A Conversation with a Hairstylist

It is amazing the kind of insights your regular neighbourhood hairstylist can have on world events.

This conversation was conducted mostly in Mandarin. Here it is translated into Singlish.

Hairstylist: *while washing my hair* Today Jakarta kena bombing leh. Bomb two hotels leh.
Me: Ya. I read about it just now.
Hairstylist: That place so messed up already. Still keep bombing.
Me: Ya.
Hairstylist: Siao eh. (Hokkien: "Crazy")
Me: Hehehee....
Hairstylist: Bo nao. (Hokkien: "No brain")
Me: Hahahahaaa.......
