Alas, to the disappointment of millions of Crazy Rich Asians fans and me, Mr Trump announced last month that the second summit would be held in Hanoi, not Singapore.Then as if to rub it in, in honour of the second Trump-Kim summit, a Hanoi salon started offering a free Kim cut or Trump dye job to anyone who wanted one.If only Malaysia had already invented the flying car for me to drive to Vietnam.
I went online and found out a return flight to Hanoi would cost at least over $200. That was a lot of money to pay for a free haircut.I was about to click the button to book a flight when it occurred to me that I could just get a Kim cut in Singapore for somewhat less than $200 and I wouldn't have to apply for leave from work to travel to Hanoi.Anyway, I can't go to Vietnam because I have a bone spur in my right heel. Seriously, it's a real thing. I'm not malingering.
So last week, I went to the LA Barbershop in VivoCity where I got my commemorative summit Kim cut last year and asked for same.
