    If I start loosing hair, I’d go for your method, being bald. I agree that with so little hair, u end up looking weird.. so I think its either you have lost of hair, or none at all to strike a good look. No setengah setengah..haha

    Happy New Year, may 2009 brings prosperity and good health to you and your loved ones.

    I like your post this time bro.

    just wanna share something with you bro, i have few bald friend who would give you the look whenever people make jokes about baldness. I don’t even dare to mention the word ‘botak’ whenever they are around.

    But after i make my head ‘botak’, i can make ‘botak’ jokes, they don’t feel insulted anymore. :)

    I think bald men can be sexy in their own way (think Taye Diggs). But yea it’s such a turn off when we see a guy who’s balding. The only thing goin through our minds would be “Oh god..imagine running our fingers through THAT???”

    elcynthia… there were about 5 women in my office who went bald for a cause earlier last year.. I must say, they kinda look sexier ;)

    Dan.. I’ve accepted the fact that I’m balding, but I don’t think I have the right head shape to be bald. LOL

    ‘With hair, you probably look like a chum, a pussy, look at your friends with hair. They look like flimsy Thai boys waiting to get one up their arses.’

    I think it’s time for me to got for the bald look or forever be labeles as a flimsy Thai boy … LOL! Then again, at the rate my hair is dropping, the bold look is not too far off :D

    Well i definitely don’t think that a bald man is less attractive…in fact bald men can be very very sexy… I guess like you said its how you carry of your baldness……..if you carry it off with confidence..it will jst ooze out……….and you’d look extremely sexy so its all about how you bring it on! happy new year!

    The days when men worried about hair loss are disappearing, that is if they have not already. It was a very “70’s” thing, back in an era when men had long hair, so the ridiculously comical and much derided Semi Value hairstyle is disappearing thankfully, although I prefer to refer to that character as Jabba the Hut of Sungai Siput.

    I remember you had a decent head of hair until 2002 or 2003, and then nature began to take its course, so you wisely went and shaved the lot off. Its a look that does not suit all men, because it depends a lot on facial features. It suits rounder softer faces better, and it certainly looks good on Asian men, granted that I am biased in that regard. And yes….it certainly is sexy.

    I have got used to the idea that one day, inevitably, my hair will go. Its happening gradually to my Dad (hes 57 now), and his siblings. So I reckon I have between 25 and 30 years left with my Rambut….in the meantime, I’ll make the most of it, and if it goes, it goes, for there is nothing far worse, or more ridiculous looking than a middle aged old queen trying to look like mutton dressed as lamb. So I’ll go old and bald with dignity, and I’d advise others facing the vagaries of nature to do the same.

    cdason – Point. Lots of half halves out there, what’s worst, the ones that try to cover their bald spot by growing their side hair REALLY long!

    gregchai – Greetings, likewise for you and your family! :-) Yeah, some people, or most men are sensitive about their balding situation.

    sriyany – LOL! Yeah, it’s better to go to distance, instead of leaving the odd coconut trees. If they’re bald, there’s always the chest hair to run your fingers through! :-)

    tekkaus – Thank you. :-) And Happy New Year to you too my friend!

    sheela – Amen! :-) Happy New Year!

    elcynthia – Bald women, that’s a toughie for me. That is where the above advice is not applicable, as I LOVE women with long hair, beyond their shoulders, but not touching their butts. :-) Happy New Year!

    Alv0808 – Yeah, it could also not look good though, depending on the shape of the head. LOL!

    nayden79 – Agree! Happy New Year! :-)

    tihtahpah – For women, I can’t really advice on that, hmmm, it’s not as straightforward as men, that’s for sure.

    xin – That works too! And as the years go by, have a couple of lawn mowers! LOL!

    shirley aka beautiza – LOL! Happy New Year!

    Daniel Ng – Right on! :-D Happy New Year to you too amigo!

    Izad – Nevermind Izad, just embrace it, let your confidence shine! :-

    Nick Phillips – LOL! Why wait, start shaving Nick! I hope your wife don’t come hunting for my ass! :-D

    cher – Happy New Year! Exactly, confidence is key. Even if you look like a conehead, your confidence will rub off on women.

    Diarmuid Curran – Yeah, I wasn’t balding at the top, but definitely receding! :-P

    Men with receding hairline aren’t necessarily a turn off. Nicholas Cage makes my knees weak anytime.

    Anybody who wants their ‘Rambut’ to stay healthy and ‘banyak’ stop using hair gel and shampoo containing SLS…
    seriously…. hair gel mostly contains oil which tutup the liang roma of your hair causing it tersumbat then terbantut the growing of healthy hair… As for SLS (self explainatory) ;-p.. hoped this helps ;-) )
    But then again.. bald is nice & sexy.. however I like to run my fingers through hair.. ;-p
