Impromptu Hair Style

I just had me a haircut yesterday. My wife has repeatedly told me not to cut it, or cut it in some good barbershop not in some unknown Padang style hairdresser. Only this time I was being stubborn, also because the place is near so I went to this small and very grungy barber. I mean look at the ratio, if I go to some fancy one it would cost me more than Rp. 70.000,- ten times more expensive. And people said that women are more economical when it comes to money. So I told the elderly man, I want a hair looks like Marco van Basten, I�s feeling a bit wild and want to surprise the missus. To be fair to the pap is that he already warned me.

�Pak kalo ini dipendekin akan berdiri soalnya rambut bapak beda sama Van Basten, dia tebal dan rapat jaraknya,� he replied with his thick Padang accent.

In short he said that because my hair type is different that style would make my hair looks like it�s just been electrocuted. Once again I was being stubborn, I politely said to him, never mind that and please just cut my hair like the former Milan superstar. So he did it, but probably I heard some one was rolling on the floor laughing in his mind.

I liked the cut tho�, but my wife doesn�t. She strenuously protested like never before, and even suggest that it�s better if I go bald all the way. Of course I failed to comply, I mean, what an obtuse suggestion. Any how she always doesn�t like if I shave the beard and moustache, makes me look too young she said once. She likes the rather rugged and manly style perhaps. That�s why Viggo Mortensen is her favourite actor and not Keanu. So now whenever I go near her, she always give me that peculiar and patronizing look. Ah, granted I will be miserable for the next three weeks. Long enough until I got my hair back to the way she likes it.

With this hair tho� I feel more comfortable. It kinda remind me when I was in high school with three years of crew cut. None of that hair bugging my eyes and gone all awry if the wind blows a bit hard. It�s also cost effective with the shampoo. I know it's hardly like Mr. Reeves in Speed, but hey it's not too shabby either.
