How bout a shave?

Yesterday, because my COD game was cancelled, I decided to have a haircut. Since people from so many different parties, which includes a lot of mums, are not fond with my eccentric hairstyle. I had to agree that it was ugly. Plus, it was interrupting my basketball game where I have to “Beiber Hair Flip” everytime I want to shoot the ball.

So I forced my friend, Philo to come along with me and went to the saloon.

Barber : Cut it short?

Me : Nah. Just make me look a little less like ‘orang gila’ in public and hopefully keep the mums from complaining so much about my hairstyle.

Barber : So just a layer?

Me : Yes. Oh. Please keep it long. I still want to tie my hair.

So it took her less than 10 minutes to cut my hair and the barber admired my natural curl, although it was just a compliment to ensure my return to that place in the near future. And of course, I like being fed with compliments, so I ignored the fact that it was a business strategy. We need the love too, right?

Anyway, once she was done. I stood up, looked myself in the mirror and said,

“Shit. There’s not much of a different and this is gonna cost me 12 bucks. Oh, what the hell. At least I can still do the Beiber Flip.”

I went home. And it took me an hour to convince my family members that I did go the saloon.

Maybe I should reconsider

I watched a video of a blogger being interviewed last week in Big Think. And the blogger mentioned that if you are aspiring to be an established blogger, you need to blog at least twice a day. Two posts in a day.

At first I thought it was very absurd to blog twice a day. What is there to blog about twice a day? Is the toilet paper in your cubicle on the left or on the right? Or do you wipe your backside with your left hand or right hand?

But then, I realised that there is some reasoning in his comment about this. He said anything less than two posts a day means you are merely just managing a website.

There is truth in there. Think about it.
