From A Face in the Crowd to One the Crowd Faces

If you travel along Bukit Timah Road, you may have noticed a very prominent banner outside Singapore Chinese Girls' School (SCGS). It said "From a face in the crowd to one the crowd faces".

This phrase strikes me hard.

A crowd refers to a group of people. This crowd can be small or large. So a face in a crowd often goes unnoticed.

The last part of the phrase "to one the crowd faces" means the crowd faces a face of a person. So this particular face becomes prominent and the whole crowd faces him or her.

This phrase literally means from a little unknown person in a crowd and then become a person whom the crowd looks upon.

Next time if you travel along Bukit Timah Road, please take a look at this banner outside SCGS.
