Yes, in a matter of days. There are hardly any more days before Christmas to add “s” in day (plural).

We, that is, my wife, Jeannie (also known as the Batik Influencer); and I, have been making our rounds to many of the major shopping malls, together with my cousin, Christopher and his wife, Evalina; and our close friend, Jolly. We wanted to bask in the Christmas-y feelings with all the Christmas decorations and music and presents and loads more of presents (just looking). And oh yeah…the crowds of people. You would think everyone from Malaysia, especially Malacca; came to Kay El (also known as K.L. or Kuala Lumpur [1]) and Pee Jay (P. J. also known as Petaling Jaya [2]), to do the same.

It was also time for a haircut and to colour. I told Sam when she last did my hair, that I would come to see her around this time for a colour.

I told her that I wanted something different from what I’ve had before. I suggested blue. Then, she went into her lecture mode: “You want, can but this and this and this and that and that and that. And you don’t have the time nor the patience to spend time looking after your hair perfectly”.

Sam and I have been very close friends for many years. She first did my daughter, Laura’s hair when Laura was 7 years old. So, she could lecture me with my best interests at heart.

When she put the colour on, I thought it was going to be the colour as in pictures #1 to #3. I thought it was pretty cool. I like.

After over one and half hours and two colours added on, the final result were as per pictures #4 to #6. Yes, two colours. Sam added in a bit of ash colour to give depth to the overall result. I like. I am happy with the final result. Even my neighbours think so. As I was walking my 10km walk this evening, a couple of teenagers remarked, “Uncle you had a haircut. You look good. Nice hair colour.” Compliments to Sam.

As most of us are busy with the hustle and bustle of doing things, let us not forget to have fun. The fun is being in the present (is there a pun here?) with the people we love…or like…or are in our midst😉.

Now… what shall I write for Christmas🎄…O the stress… hahaha😁

As for the Christmas presents, we got some for our loved ones. And…why of course, ourselves, too. Ain’t telling what they are until Christmas. As for mine, hint…it is something to do with ting ting ting and rhymes with joy.
