barber
It's always good to go for a haircut. But I will advise you not to visit the barber when Singapore is playing in the Table Tennis 3rd place playoffs. Serious.
As the commentary gets more intense and Li Jiawei gets a point, each stroke the barber exerts seemed to increase proportionally. There appears to be a positive correlation between the intensity of the Table Tennis match and the amount of hair that gets cut. On the account that my hair is relatively drier and tougher, my hair is still in shape, thankfully. Not that it has much shape to begin with. I almost thought I would turn into a bloody bald by the time the match ended.
Putting that aside, the barbers were having quite an interesting conversation. It was on Li Jiawei's motivation to win the match. If I didn't catch it wrongly, they discussed about the prize money that she will be receiving if she won third placing in Table Tennis in the Olympics. There was a moment when the commentator said over the radio that Li Jiawei isn't going to give up easily in that fight, and the barber skeptically added on that she was fighting for the prize money, of course. Well, coming back, we can't tell for sure, if she was actually fighting for the Nation's pride or for her own monetary rewards.
It always this recurring issue about money. If you were in her shoes, what will be the driving force in your mind when you hold that racket in your hand?
I will never know, if one day, I might just enslave myself for money.
And below, just for laughs, credits to Ying. It's a short clip on 'The Dark Knight'.
