musings on his new hair

What your new hair colour reveals about you and the people around you:

  • You know your mother doesn't like it when her first comment is "Chao Ah Beng".
  • People around your age group gawk and say "Chio ah!"
  • Schooling teenagers look up in envy because they'll never be able to hide it from the school authorities.
  • Your boss sees you in new light now as the flaming red shows off your creative streak.
  • Your wife gets a shock every morning when she gets up, even though she was the one who create the masterpiece on your scalp.
  • Your father-in-law laughs everytime your hair is mentioned.
  • Somehow you heard your auntie say your head resembles "Ah Meng", the orang-utan in the zoo.
  • Strange aunties and uncles point to you as though your head was on fire.
  • But even stranger is when you go to Mustafa. No one even gives you a second look.
So much for your new hair. I feel put down by all the attention given to you. Does NO ONE notice the slight blue tinge to my otherwise black hair at all?!?
