Digitally Verifiable At Last

Ever since MyKad became mandatory, never once could my thumbprints be scanned to match against that in my iC.

Same with my passport... no can read.

No amount of moisturiser slathered on my thumbs helped.

For personal banking I had to show a special letter from the Registrations Dept. that endorses I am who I am.

I resigned myself to the fact I was growing old and starting to shrivel ... beginning from the thumbs.

In the days prior to DNA forensics I would have been able to get away with almost anything criminal.... due to lack of 'prints

But that wishful thinking is short-lived.

Was totally surprised a couple of weeks ago and again today that my right thumb is completely readable now.... by scanners at 2 different places even.

It wasn't without the use of a teeny bit of moisturiser though.

But whoa... growing old is not irreversible after all.

Maybe I'm now less dehydrated than I was before... or perhaps my internal environment much less acidic.

Whatever it is I think I should really stick to drinking the alkaline water from that gadget we had installed back in January... at ph 9.5

Who knows what else might unshrivel in due course.

My memory... I hope.

And something else that sounds weirdly similar... kekekeh

Or it could just be that scanning technology have improved over the years.... sigh.
