Friends who have seen me recently wud notice i am now sporting a very obiang hairstyle - the centre parting aka aaron kwok (guo fu cheng) hairstyle. I used to keep this hairstyle during my younger days in sec + jc sch. However most of the time in uni i was sporting the short-geled hairstyle.

The reason why i am keeping this hairstyle again is not becos i find it nice or trendy. Rather, an ex-colleague of mine has dared me to keep this hairstyle now, as this hairstyle has always been the centre of our jokes for my ex-manager, who has been sporting it since his seconddary sch days till now, which is almost 20yrs. We always teased him for being old-fashioned and aaron-kwok-wannabe. Anyway, the armani hairstyle i have been sporting is also out-of-trend for a very long time. Its nice to have a change. I may go bald before or after CNY again.

Talking abt fashion sense, one of the reason why i nv wanna associate myself with any buddhist youth grp is partly becos of their fashion sense. Coincidentally, I have jokes with 2 person on 2 separate occassions on how obiang the fashion sense of some buddhist grps out there are. Its not difficult to sport them, as their characterics are:

1) Bright polo tee shirt with white collar (polo tee is okie, but the white collar....)
2) Chinese characters printed on them (nothing wrong with the chinese wordings, but not when they wanna use this shirt to attract youths out there in orchard?)
3) They love to button their collar all the way up (for goodness' sake)
4) They tuck in their polo tee into their pants!!!! (speechless)

Anyway, dun take my comments too seriously, as i know i do not have v good fashion sense myself. I remembered Ms Angie also once commented on our NUSBS dark blue polo-tee as too old fashioned and dead. Basically, I have no issue with the buddhist youth grps. I applause their efforts in propagating the Dharma, but pls do NOT try too hard to be trendy or hip. Dress who u r... feel comfortable and happy with ur own dressings. At least NTUBS and NUSBS t-shirts in recent yrs are doing very fine in my opinion, phew.
