HAIR CUT, ANYONE?

EC, QB, and all other 10 minutes hair cut barber shops can cut your hair at an affordable cost of just $10. However, a hair cut in tekong cost you just $2 and finishes the job in just seconds!

We recuits, was introduced rudely, the legendary tekong barber.

We were first seated onto a chair, then we took off our grey army t-shirts and the barber shaves our hair in just a few good strokes. This was done with force, to the extend that we thought that the electric shaver was plucking out our hair instead. Yes although most of the barbers are made up of young ladies, the sheer size of them all doesn't bring you any comfort. At all, period. Without forgetting also the occascional times when lumps of hair gets jammed into the electric shavers and the ladies tried to rectify it by using again, by force.

Immediately the hair cut, we went to an open area with brushes to brush off our hair off our heads and body.

Some of the recuits, however did not bring any small change for that legendary hair cut and thus, had to boerrow that 2 bucks from other fellow recuits. After the hair cut, they were at a lost. They did not who they borrowed from. Everyone look alike.

Subsequently, we were made to go through this painful process at a rate of once a month. That is when our hair grows approximately at a length about 1cm. Such was the length or our hair that we were able to observe our hairs growing. Most of the recuits, for 2 months, save a tidy sum of money by not using shampoos altogether and laughed madly at fellow recuits who still wanted to use shampoos.

The tekong hair style, or so we call it, had it's advantages. It's perfect for wearing helmets without worrying about hair fringes sticking out from the front side of the helmet. We need not worry about dirt trapping and getting buried into our hair. Dirt on a recuits hair can be easily be wash off by just water or even powder. there were just so many advantages to list.

Best of all, we stand out among the crowds. In the movies, game arcades, and of course, sentosa.
