The question is why so far? Why waste money? Why not Do It Yourself for her?
We travel 20 odd kilometres away to this saloon. The girls will say: " go kor kor shop cut hair...". Abigail will says: "I don't want jie jie's shop." We are more than willing to do so as we tried 3 saloon in Klang but papa were not satisfy with the hair styles that stylist has done on his princesses' hair.
This saloon has "teman" the girls in their growing up journey. The owner of the shop will be able to comment things like :"Wah, jie jie so tall d." ... "Mei Mei's hair is a little thicker than those days"... They have bond with the kor kor so much that they enjoyed going there. The kor kor is straight in his approach and ensure the girl listen to his instructions. "Look down..." "Mei Mei, don't move!"... and etc.
Last Sunday, we visited once again to trim their hair. This time round, is different. Not because change of owner nor they had just renovated the place, it is the feeling of us seeing the girls seated on the high hair, look into the mirror while listening to what they were told to do (Annabelle occasionally will look at the mirror and give us a shy face smile on her face.).
While waiting for them, we recalled that we used to prepare sweets, ensure extra pair of clothing available, prepare gadget "thing" to divert the girls' attention so that the stylist could complete the tasks. I remembered once, I had to carry Abigail on my shoulder as she was asleep while having her hair trim; the hair covered me as if I am having my hair cut!
"Annabelle and Abigail, if you are reading this many years later; you need to know Papa and Mummy are willing to do everything for you both, so as to ensure you both are comfortable when having hair cut"
Although hair cut is a minor process, as we recall and reflect; this is the place where memories are collected besides home, school, park, daycare, grandparents home, church and etc.
