Shorn

Now briefly at Mak's house in Melaka. Arrived yesterday evening, early enough to venture into Alor Gajah for a teh tarik and burger and get a good night's rest ahead of the term beginning. Noi was plying the clippers this morning to ensure I'm suitably shorn for the rigours ahead - and she also cut Mak's hair as well.

We were trying to figure out when we bought the Remington clippers Noi traditionally uses. Sometime in the last millennium, I suspect. It's a long time since I paid for a haircut so the clippers have definitely paid for themselves. For a cheapskate like myself this is a big deal, you know!
