> armani for $10
what $10 can get you at your neighbourhood seri-dewa (malay barber):
an "Armani"~Haircut
or so that's what he calls it lah! had always had difficulty in asking the dudes for a particular style, and after all the handsignals and explanations, it inevitably goes another way = a "standard-seri-dewa-cut"-way! LOL
... but now tis different, for i now have a "name" that goes with a "style" that i like, and "Armani" IS IT! :)
for the past 35years, i've never paid more than $10 for a haircut (strictly all seri-dewas), but for only once = t'was at centrepoint as recommended by a dear fren then (three years back), and it looked pretty good there and then! HIP SIAL! but alas, after that, i was not able to "style" it back to "perfection" ~ what a waste of $35 for a single moment of gratification and beautification, innit? damn ... so why bother spending so much moolah in the first place, right? the irony being, "my hair is my armour" - for even if im too fat or ugly, at any time of my life; my hair has to look PERFECT, if not "stylish" ... ahahahaha
from Vitalis-hairgel/Code-10/Brylcream in the 70/80's (which always leaves a wet greasy patch whenever i lean my head against a wall), to vitalis super/softhold in the 80/90's (which keeps my styled-hair STIFF! no need to carry comb! and can even liftup a whole sliver of hair at a time hahahahaha), to the current (dunno what brand, but can buy at 7-11-stores ;p) stiffened gelled monstrosity (poke you to death ah!), to hidden badhair under a cap (but my fatface looks not good wif caps leh = YES I AM VAIN. HAH!) ... long have i wished for a fuzzy+messy cut; that doesn't need frickin'-maintainence! just ruffle and you're ready to go! HAH!
tho i might come out looking like a freakazoid ... hhmmm ... am just happy that the polyclinic-consultation-cost wasn't high and that i could afford to have a refreshing cut lah ... so what if im missing out bigtime on the great singapore sale? i had an "armani-cut" for $10, and that's good enuff for me :)
