Old School Hair Styles

Continuation from yesterday's entry. This poster was hung on the wall of the old barber shop. I don't think the customers use this for selection or instructions to the barber.
This however taught me on the names of the various hairstyles for gentlement. Before this, the only name of style I know was only crew cut. :)
Which style would you choose?

Old School Hair Style

Barber shops like this are getting lesser as stylish and modern hair saloons mushroom around the city.
Customers who frequent this shop are mainly looking for a hair cut. Nothing flashy, nothing fashion-y, just make my shorter. Period.
The price is at RM10 per hair cut. With RM 5 more, you get shaving. The barber normally ends their routine by giving pats on the customer's shoulder and a twist on their neck. I am always afraid to see they way they twist people's head, for fear that the head will end up rolling on the ground.
Besides all these no-nonsense regular, there are mums who bring their boys over for a hair cut. I can imagine one mother telling the son : "Well, when you are old enough to earn a living, you can choose where you want your hair done. While you are still in school, you should look like a student."
Lol..I guess trendier hairstyles for these young boys are perhaps something to look forward to.

Craze for Ice Cream

On every 31st of the month, Baskin Robbins will have a 31% on their handpacked ice cream. Normally that's when their outlets will be really full.
This was taken at their outlet in Damansara Uptown. Apologies for the quality of the picture. Couldn't get a good shot as I was always being pushed around by the crowd.
I went at around 8pm and boy, was I greeted by a big but patient - most are ok to wait at the tables outside - crowd. The customers had to take numbers before they got to place their orders. And with BR's style of letting the customers try as many flavours as they want, the queue just kept getting longer.
I walked out with my purchase after close to an hour. Imagine waiting that long just to buy a box of ice cream! Well..like all my fellow countrymen, I can't resist a good bargain, sometimes :)

Tailoring your destiny

Sports Toto is one of the lottery company here. Wonder where did Mr Hudson the tailor go. Not sure if he has chosen the dice over needle and thread :P Lottery is a lucrative business here. I won't say there are lotsa gamblers here, but I guess there are lotsa people with lotsa optimism and hope in their hearts.. thinking I will win..I will strike jackpot tomorrow.
Money may not buy you happiness, but hope can certainly bring a smile to your face.

Slim City 2

Ahh..the temptation to be perfect..

Slim City 1

There are many slimming centres in Damansara Utama. The funny thing is almost all of them are along the same street.

Are we really a FAT nation? or are we just VAIN?

Will feature more in the next few entries.
