I bumped into an old friend yesterday someone whom i have not met for many years, the next statement came straight from his mouth after all the niceties and pleasantries, was this.........
"Eugene, how come you don't look as handsome as you used to, look at your receding hair line,it really makes you look old lah" to be very frank i was in a way offended by his statement and I am sure what he said was true,(ok not the part of "you don't look as handsome as you used to be" but the part of "receding hair line")
I acted cool though,telling him what to do age was catching on me. Guess what i did after my friend left, as i was on the way to picking Jovial up, at every red stop at the traffic junction, i would move down my rear view mirror, angled it at my head view, gently stroking my hair and sighing away.
Call it narcissism or self impression but frankly i was in a way disturbed by my old friend's remarks, i suddenly felt dampened in spirit and guts and i wonder why?
Frankly how i wished my old friend could have remarked such as this,'Hey Eugene, have not seen you for so many years and you still look great" hahahha i long for that kind of remarks but then again,the truth also hurts, doesn't it?
虽秃了头，我还是原来的我
P/S : Guess i don't need my hair to meet God, do I?
Yeah, sometimes I wish people have more tact when commenting about our appearance although we know ourselves that it is true. ;p
ReplyDeletePeople who met me after so long always commented that I am fatter. Yeeee.... Even though I am fatter than say 20 years ago, still not nice to hear it.
Is just the hair...For me, you are still looking great bro! Cheer up ya.
ReplyDeleteYes, 真实永远是残酷的。。
ReplyDeleteI encountered something similar before and what pissed me off is, the person who criticised me is someone who is not close to me at all.... >=(
I solve my receding hairline problem by getting an almost bald haircut, makes my head more aerodynamic ... hahaha!
ReplyDelete十个秃九个富嘛！
ReplyDeleteAiyor...you're so vain! Old! Old lah!!! Miang keladi, makin tua...makin jadi! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteEugene,
ReplyDeletethat's life. some of us are not so blessed to have our hair as we aged.
as for your friend maybe he is the straight forward type of person and just shoot his mouth without thinking his remark will hurt. in dealing with sensitive issue like age, hair, we have to be tactful but best is avoid making remarks totally unless being asked to.Don't let it bother you bro. it used to bother me a few years ago, but not anymore.
Haha, some people are just too frank, or direct :p
ReplyDeleteHa, Ha ,look at it this way, technically it is just due to Entropy or the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
ReplyDeleteEverything falls apart.
easy...shave it off. Kasi botak. Then wont look aged. U see the Eric Leong. Still look so young
ReplyDeleteMy opinion: Having heart better than having hair.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make sense? :)
I agree with Johnnie and yvonne.
ReplyDeleteHe could be just saying some words to 'discourage' u laa.. some ppl is like that wan. Forget about it!
Maybe his hair is is getting less too? so it sort of consoling himself as well..
ReplyDeleteanyway, it is normal for men to drop hair as they grow more "matured." :)
aiyoo,jangan layan k..with or without still hensem :)
ReplyDeletedun be sad Eugene... many guys have this problem. some resolve by shaving and go bald, which i think quite cool (yeng) :) most of our company's big bosses are 秃头. you still look very chun and handsome to me! :)
ReplyDeleteyr ps makes me smile..
ReplyDeleteyo bro, don't feel so down. I get that recently too, not about the receding hair line, but something even worse. There's a bald patch on top of my head!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys
ReplyDelete我还是原来的我！ I like this!
