Out in the real world

I have had a head full of bristles-like-hair, short hair, and even no hair *I remember being likened to a Chinese monk!* Some of us have grown our hair really long, cut it all off, kept it short, or lost it over the years.

Women have a 1001 hairstyles. They can opt for rebonding, perming *ala the aunties* and even gel them up and make it spiky *to look fierce*. Aunty Zah had a total of 2 hairstyles over the past 6 months for as long as I remember. I thought her hair *and many other ladies* was this white smooth piece of cotton but I was wrong! They actually have hair underneath those scarves.

In the 70s, guys love to sport long hair..nowadays it means you're a rock singer or someone who's waiting to go to NS *read: National Slavery* because their hair had to be shaved in NS. Of course, cute guys like Anuar Zain sports longer hair too *Ibu prefers him to be short-haired though* Women have indeed more hairstyles than men...i mean you can't make a guy's into a ponytail and put ribbons on them.

Ayah has short hair, as long as I remember. Ibu has longer hair than him. I saw some of her past pictures. Her hair has been short *and funny..haha* when she was in her teens. When you see a picture of yourself from the past, the most distinguishing feature of you, aside from your pimples and specs is your hair..right? Our hair styles helps us to remember the good times, the bad times, and everything in between.

I'm at the mercy of hairstylist-wannabes. My hair has grown long enough for a bit of my hair to be tied into 'a coconut tree' style. I would prefer to call it the 'taugeh' style though. :P
