I am a barber too!

29 November 2006 (this is backdated)

I am Papa's "official" barber these days. I complained to my cousin Rebecca that it was hard to find a good barber shop near my Ulu Sengkang place. The last visit, he came back with cuts on his head as the barber was careless when using the razor blade. You see, Papa loves to keep his hair real short, which means cutting almost near to "botak" style, hence the barber would usually use a razor blade for the finishing touch. I felt real 心痛 upon seeing the cuts on his head. I am also worried of infection since Papa is frail and with poor immunity system.

I chatted with my cousin Rebecca one day. She suggested that I can cut my Papa hair myself since it should not be too difficult given that Papa maintains a "near botak" hairdo. She then gave me an electric shaver which she bought for her nephew Cyrus some time ago . However, Cyrus hates the sound of the shaver, hence the shaver has been left unused.

Papa is game enough and trust his "head" in my hands.....haha , it proved to be an easy task.....So convenient to do in the comfort of our place and cost saving too , since it usually costs between $20 to $35 to bring dad to the barber (inclusive of cab fare) depending on the location of the barber shop.
