It's true then: I am getting bald...

Thursday, November 18, 2004

Hi guys. Today was OK to me. I went to Midvalley at 11 in the morning to watch The Incredibles, which was a good animation movie, but seriously, I don't feel like it's so darned good. I don't really see how it justified all the rave reviews it got. Well, it did give me a chuckle or two here and there, but I got no serious laughter out of the movie, like how I normally get if I were to watch shows like Scrubs. Maybe me being lethargic all day today, and the fact that a slightly noisy kid was sitting beside me (he gave childish comments on almost every scene to her mother, like how a 4 or 5 year old always has something to say to his/her mother), played a hand in me being like this.

However, I'm not saying that it's a bad movie. Do watch it. If I get another chance to watch it in VCD or DVD form, I'll go for it.

I initially planned to watch 3 movies in a row, but I erred on the side of caution, as I had to buy more blank CD-R's for those files I plan to backup from my PC. I had to go to Low Yat Plaza, but since I'm driving, I had to try to avoid the rush hour. So, off I went to Low Yat after watching The Incredibles (of course, after I bought a Rotiboy! ;)) .

I went around Low Yat searching for the best CD-R's that I can buy, and I finally chose Matsu Platinum. I previously bought Matsu Gold CD-R's, but a lot of those have errors. My choice was justified, since when I tried them at home, they worked flawlessly. No single errors in the first 10 CD-R's that I burned. Felt happy... :) And jittery, as I also purchased an Espresso Frappucino. To temporarily cure that sleepy head of mine. ;)

Then, just now, I went to have a haircut at my usual barber shop. At first, I thought of cutting it extremely short (nombor 2 or 3 probably), but then I felt that my hairstyle currently was okay. Nothing wrong with it. So I opted to just trim my hair instead.

But during the cutting of my hair, I looked at the mirrors in the shop and saw at the top of my head (the place where it "looks" like all your hair comes out from, the Malay word is bujal if I'm not mistaken), I saw a receding hairline... Oh my! My worst fears really have come to life! I'm getting bald... How unlucky... I anticipated that one day I might go bald, but I didn't expect that day to be this close! Well, I hope I'm able to find a remedy for this problem. It might have something to do with my eating habits, or lack of certain nutritions or so, or even an ailment (although I don't think that last phrase is correct as I'm feeling well currently). I hope I'm able to reverse this current condition of my hair.

But seriously, if everything goes wrong, and I really can't reverse this situation, I will really shave my head completely. Not even a single strand of hair will be left standing. I've always said to myself (and I believe) that a man looks better being completely bald, rather than having a seriously receding hairline, or even worse: keeps his hair sooo long so that he can comb-over that bald spot with his long hair. Ugh... You guys agree with me on this, don't you?

So, do you guys know any good remedies for curing baldness, or should I just perform that complete shaving of my head?
