my little hooligan

With his earrings, this boy struck me even more as a common hooligan in Singapore(in Singlish, we call him, Ah Beng). The trademark colored hair, earrings, and sloppy dressing make for the perfect Ah Beng.

 

Yet, this chap is far from that. His hair is naturally brownish, his earrings there for some traditional purposes, and his dressing common to the way the kids dress there: uneventful. He dutifully takes his younger sister to school everyday, and cares for her in a way that puts me to shame as a brother of younger sister too.

 

See this for proof.
