Hairful Woes

When I was younger, I used to nonchantly say: " If I ever start losing my hair, no biggie! I'd just shave the whole thing off!" -followed by a overconfident and rather loud laugh.

Alas, it have come upon me. Not baldness, but a receding hairline! To me! A young man of only 26 year! Its brought on more concern than I thought I would give this issue.

I think it began just as I was leaving Melb, but became rather obvious when I was in Beijing. May have been caused by the stress of relocating and settling down so much. But since I've been back in Singapore, its not improved either. Might be the stress of starting a family and the new job.

I've been using those anti-hair fall shampoo and even a hair tonic at one point, things seem to be stabalizing in the northen part of my head now, but there's this constant fear that the status quo might be upset one day. Stress from work and constant interrupted sleep courtesy of Lil J are not helping either.

I hate to make myself sound old, but I guess with age, things become lesser, shorter and smaller (yelps!). If I was any richer, I'd prob consider those hair growth salons, but the embarassment of being found out and impending hole in my pocket are great impediments to this.

Yeah, I think if things do take a turn for the worse, no biggie, I'd just shave the whole thing off! HA Ha ha, erm... ha... ... : (
