Rambut Baru

Aku memangkaskan rambutku di tukang pangkas di Manggarai dua hari yang lalu. Dan ini adalah beberapa komentar tentang penampilan rambutku yang baru.

"Wah, baru pangkas kau, Bang. Jadi makin tampan aja nih.."
"Cie.. yang rambut baru. Jadi tambah keren.."
"Yah, kok dipotong, Kak? Gak keren lagi lah kayak pemain film Korea.."
"Wah, rambut baru. Saya sampai tidak bisa mengenali barusan.. tapi bagus kok."
"Begitu dong. Tampak jauh lebih muda."

Masih ada beberapa komentar lagi, tetapi aku lupa. Hanya saja memang lebih banyak yang suka rambutku dipotong dibanding panjang seperti kemarin.

Lalu, sebenarnya kenapa aku memangkaskan rambutku? Alasan utama bukan karena disuruh Nyak. Aku memang sudah ingin memangkaskan rambutku sebelum Nyak datang. Hanya saja aku memang sengaja ingin memperlihatkan rambutku yang panjang ke Nyak. Sewaktu Nyak melihat rambutku, Nyak cuma bilang, "mase ma sonin ganjangni jambulanmin? Lang jenges huidah." ("Kenapa rambutmu panjang seperti itu? Jelek kulihat.") Yang mengherankan, Nyak berpikir kalau aku mengkeritingkan rambutku. Padahal rambutku memang cenderung berombak (atau malah keriting) kalau dibiarkan panjang.

Nah, dengan penampilan rambutku yang baru ini, sepertinya akan ada yang terpikat. *nah, lho?*

Bald

The last time I go to the barber shop was in November 2005. That time, I cut my hair to be as neat as possible. After that time, I never go to barber shop and cut my hair. I do that on purpose. I have never had my hair as long as my Father had in picture in his S1 certificate from the same school as I do know. That’s the reason why I want to try one.

I ever thought that I would let my hair as long as possible, so I can make my hair banded. I like a girl with hair banded, especially the hair banded that make a girl look sporty. When my hair length had been quite enough to make my hair banded, I band my hair. But it was not really quite enough to make my hair neat.

In the other hand, I got problems with my hair. I had a lot of dandruff. Even I used an anti-dandruff shampoo, it didn't quite work. I had the dandruff fall over my hair even after my hair was just washed.

When I went to my family's house, my Bapa Tongah (or can be also freely translated as uncle) said that my hair made me looks like a girl. A girl isn't determined by her hair, I said to myself. But, my coming to their house had made me decided to cut my hair. Actually, I had decide to cut my hair before go to their house. But I didn't find any good place and have reasonable price to cut my hair.

The next week, I got my hair cut. Not because what my Bapa Tongah words, but because I didn't want look not neat when one of the head of my church synod would come to my family's church. I cut my hair on Saturday, a day before I came to my family's house for the Monday's job that had been given to me by my cousin in their church.

In my last hair cut before that day, I also go to the same barber shop. I didn't satisfy with his way cut my hair. That's why I decided to shave my hair off. Two days after I got my hair cut, I went to Atrium Plaza with my friends. I went there to get my hair shaved off in Johny Andrean Training Center. That's why my head now was already bald.

Kutumbaba

Baju hitam? Siapa takut!

Ketombe merupakan masalah. Aku saat ini mengalaminya. Sudah keramas setiap kali mandi dengan shampoo Head and Shoulders -yang katanya paling ampuh untuk mengatasi ketombe dan lebih mahal- ternyata tidak menuntaskan masalah ketombe yang kualami. Pernah dengar dari sepupuku kalau ketombe itu bisa ada di rambut karena rambut yang lembab. Aku jadi heran kenapa cewek sering keramas dan membiarkan rambutnya kering dengan sendirinya tidak ketombean, sedangkan aku kalau aku mengeringkan rambut -memang tidak pernah sampai kering- dengan cara seperti itu, hasilnya pasti tak lama berselang ketombe bagaikan salju turun di musim panas.

What should I do? Ganti shampoo? Atau ganti rambut? Sekarang rambutku memang lagi gondrong-gondrongnya. Dan berencana untuk memiliki shaved head seperti J Allard. Gak tahu kan siapa J Allard? Dia adalah head of Xbox 360's team nya Microsoft dan juga V.P. nya Microsoft. I guess shaved head is the best answer. Less hair, less shampoo.
