    I found out about school speed limits the hard way when I first emigrated. Also regarding back to school, I popped into the shopping centre at Victoria point on Friday with the hope of it being quiet and quickly getting a haircut. Nope, the barbers was surrounded by kids probably getting their haircut ready for today. I left before I even got close and on Saturday buzzed it all off myself. Number two I think. Did the same thing this time last year but on number zero. Feels a lot lighter and cooler.

      Haha, sounds like me. Decided to do buzz cut myself just to avoid the hustle and bustle of the shops. I just dislike cutting the hair off the back of my neck, have no idea if it is straight or too far down. Oh well, can’t see that part, so should be right.

        Haha. Yeah I did a guessing game at the back. I even wet shaved it to get rid of all the straggly bits. I kinda feel ok so I’ll just have to hope. Might get a workmate to take a photo of it for reassurance.

        I might have to go back to doing this. Basic men’s haircuts seem to be $35-50 wherever you go now.

        Sure rents and expenses have gone up which is fair, but its still a lot of money for 12 mins in the chair.

          I do my best to limit my visits. I just don’t like sitting there sometimes. I actually buzzed my own for ten years at one point in life. Thankfully I have a decent head of hair and it grows back no problem. I get sick of the damn stuff sometimes. I was on public transport earlier and my younger neighbour got on and sat beside me. She has lovely long locks and she said she’s tempted to buzz it at times. The damn stuff just takes up too much time and effort at a certain point.
