hair

i really want to cut my hair. but because of chinese new year the barber is charging extra. it is really weird because the malay barbers are doing this. why do they when hairdressers and chinese barber charge the same. it is really iritating. i can understand if it is hari raya but chinese new year. i this the move is really ridiculous because my classmates who are mostly chinese would go to a hair dresser it really affects me and non chinese customers. well i hope malay barbers would not charge extra during chinese new year because they should be business minded. for example instead of charging extra, they should have a discount. wouldn't you agree. it is really stupid. it is like you go to kfc and they charge extra $2 for every meal purchased. you think people would come and buy. they would rater go kopitiam. so you should get the point.

this is something weird, i have seen before a newpaper article which featured a barber shop charging extra $2 for a haircut during chinese new year and they proudly place it at the shop thinking it is an acheivement. well i don't think so. really this is like a singapore culture or maybe a tradition. really irritating huh.

so i just have to wait for a while until the sign that says about the price increase is torn off. but anyway i want to wish a happy year of rat to the chinese and non chinese because everyone is celebrating it. you know why because it is the biggest holiday in singapore. and many people are not working during this day.

isn't it good that singapore is a multi racial society. well know know why because during chinese new year in china chinese people still have to work even it is chinese new year and i really pity them. they have to fix the power because of nthe storm. however in singapore, they can depend on the non chinese to work so that the singapore economy is still running. and noone lose out. because when there is hari raya it becaome vice versa. so i am really greatful to live in singapore
