There are 4 barber shops around my area, one Chinese, one Indian and two Malay. The Chinese and the two Malay shops charge $8 for adults. I don't know about the Indian. Now I stick to one of the Malay shops. Usually there are two barbers in the shop, but sometimes got three.
I cut hair about once every two months, so the total bill for one year is merely $50. You know why got $2 extra, right?
I think my hair is easy to cut and my head is not very big, so they usually finished the job fast.
I read Victor's post about his haircut (link on the right - Taking up the challenge). His cost only $2.80 and included wash and blow and got receipt somemore. The receipt below is from his blog. From the list of shops in the receipt, the nearest for me is at Bendemeer.
Last week I read a post - the writer said someone used his photo in a Facebook account but the writer himself is not a member of Facebook. He is just an ordinary person with a normal face. Anyway, why would a person want to use another person's photo?
Just to let you know, I don't have an account with Facebook. If you see the name Frannxis there, it is another person. But I don't think another person will come up with this name too.
We should not post sensitive information about the armed forces online. You never know, the information could be used by people with bad intention to harm us and our Country. If not sure if something is sensitive or not, then don't post. No need to wait for something unpleasant to happen first.
On and off I have been reading this blog, A Soldier's Mother. She is not a Singaporean, neither is her son. They are in Israel. Often she writes about the conflict in the Middle East. As you would expect, she is on her country's side.
