'm 7 years older than him!!).....I have to admit, this picture brought back memories of a particularly messy/somewhat lost weekend in Glasgow when we met Alasdair's doppelganger outside The Arches after Pressure!
