yup. got myself bald again. and as i was about to head to the hairdresser, a thought came to my mind. and i asked - hmmm, perhaps i should do it after tomorrow? there will be guests visiting my unit tomorrow and i will not look good if i were bald, so unglam... and then i remembered - the very reason why i wanted to go bald is to remind myself that i should not be attached to the whole idea of beauty. such superficiality/ vanity is against the the grain of my practise as a buddhist. that i should continue to cultivate my inner self and guard myself against attachments, much less attachments to myself.
and so, i went ahead with my baldness...
