Of running, lunch and haircuts



after a long long time...i ran Machritchie reservoir after dunno how many ages...with my fren, whom i'd like to refer to as the Tommy Gun~ it was good running with his company (no, i'm not going that way), and although we talked more than we walked and walked more than we ran, it was still a good run..i should run more...

had a good catch up lunch with the Malay, along with the one with the squinty eyes and the self-professed bimbo. Inception (2nd time for mi) was good...though the run earlier killed mi so i snoozed abit..but it was a good catch up with them :)

so finally after weeks of delaying, i finally cut my hair, which was overgrown, and unsightly...so as i walked into the hair saloon, my other regular hairstylist's first remark to mi was

"AIYO! soh long neber see you aledy! hair so long now, like poor old man like dat!"

that killed much of my esteem, knowing that i had b4 this walked around half the day in this poor old man look...it didnt help that i didnt shave...so while i cutting my hair, i chatted with my hairstylist while she was happily cutting my hair away..

"why your hair so long ah?"

"cuz i long time never cut?"

"aiyo, thats why la, your hair so thick! like ger hair like tat..."

"thanks ah..so help mi cut short short can?"

"can! i cut short short nice nice for u!"

30 mins later i saw a me that was reminiscent of my earlier army days...not that i minded honestly..at least it was neat...

and so with a renewed belief in my now easily maintained hair...i showed the world proudly...and these were wat i heard...

"eh, grow ur hair back la..u look better last time..."

"eeeee, ur hair so short! make u look fatter!"

"wah..u reservist ah?"

and the ultimate...

"eh...u look like Jack Neo..."

i sobbed...but it onli gives mi motivation to run more and lose weight...
i should, i must, i will!

You talk too much, will get u into trouble...so act like a clown, act blur, then u'll be safe...understand?
More wise words from the old man
