Haircut and Mary

Went for my haircut this evening.

Mary was quiet and seemed disturbed.

When almost done, she asked:" any house break-in in your area during Chinese New Year? ".

"No!"

" At my place ( Kajang Prima), break-ins happened almost daily, and happened during day time. Many owners of the house returned after half an hour later, found their houses being broken into... rooms ransacked and mostly gold and jewelry were taken away! I heard they (the thieves) have some instrument to detect such items..."

"We (the residents) are meeting to plan for hiring security guards and other measures. Two days ago, an Indian resident staying at a corner house, returned home and was attacked by robbers... he was slashed and robbed... frightening! "

" If there are 500 houses, almost 300 had been robbed， some even robbed two or three times"

She sure sounded worried and sad.

Me too!

After the haircut, looking at the mirror, saw more white hair.... the scalp looked more shining through the thinning hair...。。！



傍晚去了理发。

玛丽在剪发时，很安静，有点神情忧虑。

在差不多要剪好时，他问：“你们那边在新年期间，有没有偷窃或抢劫事件？”。

“没有！”。

“在我们住的那边（Kajang Prima)，几乎每天都有偷窃事件，而且是在白天发生。许多屋主离家半小时后，回到家门，家里已经被人破门而入偷窃，翻箱倒笼，多数收藏的金器不见了。。。听说他们有特别仪器，可以侦测到金器”。

“我们居民正在讨论雇请保安人员及其他对策。两天前，一位印裔居民，住在角落间，在回到家时，遇见窃匪，见面就横刀直斩，被斩伤了，又被劫。。。真可怕！”

“假如我们这里有五百间屋，至少三百间有被抢窃过，有着还被窃两三次！”

玛丽的确有理由担心及伤心。

我也是。

发理好后，我看看镜子，白发加多了，虚疏的头发，使到头皮更闪亮。。。！
