homemade blues

Sambungan - Sunday's story.

We went to Ampang coz we had to get the pictures we sent for printing. Then we went to visit my eldest uncle (Ibu's eldest brother) - he just came out of Ampang Puteri due to an operation. I had to tell D repeatedly why we had to go and visit sbb dia tak nak pegi, and wanted to go to Ampang Point instead. Sigh.

Anyway, when we got to my uncle's house, and my uncle asked D for a check-up (since I kept teling D that Tok Long was sick), D put his hand on Tok Long's forehead and declared, "He's tak panas!". We all burst out laughing... Tak tau la nak jadi doktor ke anakku ini...

After that, we headed back to Subang/Shah Alam to get the boys a long, overdue haircut. A was first, coz D refused to go first and wanted ice-cream as incentive. Double sigh. So, A cried his lungs out when the clipper started buzzing. But we got his hair clipped crew-cut style... hehe. D pulak, was telling G how he wanted his hair cut, then went quiet when the haircut was ongoing, but... when it was done, he burst into tears! "I don't want it like this!" Alamak! We just told the barber to give him a number 2 cut on the sides, and a number 3 on the top, and Danial got upset!

My baby boy has started to care about what he looks like! I want to cry, I tell ya. Sebelum ni, he'd just wear what I put on him, eat what I put in front of him (ok lah, this part was until he's about 1 year old only...) and cry when he had his hair cut, but that's because he's scared of the barber... Now, he's upset because he felt he looked weird with the buzz cut.

I tried consoling him that his hair will grow, and I apologized repeatedly to him. He was feeling slightly better later, and you know what he said? "Ok, my hair will grow longer, and I will be Danial again."

It just damned well near broke my heart. I'm sorry, baby. We'll go to another place to get a nice hair cut next time, ok? And this time, I will listen to you what kind of hair cut you want.

p.s. Hari ni, he wanted to wear a cap. So that his friends won't see his hair. I feel so ashamed.
